Dog Coats
Many dog breeds really do need winter coats to brave the winter weather.
Small dogs are the most likely to need extra insulation. Toy terriers, chihuahuas, miniature pinchers and many other small breeds do struggle to deal with cold winter temperatures. Short-haired dogs, such as whippets and greyhounds, who tend to shiver quite easily, would benefit from wearing a dog coat or sweater for their walks on chilly days.
Dog coats are recommended also if the area where you live experiences temperatures below zero or if your dog is outdoors for long periods in the winter. This can apply even to larger breeds that are accustomed to the cold as their bellies have can have thin or no fur and maybe exposed to the elements. Dogs recuperating from an illness or injury may also be more sensitive to lower temperatures, as are older dogs and puppies.
The coat is fully washable and quick to dry and comes complete with a lead/harness hole in the neck.
Why buy a dog coat from Soul Destiny?
Does my dog need a dog coat? During the cooler and wetter months in the UK, many dogs will benefit from wearing a dog coat.
Consider what you want to achieve from your dog coat, do you need it to be waterproof, warm and easy to wear? If so, then do look through our wide range of dog coats, you will find something suitable for your dog. All our dog coats are stylish, but a dog coat is not just a fashion accessory, the perfect dog coat must be practical and comfortable.
We pride ourselves on excellent customer service and will despatch your order as quickly as we can. We appreciate that it is often difficult to find the right size and are very happy to exchange coats to get the exact fit.
Why wear a dog coat?
A range of factors will dictate whether your dog could benefit from an extra layer of protection against the elements. Important things to consider include their age, type of fur, breed, activity levels, and where you live. Dogs with thin, fine coats are of course much more likely to feel the cold than larger, furrier dogs. Dogs with thin coats might also benefit from wearing a coat immediately after intense exercise to help prevent them from becoming chilled as they quickly lose excess heat. Dogs with shorter legs will benefit from wearing a dog coat as their leg and tummy fur will be constantly wet and cold.
Many dog breeds kept as pets here now in the UK are not actually native breeds and therefore may not have the natural coats to cope with our colder climate. Older dogs, like humans, feel the cold more, they are also more susceptible to diabetes, heart disease, cancer and kidney disease and therefore would benefit from extra protection from the cold by wearing a dog coat.
Some dogs really don’t like wearing a coat, if they are not happy wearing a coat, don’t force it. Perhaps try wearing it for short periods of time in the house and gradually build up the time.
Finally, don’t put your dog’s coat on until you are ready to go out, and take it off and dry it as soon as you get home.
Do you need to keep your dog warm, dry or both?
Many of our coats are waterproof, some come with a fleece lining and some suits have trouser legs.
Our waterproof trouser suits are an excellent choice for dogs who seem to be constantly attracted to the wet and mud, the suits protect your entire dog and offer wind and rain protection. These suits come in full leg or half leg sizes to suit all breeds.
We have a wide range of fleece and fur lined dog coats, please do look through our range to find the perfect coat for your dog.

How to measure your dog to find the right size of dog coat?
Coat size is determined by measuring nape of the neck to base of tail.
Be sure your dog is standing squarely, with head up, while measuring. With your dog looking straight ahead, measure from the point where the neck joins the body to the point where the tail joins the body. This measurement will determine what size coat you should buy.
Thank you for the excellent service, the quality is very good and delivered promptly.
I’m going to order again today
The vet bedding I originally ordered was out of stock. Received an email to advise this next morning after ordering, chose a new pattern which was still delivered on time. The product is so soft and thick. My elderly border collie loves it. Thank you so much for all your help x
Very happy as always
Great product
Fast delivery
Great value
Be back soon
Lovely, soft and fleecy. Bought these off-cuts for our guinea pigs and they love them. I put them under their beds and they keep them snuggly and warm.
Would recommend and buy again. Just beware if your piggies chew, ours haven't chewed them, so quite safe.
First time from this supplier and will definitely return, excellent quality and first class turnround
It is a fantastic product and ECO friendly, for me this is a deal breaker! Excellent quality and easy to wash
Super absorbent, and very easy to clean!! Great service, very quick delivery and high quality product. Cannot fault it!! Happy and comfy pups. Cannot ask for more!
This a lovely soft vet bedding - very good value and great delivery service. Recommended
Excellent service with fast delivery. The vet bed was a lovely colour and nice and cosy for our new puppy….she loves it.
Great product, love the range of colours and design available. Washes well and dog seems to love it too…
Very nice and soft. Puppy settled immediately so I shall order again
These fleeces keep my rabbit dry! She was suffering with wet tail daily due to age! Her fur is growing back now she’s dry and I don’t have to bathe her😀
I have been buying vet bed with the green backing for about 12yrs now and lasts an age! But each time I change cars they get cut up to suit!
But this time I needed a piece big enough to cover the entire back of our new Honda HRV when the back seats are laid down for our dogs bed.
Soul Destiny do various sizes of the high grade with non-slip back and at a very compatible price, but very few companies do a nice plain dark grey/charcoal.
So we pushed the boat out and purchased the plain charcoal, a piece 3m x 2m.
Wow is all I can say....but will add...it is excellent quality, the non-slip backing is great and cut to size fits the entire back of the car and up the front seat backs to catch all the white dog hair!
Yes it sheds fluff, but I have never had any vet bed that doesn't until it's washed and tumble dried a few times!
But I gave it a really good hoover once fitted in the car and had enough left over to make two little mats for her dirty paw tread area to her bed, so I don't have to dismantle the car too often to wash the entire fitted piece!
Excellent service and as usual quality and price.
2 years ago i got bedding from Soul Destiny for 2 new puppies we had but due to sibling problems one had to go, I sent his bedding with him to his new owner. The puppy we have still got STILL has his bedding!!! so thought best to get him new as he is now 2 years.
This bedding is 200% better than dog beds and would never have anything else. Barney is so comfortable on this bedding. Thank you Soul Destiny. XXXXX
Arrived within a day or two of ordering, good quality, really impressed. Would shop again.
Prompt delivery, very good quality bed. I bought as extra bedding for my puppy so not used yet but very impressed with the look of it, also excellent value
