We get through winter up here in Minnesota with this coat. The fabric is absolutely epic: waterproof, windproof, soft, stretchy, quiet, cozy, breathable and nontoxic. The long ear-covering collar fends of chilling drafts. The WinterPaw has an opening for the collar at the bottom of the neck, and an opening for harnesses on the back. The practically magic magnetic SwiftLock buckle is easy on-and-off, even with mittens on! The reflective trim keeps us out on even the longest winter nights.
Sizing Tip: The sizing is in line with our other styles so feel confident that your size-12-fleece-wearing dog will look fab in a size 12 Winterpaw.
Did you know:Waterproofing is one of the biggest pollutant sources in our world's waterways? This fabric is non-toxic, using no forever-chemicals. In fact, it's the same waterproofing found on cloth diapers. Baby safe for your baby!
Harness Help: Great harness access so you can keep your harness dry too! Layering a fleece under there? Put the harness over the fleece and the Winterpaw on top of that.
This coat fits my dog perfectly in every way except the length. I flops off her butt so far, it looks like she's wearing a cape. For reference my dog is a 30lb terrier mix, proportioned like a small sporting dog (longer neck, deep chest, legs only slightly shorter than her back is long).

Lisa Stevens - Winter Paw
My dog usually wears a 12 in the Gold Paw original Stretch Fleece and he wears a 12 in this as well. The outer lining is very nice and not bulky or stiff and the inner lining is warm and soft. It is not bulky which is good for my dog. I also like the long neck on the coat that covers his ears if I pull it up which I like. The other reason I tried this is the clip around the body of the coat to keep it in place. My dog does not like when I pull the Velcro on his old coat so this was a perfect alternative. I also like that the color blue is more navy and not as bright blue as the picture on the website. I love everything I’ve ordered from Gold Paw Series for my dogs.

Perfect
This is the perfect warm up jacket for walking to the dog park. It goes over the harness and comes off easily so my dog can be let loose to play with her friends without taking her harness off.

Winterpaw - Great for Midwest Cold!
Totally biased, but my lil chihuahua mix in this coat is the cutest thing that has ever existed. Most importantly, it keeps her really warm! She shakes when cold, so it's easy to tell when something really works for her. It's already dipped well below zero here once or twice, and this does the trick for short outings. She wears a 12 in the fleece but a 10 in the rainpaw so I guessed a 10 would be the right pick here as well and I was right.

Geat winter coat!
We break out the Winter Paw when the fleece is just not enough for the cold and wind. We haven't had any snow yet, but I expect it will be great when that arrives. It took a bit of adjusting to keep it from sliding around her but it's so easy to adjust and so easy to put on that wasn't a problem. The buckle is amazing--I can't figure out how it stays so secure, but I love it.
