Turtle Top Quilt
The lightest and warmest dog sleep solution! Made for your dog in our Maryland studio with responsibly sourced premium down. Attaches to your dog with an integral PJ harness so the quilt stays with your dog when they get up and spin in the middle of the night. *Scroll to the bottom of this page for complete product specs.
I am not rushing any orders. I carry no inventory. When you place your order, you go into the line, with many people ahead of you. Thank you for your patience.

Confirmation Email: many gmail users are emailing us that they can't find their order confirmation email. ***Please check your spam and promotions folders. The subject line will be "order #______" And the email will send directly after you make your purchase.***
Sizing:
We have listed our "standard" small, medium and large sizes. However, we can custom size any quilt. Order the quilt thickness and width that you need (S: 28" M: 34" L: 40") and if your dog's back is a couple inches shorter or longer than the "collar to base of tail" length, please leave your custom measurement in the "order notes." If you have a small dog with a floor to spine height of less than 17", please order a small and email Marie so we can figure out the quilt width.
***Zero-Waste Campaign: there's a 50% chance that your quilt will be piece constructed from off cuts that we save instead of throwing away. We are mindful of keeping fabric out of the land-fill. If we piece-work your quilt, it will have one to two seams on the surface, where we pieced together off-cuts to create the overall blank. This does not at all effect the durability. (zoom in on product photos to see some examples)
Color Scheme: "Turtle"- Pea Green on top with Dark Olive underneath. Your choice of underharness fabric.
Shipping (USA): USPS Priority $10 for single item; Canada via DHL $42
1. Fold a towel or sheet to the overall dimensions of the size you think you need. Place the towel over your dog, while they are standing, and cover their head. The folded towel should go from tip of nose to base of tail.
2. If there is not enough coverage, or too much coverage: measure your dog from their collar to their base of tail. Cross reference your measurement with what's listed in the grid.
3. Double check that their neck and chest circumference fall into the range listed on the grid.
4. Leave me any measurements that fall outside of the standard grid specs, in the order notes (If you email me this info, I will not remember it at time of construction.) I need these measurements in the order notes: chest circumference, neck circumference, nose to collar, collar to base of tail

There are tiny buckles to clip up the quilt into a jacket configuration. (The quilt's primary design function is as a sleeping quilt: the tiny clips help reduce the size of a quilt, but the quilt is not a form-fitting jacket.) Comes with stuff sack. Use of a sleeping pad (like a z-rest) is recommended to insulate your dog from the ground in cold weather. A z-rest is required in below-freezing temps.
1.5" thick is good for down to 30 degree tent camping for a short-hair. The Shoulder Season quilt is sewn with a stitch-thru grid pattern.
3" inch thick baffled quilt is great for tent camping with a short-haired dog in below freezing temperatures. The baffles create dimension throughout the width of the quilt so that there are no cold-spots. In other words, the quilt has dimensional loft throughout, making The Winter Turtle TQ the only below-freezing ultralight sleep solution on the market made specifically for dogs.
Please note that the intended use of this product is for wearing in the tent at night or as a jacket when above tree-line. Some customers do use the quilt as a jacket while hiking but extra care should be taken to prevent brush-snags. The goal of this product is to make the lightest, warmest dog sleep solution and materials are not intended for harsh off-leash wear.
Despite popular belief, down is a highly washable material! Seasonal washing will restore the loft (warmth) of your down gear. Use a front-loader (make sure the washer DOES'NT have a center agitator). Just wash with a small amount of detergent or down-soap, do a double rinse cycle, and dry on low for as long as it takes to fully dry, then store in a cotton pillowcase. Skip the tennis balls in the dryer- this product is small enough, you don't need them!
