Some dogs will not need any type of blankets to protect them from the rain or even cooler weather. Other dogs, however, may need a few extra layers of warmth or dryness. It really depends on the breed and the haircut. If your Standard Poodle has a close cut then he won’t have a lot of fur covering him. He may need a blanket for warmth or a rain coat. When looking at dog blankets, note that the weight or fill refers to the amount of stuffing used in the blanket to provide warmth. If you are looking for a simple rain sheet to keep your pup on a walk then you should look for something with a light weight or fill. A rain sheet or lightweight blanket commonly has a weight or fill with 0g meaning there is no stuffing. A sheet with 150 – 225 g of fill will provide protection and warmth.
