FAQs

Is this dog coat suitable for all seasons?

This coat is primarily designed for wet and windy conditions to provide waterproof and breathable protection. It's suitable for spring, summer, and autumn rain. It does not offer insulation for extreme cold winter weather.

How do I choose the correct size for my dog?

Measure your dog's back length from the base of the neck to the base of the tail, and their torso circumference around the widest part of their chest. Compare these measurements to the product's sizing guide. For example, X-Large fits dogs with a 65cm back length and 75-85cm torso circumference.

Can I machine wash the coat?

Hand washing with mild soap in cool water is recommended to maintain the integrity of the waterproof coating and taped seams. Air dry only; do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Does the coat have a harness hole?

The coat features a button hole at the collar area, specifically designed for lead attachment when using a collar. It does not have a dedicated harness hole for harnesses worn on the back.

What does 'packaway' mean?

'Packaway' means the coat can be folded and stored neatly into its own integrated pocket bag, making it very compact and easy to carry or store when not in use.

Will this coat protect my dog from mud?

Yes, while primarily for rain, the coat's waterproof and durable fabric will also provide a barrier against mud splashes, making cleanup easier for your dog's fur underneath.

Troubleshooting

Coat slips or moves around during wear.

Ensure the adjustable strap is fastened securely but not too tightly. Check if the elasticated hind leg stirrups are properly engaged, as they provide extra stability. Re-measure your dog to confirm the coat size is appropriate.

My dog seems uncomfortable or warm in the coat.

While breathable, ensure your dog isn't overexerting in warm weather. Check the fit; a too-tight coat can restrict movement. The mesh lining aids breathability, but monitor your dog's behavior, especially in humid conditions.

Water seems to be getting through the coat.

Verify that all seams are properly taped and the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is intact. Over time, the DWR finish can wear off; consider re-treating with a suitable DWR spray if necessary. Ensure the coat covers your dog adequately for its size.

Difficulty packing the coat back into its bag.

Ensure the coat is fully dry. Lay the coat flat, fold in the sides, and then roll it tightly from one end towards the integrated pocket bag. Practice makes perfect for efficient packing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Unpack the Coat: Remove the coat from its integrated packaway pocket bag.
  2. Position on Dog: Gently place the coat over your dog's back, ensuring the front edge sits comfortably behind their neck/shoulders.
  3. Secure Strap: Fasten the adjustable strap around your dog's torso, ensuring it's snug but not too tight. You should be able to comfortably slide two fingers under the strap.
  4. Attach Lead (Optional): If using a lead with a collar, locate the button hole near the collar area and thread your lead through it for secure attachment.
  5. Engage Stirrups: Gently guide your dog's hind legs through the elasticated stirrups to help keep the coat from shifting during movement.

Compatibility

This coat is designed to fit a range of dog breeds. For reference, the X-Large size is suitable for breeds such as St Bernard, German Shepherd, and Golden Retriever, with a Back Length of 65cm and Torso Circumference of 75-85cm. Always measure your dog's back length (from the base of the neck to the base of the tail) and torso circumference to ensure the best fit. Info needed: [Provide a full sizing chart if available].

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth or sponge. For heavier soiling, hand wash gently with mild soap in cool water. Do not use bleach or harsh detergents.
  • Drying: Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat or sunlight, before storing. Do not tumble dry.
  • Storage: Once dry, neatly fold or roll the coat and pack it back into its integrated pocket bag for compact and convenient storage. Store in a cool, dry place.
