Rain-Proof Coat Size Guide for Dogs

Warm Rain-Proof Dog Coat Size Guide

Measure around the base of your dog’s neck, where the collar usually sits. Be sure that the tape is snug but not too tight, leaving room to fit two fingers underneath.

Measure the broadest part of your dog’s chest, just behind the front legs. This is the key measurement for ensuring the coat fits comfortably around your dog’s body.

Measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail, along the top line of your dog’s back. This will indicate the length of the coat.

If your dog has a stocky build or is heavier than average for its breed, you might want to go up a size for additional comfort, especially in the chest area.

Weatherproof: Crafted from durable, rain-proof material that keeps your dog dry, no matter the weather. Ideal for wet or cold climates.
Thermal Insulation: With added layers, the coat ensures warmth without restricting your dog’s movement, perfect for outdoor activities during colder days.
Adjustable Straps: Most coats come with adjustable Velcro straps to ensure a snug fit around the neck and belly, allowing freedom of movement while still providing coverage.
Reflective Strips: Many dog coats come with reflective details to ensure high visibility during night-time walks.
Easy to Wear: Lightweight and simple design, making it easy to put on and take off, perfect for dogs who aren't used to wearing coats.

Accurate Measurements: Measure your pet carefully around the neck, chest, and back. If the measurements fall between two sizes, it’s better to choose the larger size for comfort and flexibility.
Activity Level Consideration: If your dog is very active, consider selecting a coat with a flexible and stretchy material that will move with them, rather than restricting their motion.
Build and Body Type: For stockier breeds, choose a size with more generous chest room. Additionally, some breeds, like Dachshunds or Bulldogs, may need extra attention to ensure the coat accommodates their particular body shape.

Layering for Cold Weather: If you live in colder climates or your dog tends to get chilly, layering a rain-proof coat with a warm dog sweater or t-shirt may add extra comfort and insulation.
Regular Fitting Check: Ensure the coat is adjusted properly so it doesn’t rub against your dog’s skin or limit their movement. Regularly check for wear and tear, especially after rainy weather or outdoor activities.
Seasonal Consideration: Ideal for fall, winter, and rainy seasons. Not recommended for hot weather.
