As a crazy pug lady (whose pampered pooch has several of his own outfits) this is a feature that I feel over qualified to write. In fact this almost doesn’t feel like work to me. But if you’ve come here looking for the cutest Christmas jumpers for your dog, then you’re in for a treat, because I've sniffed them out for you!
Christmas jumpers are a great way of feeling festive, and there’s no reason why your four-legged friend shouldn’t join in the fun too. Honestly, these cute designs will elevate your Christmas photos to the next level, and they have the added bonus of keeping your dog cosy too during walks if it’s chilly outside.
- The Amazon best-seller: Embroidered Elf Christmas Sweater for dogs
- Best for matching the whole family: JoJo Maman Bébé Red Reindeer Fair Isle Pets Jumper
- Best for Christmas and beyond: Joules Alba Navy Jumper for Dogs
- Most chic Christmas dog jumper: H&M Cable Knit Dog Jumper
- For dogs who refuse to wear clothes: PawfooLab Homemade Christmas Dog Collar
Just be mindful of how your dog is reacting to the jumper. My dog doesn’t mind wearing one at all but some may not appreciate being dressed up, so you might need to put on the jumper for small time frames until they get used to it.
There are some lovely designs that come with matching owner versions too - cuteness overload! Read on for the best Christmas jumpers for dogs to shop now - and there are also a few options for dogs that don’t tolerate jumpers at all… Santa Paws definitely approves!
How we chose the best Christmas jumpers for dogs
- Sizes: Dogs come in all shapes and sizes, so I tried to cater to all breeds in this roundup, from tiny breeds like chihuahuas to bit dogs like German Shepherds.
- Cuteness factor: I mean lets face it, you’re not looking for something chic here, are you? I searched for the designs that will make you go “ahh” and make for instagrammable pictures.
- Comfort: We want our furbabies to be happy while wearing these jumpers, so I looked for designs that are easy to put on and take off and comfortable for the dog to wear.
- Price: Bearing in mind that this is a products that your dog will wear very little, I didn’t include anything really expensive - none of these designs will break the bank.

Your dog might not tolerate wearing this costume for very long, but it is 100% worth the money, even if it’s just for the Christmas Day photographs, or to catch an adorable video to put on Instagram or send to the family.
