The Tarn Parka £84 For the dogs who feel the cold: short coats, lean builds, older legs. Quilted, with wide baffles and a ribbed collar.

The Drying Coat £52 Looped cotton towelling for the drive home after the beach or the hill.

Re-measure the back length before you order; it is the one number that changes. If you would rather we did not write, the link at the bottom stops it in one tap.
