The pug body is like no other—broad chest, skinny legs, thick body (some thicker than others). We pug lovers know that they can be notoriously hard to fit. This is never more true than with winter gear. So, I thought I would share some of the winter coats recommended by pug people. Most are made specifically for pug bodies, or they have special sizing for the broad-chested dogs among us.
If you have a coat you like, feel free to leave the information in the comments. We are always happy to expand our pug wardrobes!
