Don’t let a little snow get in the way of your dog’s daily outings. Instead, wrap your pooch in one of our coat picks for the 2015/2016 winter season.

Just because your dog is equipped with a built-in fur coat, it doesn’t mean that he’s prepared for the frigid temperatures winter has to throw at him. Snow, slush, wind chill, flurries, squalls and a nasty artic vortex can reduce the furriest pooch into a shivering and chilled canine. Make sure he’s wrapped up before you brave this icy season with any of our picks for Top 10 Winter Coats for Dogs for the 2015/2016 season. Warm, insulated and stylish, these outerwear ensembles will keep your dog toasty until the spring.

Canada Pooch Alaskan Army Parka: No one knows winter like a Canadian… or a Canada Pooch! They’re always on my fave list when it comes to picking out a winter jacket for Oscar. This year, Oscar is sporting the Alaskan Army Parka. When he’s wearing this coat, he’s ready to take on the snow drifts and biting cold winds. That’s because the Alaskan Army Parka is made with a water resistant cotton canvas exterior, filled with faux-down insulation and finished off with Sherpa lining. Plus, it comes with a faux fur lined hood to cover his delicate ears. The Canada Pooch Alaskan Army Parka comes in black, army green and maroon, and ranges in sizes 10-26. Prices start at $42.99.

Up Country Chester Barn Coat: Whether you’re in the country or the city, UpCountry’s Chester Barn Coat is trend-setting and toasty. I love the contrasting wide whale corduroy and snap pockets, and the plaid-lined cotton canvas has plenty of filling for warmth. It’s easy to put on when it’s time to go for a walk, thanks to its Velcro closures and a harness patch. The Up Country Chest Barn Coat comes in green and red, and is available in sizes 8-24. Prices start at $44. ( Up Country)

FouFou Foucler Coat: Who says winter has to be dull? Not the FouFou Foucler Coat! This fashionable, quilted, water resistant parka (complete with a fur trimmed removable hood) shines bright thanks to its faux patent leather finish. The fleece lining and warm filling stands up to cold winters, and it also features a functional pocket and a reinforced Velcro closure with protective flap. The FouFou Foucler Coat comes in Black, Purple, Black, Red, Charcoal, Ocean Blue, and is available in sizes X-Small to 3X-Large. ( FouFou Dog)

L.L. Bean Pet Parka: When the weather outside gets “ruff,” the L.L. Bean Pet Parka lets your pooch get going!

For a perfect fit, this parka comes with an adjustable hook and loop closure at the waist and adjustable chest straps. The L.L.
