Both dog experts and beginners looking for of their first puppy know that even with their fur, man's best friend suffers from the cold just as much as we do. A fact doubly true in the United Kingdom, the birthplace of Barbour where the relationship between man and dog is even closer than elsewhere thanks to the ancient tradition of field sports. Indeed, in British countryside culture, the dog is the indispensable helper of hunters and shepherds, and hounds are traditionally the inhabitants of honour in the great country houses.
Outdoors in the countryside—whether in the Scottish Highlands or in the woodlands and forests around Dorchester in Dorset—the weather can be unpredictable, with cold gusts of wind and sudden icy downpours. That’s why Barbour has created the Barbour Dogs line of accessories, designed to offer dogs the same protection that Barbour jackets have always given their owners. Many dogs, especially small or short-haired breeds, suffer in the harsh English climate during the autumn and winter months. To meet their needs, Barbour has reimagined its most iconic products as dog accessories: waterproof wax jackets and quilted coats, complete with the brand’s signature corduroy collar.
These coats are enriched with functional details inspired by Barbour’s heritage, such as Velcro closures and adjustable straps that fasten under the dog’s body for a secure, comfortable fit. Among the most practical pieces are the Fair Isle sweaters, adapted to suit small and medium-sized dogs. They provide warmth indoors against draughts, or an extra protective layer when the temperature drops.
Running through the entire collection is the iconic Barbour tartan, available in different colourways, featured on beds, blankets, leads and harnesses. Completing the range are wash bags, grooming products, and durable bite-proof toys.
