An outing with your dog in cold, wet weather can be unpleasant for your best friend. A warm, waterproof jacket will ensure they remain comfortable, whether they’re outside for a pee break or an extended session at the dog run.

The best raincoats and jackets for humans

Less cute than dog raincoats, but just as important. In our search to find the best ones, we looked for coats that would work for most seasons, allow room for layering underneath, and not overheat on a commute.

One for you, too→

For your winter dog walks

Two closed stick umbrellas and four regular umbrellas of different colors leaning against a pair of black rain boots.

A great umbrella

Trudging through rain is rarely enjoyable, but a good umbrella will reduce the misery, keep you (mostly) dry, and easily stow away when it’s not needed.

A dog poop bag that works every time

When you’re picking up dog poop, the bag needs to be big, sturdy, and flexible enough to do the job cleanly every single time. Our top pick does just that.

The best winter boots

After trudging through snow and ice in 30 pairs of boots, we have favorites that will keep you warm, dry, and stable all winter long.

Plus: It’s almost space heater season

Like curling up next to a roaring fire … minus the roaring fire.

To offset the chill in a drafty room or to give your home’s heating system a little boost, you may need a space heater. Our top pick can warm an entire room faster and more comfortably than other models, while still offering plenty of reliable safety features.
