Extra Details:
We just moved to Minnesota, and it’s way colder than anything my Italian Greyhound is used to! My IG is tiny, short-coated, and definitely not built for harsh winters. I want to find the best cozy winter gear and home products that’ll actually keep her warm and comfortable — not just cute. Think functional warmth for walks, indoor snuggles, and everything in between.
The best investment we made for winter was a heated pet pad — ours is a low-watt, chew-safe one with two heat settings. We put it in her favorite bed spot and now even on those -10°F mornings she hops right onto it and curls up instead of shivering on the cold floor.
If your floors are freezing and your girl loves snuggling, a heated pad is going to make a huge difference. Just make sure you get one sized for small dogs and with a low temp setting — Italian Greyhounds (or dogs in general) don’t need sauna heat, just cozy warmth.
Dumas Goods Super Warm IG Winter Coat! I got my sister's IG one of these layered winter coats and OMG, night and day compared to her old jackets. Waterproof + windproof with fleece inside — perfect for those sub-zero bathroom breaks here in New York. Sizing guide nailed it. Comes in so many colors too.
