‘Tis the season for warmth, warmth, warmth! Not only do we mere mortals have to bundle up to keep bitter winds and nasty chills at bay, but so too do our furry sidekicks. Rory was thrilled to receive a darling dog puffer jacket and dog sweater from the new and oh-so stylish canine apparel company, American Digs and here is our pawsh review of each piece with a few candid photos. (Hooray for reviews!)

We’ll begin with the dog puffer coat. Despite its name this garment isn’t overly puffy and thus very easy to slip on and off your wriggling pooch. Rather than taking a ‘slip on over the head’ approach to clothing, this piece instead offers a nifty Velcro fastener that closes up along your dog’s belly — like a human coat.

The rich fleece and quilted micro-fibre shell provides a snuggly blanket of warmth and the exterior is waterproof! Anybody who has a dog that loves to go crazy in the snow and comes back inside drenched will definitely appreciate this jacket. The precise tailoring and bold colours are also delightful qualities, as is the convenient ‘harness hole.’ This coat is practical, modern and memorable.

Next up the beautifully soft Nantucket knit dog sweater. Rory was as pleased as punch to sport this design in pink and as she pranced around the house in it I kept imagining her singing, “I feel pretty, so pretty,” to herself. This dog sweater is lightweight, so although providing a bit of extra warmth (especially to short haired dogs), it wouldn’t be the best choice to wear for a long walk in -30 degrees.

However, for those damp days or quick jaunts outside to collect the mail, this garment would be ideal! It is also light enough to wear for some stylish indoor lounging. In fact, we’re pretty sure Rory will be wearing this to at least one holiday party this year. Machine washable, easy to move around in and soft to the touch, this sweater is as charming as it is adorable.

Be sure to drop by American Digs’ website to see even more sweet canine clothes that are both fun and functional. While you do that, Rory will be busy playing outside, snug as a bug in a fabulous coat that acts like a hug!
