Merino is one of nature’s
greatest gifts, endowed with remarkable properties by
Mother Nature and the sheep’s need to adapt to the
extreme conditions of their high-altitude environment.
Made from 100% New Zealand merino, one of our favourite
natural fibres, the Ice-Barker takes the wolf in
sheep’s clothing to a whole new level. The jacket is
soft, warm, lightweight, comfortable and easy to care
for.
The Ice-Barker is a good choice for senior,
thin-skinned or fine-coated dogs, or if the jacket is to
be worn for long periods of time e.g. overnight, at
rest, on walkies in cool, dry weather, or after swimming
in cool conditions.

ABOUT MERINO –
Always Toasty, Seldom
Stinky
New Zealand merino wool is one of nature’s greatest
gifts. Grown at high altitude, Merino fiber is lighter than
traditional wool, is soft, easy to wear and care for, and
its natural odor suppressing qualities are legendary. Our
felted merino used in the Ice-Barker and Snoodle have a
moderate level of water resistance and continue to insulate
even when damp.
