Dog Comfort & Climate

Dogs rarely make a fuss about temperature until it's already a problem — they just pant in the corner, or curl tighter on a cold floor and stiffen up overnight. The market doesn't make it easier: imports built for far colder or milder climates than ours, optimistic safety claims, and one-size designs that ignore how different a Darwin summer and a Tassie winter really are. Sorting the genuinely useful from the noise takes an honest look at what holds up to Australian conditions — not what a label on the box promises.
