A reflective windbreaker great for walking at night…

We’ve given this windbreaker as a gift to new puppy parents, and it was the best decision we’ve ever made.

Plus, the tennis brand’s logo on the back is so cute. Logomania, population: your dog. ($50, Maxbone)

This one is designed to release excess heat while your dog runs around, but will still keep them warm on cold days. It’s made from a polyester fleece that’s brushed on the inside for softness.

One side is windproof and waterproof; the other is a plaid fleece that’ll keep them cozy on the coldest days. It’s available in XS–3XL, and to make sure you get the right fit, there’s a sizing chart available to help you take accurate measurements. The bottom closes underneath your dog’s belly via a hook-and-loop closure, so it’ll be easy to take on and off. The leash hole ensures they’re clipped in and ready to go stat. ($20.99+, Amazon)
