15 Festive Christmas Sweaters for Dogs

Best Dog Christmas SweaterChristmas sweaters for dogs will not only keep them warm, but make your pet look their best during the big family holiday party. But even the best dog Christmas sweater needs to be functional as well. Dogs with thick coats are at risk of overheating when inside, so be sure to dress up only those breeds that can use an extra layer.

Remember to measure your dog and pick the right size, too. If the openings for dog's legs are too tight, or they don't fit correctly, it may chafe, causing pain. If the sweater is too loose, it may get caught on objects or tree branches, becoming a hazard. Your best bet is to follow measuring instructions provided on the product's page.

6Ugly Holiday Sweater for Dogs
by New York Dog

Unlike the five previous sweaters in this list, the pattern in this knitwear was not knitted into it. Instead, the snowman and snowflake pattern on this best Christmas dog sweater from New york Dog is a combined patch-and-embroidery needlework. What’s knitted is the basic blue-and-white stockinette body part with red ribbed neckline and hem. Cute buttons add to the colorful details.

The small size of the New York Dog Ugly Holiday Sweater is recommended for pets with back length of 9”-11”, but you better order at least one size up because these garments run small and shrink slightly after washing. There are four larger sizes to choose from. Plus, you simply have to check the other patterns because they all have their individual appeal. The red wreath design has a jingly bell on it, while the reindeer has pom-poms.

by Candies Closet

9Reindeer Holiday Sweater for Dogs
by Lanyar

We actually did a double take on this sweater from Lanyar because it closely resembles the Blueberry Pet knitwear in number 4, but they’re actually different from each other. The reindeer pattern on the upper part of this best dog Christmas sweater looks similar but it’s distinctly another pattern especially on the lower half. This has sleeves, instead of armholes, and stockinette front, instead of ribbed front.

This best Christmas dog sweater is made of 100% acrylic fiber, very warm and ideal for the forthcoming Christmas holidays. There are six sizes available, and while you do the measurements of body length and chest girth, also take note of your dog’s head circumference since the Lanyar's Reindeer Holiday Sweater for Dogs is a pullover with no front opening. The XS would fit a 5-lb Chihuahua perfectly.

11Dog Snow Sweater
by NACOCO

This is a thick and warm sweater with that old-fashioned charm, highlighted by the snowman with a scarf and embroidered snowflakes on the side. We also think that the deep and chunky ribbing on the collar and hemline of this best dog Christmas sweater from NACOCO add to the charm and coziness of this sweater.

This snowman-style has slits for the forearms, but its snow variation has sleeves. The snow-style has a simpler pattern, but nonetheless attractive. The NACOCO Dog Snow Sweater has thick diagonal red and white lines with falling snowflakes. There are six size options and fits well around the body. The neckline can be a bit wide for dogs with slim neck and shoulder.

 

12Christmas Elk Dog Sweater
by HAPEE

If this sweater looks familiar, that’s because it also comes from HAPEE, the same clothing line that brought us the red-and-white striped knitwear with the smiling Santa applique. This is green-and-white striped knit with embroidered reindeer. What we particularly like about this sweater is its extra-high turtleneck which can be folded down.

There are five size options available and there’s a measurement guide provided. At first, you’d find the HAPEE Pet Clothes the Christmas Elk Dog Sweater a bit snug and would start thinking that you should have ordered one size up. After a few washes, though, you’d notice a slight loosening of this best dog Christmas sweater, so we recommend that you go by the measurements provided.

 

13Reindeer Dog Sweater
by Pupteck

This is an inexpensive sweater that looks so classy with its toned-down color combination and simple reindeer design. What we find cool about this knitwear from Pupteck is the way it uses raglan sleeves instead of just slits or armholes and the usual method of attaching sleeves. It’s not only nice but also more comfortable for your dog.

Pupteck also used double knitting technique with acrylic yarns resulting to a thicker and warmer sweater. The techniques used to make the Pupteck Reindeer Dog Sweater are the same methods often used for human sweaters, and we can’t help but wonder how this can be so inexpensive.

 

14Ugly Christmas Snowflake Style Dog Sweater
by Pupteck

This red Christmas sweater is also from Pupteck and sold at the same price point as the previous one we were so amazed by. This next to last best dog Christmas sweater has a ribbed and contoured armhole instead of the raglan sleeve.

It’s also the first that features a ribbed hem for the raised front part of the sweater. Pupteck really knows how to make small details that stand out.

As in the previous garment, this best dog Christmas sweater is double-knitted, so expect it to be thick and cozy.
