Ancol Muddy Paws Stormguard Coat

Waterproof, fleece-lined and very popular with UK owners.

Why it’s on Gizzy’s list

A proper winter workhorse. The waterproof outer and fleece lining keep small dogs warm on wet walks, and the chest protector covers the belly area that gets soaked first on short legs. Elasticated neck and leg straps help it stay put, and reflective edging adds a little visibility after dark.

Best for

• Wet, muddy winter walks
• Short-coated or slim small dogs that feel the cold
• Owners who want an easy, pull-over-the-head coat

Size tips

Comes in XS upwards. Measure back length and chest girth, then check Ancol’s chart on the listing. Reviewers say most sizes are spot on, but the larger sizes can run small, so if you’re between two, go up. How to measure your dog.

Good to know

• Pulls on over the head, which some dogs need a little practice with
• Reflective trim, not a light, so pair it with a collar light on dark evenings
