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 waterproof, breathable nylon. Full-body hooded suit with reflective strips, 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 waterproof dog rain cape with reflective strip 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: hand wash recommended, air dry
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

Is it machine washable?

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

Which size should I choose?

This model comes in S, M, XL, L, XXL and XXXL. 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.

Does my dog really need a coat?

Short-haired dogs, small breeds and older dogs get cold quickly below 7 to 8 °C. A dog with a thick undercoat doesn't need one.

What is it made of?

Waterproof, breathable nylon. This material determines how to care for it: see the specifications for the right way to wash it.
