Late October walks are the point at which a lot of dogs start shivering at the door, and a knitted layer solves that whether or not anyone in the house cares about Halloween. This one happens to carry an embroidered jack-o-lantern and Halloween lettering on a navy body, finished with bright orange and yellow striped trims, so it does the seasonal photographs and the actual job of keeping a thin-coated dog warm.

It is a pull-on jumper with no clips, poppers or straps to fiddle with. The head goes through first, the front legs follow, and the knit sits along the back and chest without anything digging in. The absence of fastenings matters more than it sounds: buckles and velcro on dog clothing are where the rubbing happens, and a knitted tube has nowhere to chafe. The striped ribbing at the neck and cuffs is what stops it sliding backwards as your dog moves.

• Knitted navy body with an embroidered pumpkin motif
• Halloween lettering across the back
• Orange and yellow striped ribbed trims

• Seven sizes from XXS through to XXL
• Listed weight 32g to 220g depending on size

On sizing. Dog jumpers are sized on back length, measured from the base of the neck to the base of the tail, not on your dog's weight. Two dogs of the same weight can need sizes apart. Check the size guide against a tape measure before ordering, and take the jumper off indoors if your dog is a heavy-coated breed who will overheat in it.

What the options mean. Sizes run from XS to XXL — £9.99 for the smallest, £12.99 for the largest.

Who it's for: Owners of small and medium dogs who want a warm autumn layer with a bit of seasonal character rather than a costume.
