California Labradoodle Moves To Minnesota

The Hurtta® Expedition Parka will keep your dog warm in cold winter weather

Last fall, we made a quick decision to leave California and relocate to Minnesota. One of our first concerns was how our 7-year-old labradoodle would handle the transition to winter and immediately started searching for a winter parka. We’d typically kept his coat moderately short with monthly trips to the groomer but decided it made good sense to let him start growing out his own natural winter coat.

With his hair/fur now grown out, we knew he would be okay at temperatures around the freezing mark, but what would happen when the weather started getting down to zero degrees and below?!

Enter the Hurtta Expedition Parka! This stylish parka is well-insulated and extremely easy to put on and take off. After several months of sub-freezing weather, I can confirm that this parka has kept our sweet dog extremely comfortable, even with temps reaching -20 Fahrenheit (yes, that’s 20 degrees BELOW zero!).
