Zack & Zoey Dog Hoodie

For a short-haired dog who gets chilly on cool mornings, the Zack & Zoey Dog Hoodie has an appealingly simple job: add a cozy layer without turning getting dressed into a costume event. The tomato-red color also does most of the work for a holiday photo. No antlers required, which your dog may appreciate more than the photo itself.

The fabric is 65% polyester and 35% cotton, with a hood and the familiar shape of a sweatshirt. This version is Small with a stated 12-inch length. Check your dog’s measurements before choosing it; “Small” alone doesn’t tell you enough about fit, especially around the chest and neck. You want room for comfortable movement, not a snug outfit that only works while sitting still.

Small dogs and short-haired dogs are sensible candidates for an extra layer in cool weather. For freezing temperatures or wet walks, though, a basic hoodie shouldn’t replace weather-appropriate outerwear. I’d consider this for modest warmth and a cheerful photo outfit, provided the dog is comfortable wearing clothes. The red sweatshirt is plenty of decoration on its own.
