Dog coat: rainy walks without coming home soaked

A dog that comes home soaked stays chilled for hours, and in an older or arthritic dog that means stiffness the next day. A coat solves this exact problem: keeping the back and lower back dry, where fur takes longest to dry.

Don't confuse waterproof with warm: they're two separate functions, and many models only do one. That's the first filter for our dog coats.

Waterproofing, lining and harness: what to look for

This one is made of heavy-duty waterproof fabric (material not specified). Full-body hooded suit with complete leg protection, see size guide — measure the back length from the withers to the base of the tail; that's the measurement that matters. Check whether there's an opening for the harness clip: without one, you'll have to undress your dog before every walk. In dry, cold weather, a clear hooded dog raincoat for large dogs is enough and gets in the way less.

Measure the back length from withers to tail — this model: see size guide
Look for a harness opening, or you'll have to take everything off before every walk
Let it air dry: easy to hand wash, dries quickly in the open air
Check it covers the lower back: that's where an older dog gets cold
Keep the dog coat for rain and damp cold: it's too warm in dry weather
Check the belly straps after every walk: they loosen when damp

Drying it, washing it, and knowing when to skip it

A coat dries in the open air, never on a radiator or in the tumble dryer: heat destroys the water-repellent finish within a few cycles and the garment turns into blotting paper. A rinse in clean water after salty snow noticeably extends its life.

It isn't needed all year round. On a dog with a thick double coat, it's too warm as soon as the rain stops. For dry cold, a jumper is a better fit and less restrictive.

Something you discover at the first real downpour: the hood. Hardly any dog accepts it — it slips over the eyes and muffles hearing. Choose a model where it detaches, or it ends up cut off with scissors, which ruins the waterproof seam.

FAQ

Does it get in the way when he does his business?

Our models are cut away at the back. If your dog is male, check this in the photos: a cut-out that's too short is the classic flaw.

Which size should I choose?

This model comes in L (4.5-6 kg), M (3.5-4.5 kg), S (2-3.5 kg), XL (6-8 kg), XS (1-2 kg) and XXL (8-10 kg). Go by your pet's measurements — chest girth and back length — rather than their weight: two pets of the same weight don't have the same build. If you're between sizes, choose the larger one.

Is it machine washable?

At 30 °C, inside out, no tumble dryer: heat lifts the waterproof coatings. Hang it up to dry.

What is it made of?

Heavy-duty waterproof fabric (material not specified). This material determines how to care for it: see the specifications for the right way to wash it.
