Walking around New York City is always fun, but it quickly gets too cold for small dogs in the winter time. Wearing a little dog jacket is important for smaller breeds to stay warm while walking to the pet shop
for delicious treats. Staying fashionable is just as important in case we run into some furry friends or make some new dog friend along the way.
Victoria wore a Victoria Stoltz Red Cashmere Jacket on a recent excursion in the city. The little cashmere dog jacket is fully lined with silk, and closes with 3 black snaps in the center front. The button hole at the center back allows the leash to be easily attached .
To order a custom cashmere for your little dog, include his or her neck, chest, and back length measurements with your order. Find the jacket at the following link:
Stay warm and enjoy the rest of your winter!
XOXO,
Kate Stoltz and Victoria
What size jacket do I need for my dog? It's a common question asked by people shopping for dog jackets for their furry friends. Taking the time to measure your dog and getting the proper size jacket is an important part of preparing your dog's wardrobe for the winter. A well fitting jacket makes it easier for your dog to adjust to the feeling of wearing clothing, and is an important step to getting them to appreciate wearing a coat.
To measure your dog, use a tailor's measuring tape. If you don't have one, you can use a piece of ribbon, and measure the length with a ruler. Don't pull it too tight while measuring, it should be comfortable.
To measure your dog's neck, measure around the neck where a collar would typically go.
To measure your dog's back, measure from the bottom of the neck to beginning of the tail.
To measure your dog's chest, measure around the body right behind the front legs, wherever the chest is the largest.
