Some pets feel the cold indoors more than they do outside. Old cats, thin-coated small dogs and anything that has recently been clipped short all sit shivering by a radiator in a house that feels fine to you. A full jumper is often more than they will tolerate and more than they need, whereas a knitted neck warmer covers the part a curled-up animal is trying to tuck away anyway.

It slips over the head and sits like a chunky little scarf, finished with a ruffled trim, a gingham bow and a small strawberry motif at the front. There are no buckles, poppers or straps to pinch, which is a large part of why pets accept it. The whole thing weighs fifteen grams, so there is nothing to adjust and nothing to work loose, and the knit is soft enough to be worn on a lap all evening.

One size only, and not a walking collar. This is made in a single average size, which suits cats and small dogs and will not go anywhere near a labrador. It is also a decorative warmth accessory: there is no ring on it, and nothing about a knitted band is safe to attach a lead to. Take it off when your pet is unsupervised, as you would with anything that goes over the head.

Who it's for: Cats and small dogs who feel the cold indoors, and owners who want something charming for the colder months.
