Dogs lose heat through the throat and the front of the chest faster than anywhere else, which is exactly where most jumpers give up and leave a gap. The rolled turtleneck here carries the knit right up the neck, and the pattern — snowflakes over a bone stripe — reads as winter rather than strictly Christmas, so it does not have to be put away on Boxing Day.

It is a wool knit, offered in green or blue instead of the usual red. Wool is genuinely warm and keeps some of that warmth even when damp, which is more than acrylic manages, but it also felts and shrinks in a hot wash. Cool water, no tumble drying, and dried flat rather than hung on a line, or the back length will come out two sizes shorter than it went in.

• Wool knit with a rolled turtleneck collar
• Snowflake motif over a bone stripe
• Two colourways: green (MYD87) or blue (MYD88)
• Sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL
• Unisex cut
• One jumper per pack

Check the measurement first. The maker names five sizes but publishes no centimetre figures against any of them, so we would rather check than guess. Measure back length from collar to tail base and chest girth behind the front legs, send them over, and we will tell you which size fits — or tell you honestly that none of them will.

Who it's for: Small and medium dogs who feel the cold, and owners who are tired of every winter jumper on the market being red.
