Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do outdoor cats need a heated or insulated shelter?
Yes. Outdoor and semi-outdoor cats benefit significantly from an insulated shelter, especially one with a raised base and thermal lining, which helps retain their own body heat through cold nights.
2. Do indoor cats need a cave bed in winter?
Many do. Even indoor cats seek out warm, enclosed spaces as temperatures drop, and a dedicated cave bed gives them somewhere they'll actually use instead of colonising a laundry basket.
3. Does my small dog need a winter coat?
Small dogs, short-haired breeds, puppies, and senior dogs typically benefit most from a winter coat, since they lose body heat faster than larger or thicker-coated breeds.
4. How do I measure my dog for a winter coat?
Measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail for length, and around the widest part of the chest for girth, then check those measurements against each coat's size chart.
5. How often should I brush my cat in winter?
Most cats benefit from brushing at least once a week during winter, with long-haired breeds often needing more frequent brushing to manage a thicker seasonal undercoat.
