Winter can be tough on your pup. Just think of all the time they spend outside in the cold. Especially if you’re traveling with your pet to a colder location and they aren’t used to lower temperatures, it’s important to protect your pet from the harsh winter. We’ve selected the best options for winter wear for your dog, illustrated by one of the most famous pups of Instagram, René-Charles (@renecharlesnyc).

René-Charles is the King of Winter Pup Fashion

His boots protect his paws from the cold NYC pavement.

A vest keeps you warm while showing a little leg.

Who doesn’t love a dog scarf?

At the dog park, a sweatshirt is best.

René-Charles just loves a good polo any time of year.

Excuse me, but did you say Argyle?

Hats are good for keeping dogs warm…

But hoods are clearly better.

 If clothing fails, a ride in a nearby bag can keep you warm!

And layering works best if you can include a human coat, too.

After a successful winter outing, warm up with a Puppucino.
