Dog Hat

Our dog hat collection brings together winter hats, knitted beanies, trapper hats, baseball caps, festive hats and protective helmets and goggles for dogs of every size. It is made for owners who want to keep ears warm on cold walks, add shade on sunny days or dress up for a birthday or holiday photo. For knitted styles only, browse our dog beanies.

How to choose the right dog hat

Purpose: Decide first between warmth, sun protection, safety or fun. Fleece and wool hats target winter walks, caps give shade, and helmets are built for rides and sports.
Ear design: Some dogs dislike covered ears. The Dog Winter Hats With Ear Holes let ears stay free, while the Knitted Dog Snood covers the head, ears and neck completely.
Secure fit: Look for chin straps, ties or elastic. The Warm Dog Beanie uses a braided rope with tassels to stay in place, and the helmets use adjustable straps.
Material: Fleece, knitted cotton, acrylic, wool and PU leather all feature in this range. Choose soft knits for sensitive dogs and PU leather for a sturdier outer layer.
Dog size and breed: The Knitted Dog Snood is designed for medium and large breeds such as Labradors and Huskies, while the Whippet Dog Hat is shaped for Whippets and other medium dogs.

Sizing and fit

Measure the head circumference just in front of the ears and the neck girth where a collar sits. Compare the numbers with the size chart on each product page, for example the Dog Winter Hats With Ear Holes run from S (head 33 to 41 cm) to L (head 53 to 61 cm). You should be able to slide two fingers under any strap. If your dog is between sizes, pick the larger one.

Dog hat FAQ

Do dogs need a hat in winter?

Many dogs do fine without a hat, but small, short-coated and thin-eared dogs can lose heat quickly in the cold. A dog winter hat or snood helps keep the ears and head warm on walks. Watch for shivering and shorten outings in very cold weather.

How do I get my dog to wear a hat?

Let your dog sniff the hat first, then place it on for a few seconds and reward calm behavior with a treat. Increase the time gradually over several days. A dog hat should never be left on an unsupervised dog.

Are dog helmets meant for motorcycle or bike rides?

The dog helmets in this collection are designed for outdoor activities such as bike and motorcycle rides, with adjustable straps and ventilation holes. A dog helmet adds a layer of protection, but a secure carrier or harness system is still needed for the ride itself.

How do I wash a knitted dog hat?

Follow the care guidance on the product page. As a general rule, knitted and fleece dog hats keep their shape better when washed gently in cool water and dried flat.
