Winter Essentials for Adventurous Dogs in Victoria & NSW

Keep your dog warm, safe, and adventure-ready this winter

Winter doesn’t mean staying indoors - not for our kind of explorers. But when the temperatures drop, so does your dog's tolerance to cold, wind, and wet conditions - especially in cooler states like Victoria and New South Wales. Here’s what every outdoor-loving dog needs this winter:

1. Insulated Dog Jackets

A water-resistant, insulated coat is a must. Look for breathable, adjustable fits that allow movement without bulk. Ideal for brisk walks in the Dandenongs or misty trails in the Blue Mountains.

2. Dog Boots

Cold pavements and frosty trails can dry or crack paw pads. Rugged boots will protect against grit, salt, and cold terrain. Natural paw balm also helps.

3. Thermal Travel Beds or Blankets

For dogs on the go, a packable, thermal mat helps retain body heat when resting after a long walk. Great for road trips or picnics where the ground’s chilly.

4. High-Visibility Harnesses or Coats

Low light? No worries. Reflective detailing or LED clip-ons make sure your dog’s seen during early morning or evening walks.

5. Hydration is Still Key

Cold air can dehydrate too. Bring a filtered dog bottle or collapsible bowl so your dog stays hydrated on the trail.

Stay Safe, Stay Wild

If you're hiking in areas with unpredictable weather or altitude, pack extra layers for your dog just like you would for yourself.
