Pops and Basil are so adorable in their hoodies so please post what you make new for them this season as I’m sure it will be too cute. Thanks for pulling together all these DIY ideas for doggie coats; I have a cashmere sweater that really really shrunk and I can’t wear it so I set it aside thinking I’d make a coat for Beaver, but wasn’t sure where to begin. Looks like you’ve got several links to sites with upcycle sweater ideas, so he’ll probably be sporting a cashmere coat this winter. Just his luck the sweater is sort of “barbie pink” but my little guy is a trooper and he’ll wear it proudly 😉 Robin
Oh Robin! That is sooooooo awesome!!! My friend Beaver is going to be wearing cashmere!!! I am sure that he will look totally amazing…maybe a navy bow tie accent is in order : ) Can’t wait to see him in it : ) I have submitted the paper work into Home Depot…so hopefully soon : ) You keep me posted ok because it gets sent directly : ) Please give Mr. Beaver HUGE Hugs from all of us here ok!!!! Think of you guys and especially Mr. Beaver OFTEN!!!!! : ) Talk to you soon…tons of hugs!!!
It never really gets cold enough for doggie wear, but I will be sharing this post with our dog park friends especially those adorable doxies of yours.
Thanks Donna! I hope they enjoy the selections : ) I love them! hugs…
Thank you for featuring our Winter Wonderland dog sweater! This is a great roundup! I plan on sharing on my social media networks! Thanks!

Amazing!! Where to start?
I just got an idea while I was at work tonight(I just got off) to April Fool my policeman husband. We’re always joking about making one of our pets a police animal(3 cats and a dog who’s intimidated by them lol) so I’ve decided to see if I can find an old police shirt to use. Then, when he gets up to go to work, there they are, in the patrol car ready to go(I’ll slip them in right before he leaves)!

I LOVE IT!!!!! Do let us know how it goes!!!!!! : ) Take care and enjoy your day!!!!
One of the problems with coats for Dachshunds is that they are never long enough, particularly underneath. Dachshunds get awfully wet underneath and need just as much protection there as they do on top when they go out in wet weather. Even if it’s not raining but has been raining, a Dachshund will come in soaking underneath despite his back being dry.
Thanks for these patterns. They all look great. I was hoping to find one that covers their back hips more so I am hoping to adjust one to do this. I’m sure a lot of dogs have problems with back hips, so it would be great to find a coat pattern that covers back hips and a little bit of legs. Maybe if I can adjust a pattern I could post it here. Thank You.
Thank you for this post! I’ve shared it with my sweaterpups friends on Facebook. We’re a collective of crafters making doggie sweaters for southern rescues finding homes in the colder north. Spread the word, if you want, and keep crafty! Woof! sweaterpups.com
Thank you for compiling this list with pictures! 🙂 makes it easy to find the right style.
Where is the pattern?
That pug is looking snug… as snug as a pug in a rug? Or something like that. 🙂
