SMALL BREED DOG COATS FAQ

How do I measure my dog for the right coat size?

To measure your dog for a coat, use a flexible tape measure. Start at the base of the neck and measure along the spine to the base of the tail. For chest size, measure the widest part of your dog's chest, usually just behind the front legs. Refer to our size chart to find the perfect fit for your furry friend.

How do I choose the right size coat for my large dog?

To find the right size coat for a large dog, measure from the base of their neck to the base of their tail (the topline). For breeds like German Shepherds or large Retrievers, look for coats in the XL (64-72cm topline) or GSD (72-84cm topline) range. Always check the manufacturer's size guide, as sizes can vary between brands. Ensure the coat allows for comfortable movement and isn't too tight around the chest or legs.

Are your dog coats waterproof?

Yes, many of our dog coats are waterproof. We use high-quality, water-resistant materials to keep your dog dry during rainy walks. Look for coats labeled as "waterproof" or "water-resistant" in the product description for the best protection against wet weather.

How often should I wash my dog's coat?

The frequency of washing depends on how often the coat is worn and how dirty it gets. Generally, we recommend washing your dog's coat every 2-4 weeks of regular use. Always follow the care instructions on the label to maintain the coat's quality and waterproofing properties.

Do large dog breeds really need coats in winter?

While many large breeds have thick fur, some may still benefit from a coat, especially in extreme cold or wet conditions. Factors like age, health, and coat type play a role. Short-haired large breeds like Greyhounds or Dobermans, and senior dogs or those with health issues, may need the extra warmth a coat provides during winter walks.
