Winter doesn't have to mean sofa and blanket. At Brott Barcelona, we're fans of plans that break the routine, even when it's cold out. Because yes, short days and low temperatures can also be the perfect excuse to enjoy new places, new sensations and new walks with your furry friend.
And if there's one thing we're clear on, it's that style has no seasons. With the right accessories, you can enjoy winter in total comfort, without giving up that touch of design and personality we love so much.
Get ready, because today we're sharing our favourite winter plans with your dog, how to gear up for the cold, and some practical tips so that rain or snow won't hold you back.
Winter getaways with your dog: nature, mountains and plenty of fresh air
When the cold sets in, many of us look for refuge at home… but dogs don't quite see it that way. They still need movement, new smells and long walks. That's why a winter getaway can be the best plan for both of you.
- Mountain trails: forests have a special kind of calm in winter. A light coat, a multi-position leash and a good pair of boots (for you) are the perfect kit. Your dog will love the crisp air, the damp smells and that sense of freedom they adore.
- Dog-friendly country houses: spending a weekend in the mountains or by the sea during low season is a real treat. Many places welcome dogs and have nearby trails perfect for exploring.
- Snow trips: if it's your dog's first time in the snow, get ready for a festival of jumps and sprints! Just remember that, like us, they can get cold too. A waterproof coat and a quick dry-off once you're back will be your best allies.
The trick is to plan outings suited to their energy and size, taking breaks, and always keeping water and snacks on hand.
Urban plans for cold days (because it's not all about the mountains)
Winter can be enjoyed in the city too. Urban walks have their own charm, especially with a good dose of style:
- A pet-friendly terrace crawl: yes, some places prepare snacks and water for dogs. Enjoy a hot coffee while your dog relaxes by your side in their favourite collar.
- Sunset strolls: shorter days give us spectacular sunsets. A walk with a coat and a touch of colour can turn any grey afternoon into something special.
- Visits to markets or urban green spaces: if your dog is sociable, these plans are great for stimulation and quality time together. Just avoid the coldest hours of the day and keep them nice and dry.
And if it rains, no problem: with a waterproof coat and a bit of attitude, even the raindrops become part of the plan.
Practical tips for rainy or snowy days
Rainy or snowy days might seem tricky, but with a little preparation they become really fun experiences.
A few practical tips:
- Waterproof coats: the water-repellent fabric keeps your dog from getting soaked, and the inner lining keeps them warm. After the walk, hang the coat up so it dries properly.
- Avoid slippery areas: especially where there's ice or packed snow. Look for dirt paths or grass, which are safer.
- Look after their paws: road salt and ice can irritate them. Clean their paws when you get home and apply a bit of moisturising cream made for dogs if you notice dryness or cracks.
- Shorten the walk: on very cold days, several short walks are better than one long one.
- Don't forget your own gear: an umbrella, waterproof boots and a practical leash make the walk more comfortable for both of you.
And if the rain won't let up, you can always improvise games at home: a sniffing session, a treat hunt, or even a mini winter photoshoot (which, let's admit it, look cover-worthy in a Brott coat).
How to gear up for the cold (and keep making a style statement)
At Brott, we believe function and design aren't at odds. You can head out well wrapped up, ready for the cold, and still keep your style on every walk.
The Brott winter look:
- Collars with character: our recycled-fabric collars stand up to the cold and keep their colours intact. Plus, our winter prints (like tartan or Cadí) look amazing this time of year.
- Multi-position leashes: if you're one for long trails, you'll love having your hands free or adjusting the length to the terrain. In winter, when we're wearing gloves or holding an umbrella, comfort is everything.
- Comfortable, secure harnesses: walks with a coat on are much nicer when the harness fits well on top and doesn't shift around. And, of course, when it has that touch of design that defines Brott.
- Lightweight extras: avoid accessories that are heavy or soak up water easily. The idea is to move freely, not to carry winter on your back.
Our Brott tip ❤: On cold days, less is more. Choose lightweight garments, made from water-resistant, easy-to-clean materials. And above all, remember that a comfortable dog is a happy dog.
Don't let the cold stop your adventures
At Brott Barcelona, we believe every walk is a chance to enjoy and connect, rain or shine, snow or sun. That's why we design our accessories to last, to protect and, why not, to inspire.
Our collars, harnesses and leashes are crafted from high-quality materials and recycled fabrics, handmade in our Barcelona workshop. They're not just beautiful (which they are) — they're also built to last many winters.
Winter can be the perfect excuse to reconnect with your dog, break the routine, and discover new places together. And if you do it in style, even better.
At Brott Barcelona, we encourage you to live this season with energy, joy and, of course, plenty of design. Because gearing up well isn't just about fashion, it's a way of looking after each other.
So… coat, leash, attitude and let's enjoy winter together! ❤
