FAQs
How do I know what size to buy for my dog?
This coat is designed for Medium Breeds, with a back length of approximately 45cm and a torso circumference of 55-65cm. We recommend measuring your dog's back length (from neck base to tail base) and chest circumference (around the widest part) to ensure the best fit.
Is this coat suitable for all types of weather?
The Regatta Packaway Dog Coat is specifically designed for waterproof and breathable protection in rainy or damp conditions. While it helps keep your dog dry, it is not insulated for extreme cold or snowy weather.
Can I machine wash the dog coat?
Info needed: Specific washing instructions for Isotex coated polyester fabric and DWR finish. To maintain its waterproof properties, it's generally best to use a mild detergent formulated for technical outerwear or simply wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh chemicals.
How do I attach my dog's lead with the coat on?
The coat features a convenient button hole located on the collar area. Simply thread your dog's lead through this hole to connect it to their collar underneath the coat.
Will this coat restrict my dog's movement?
When properly fitted, the adjustable strap and elasticated hind leg stirrups ensure a secure yet comfortable fit that allows for your dog's full range of motion during walks and play.
What does 'packs away into its own handy bag' mean?
This means the coat is designed to fold up neatly into a small integrated pocket (which is part of the coat itself) when not in use. This makes it incredibly compact and easy to carry or store.
Troubleshooting
The coat seems too loose or keeps slipping.
Adjust the torso strap. Make sure it's snug enough to hold the coat securely without restricting your dog's movement. Also, ensure the elasticated hind leg stirrups are properly in place.
My dog appears uncomfortable or restricted.
Double-check the fit. The strap might be too tight, or the hind leg stirrups might be pulling. Loosen the strap slightly and ensure the stirrups are not causing any chafing or discomfort. The coat should allow natural movement.
The coat doesn't seem to be as waterproof as it should be.
Inspect for any tears or damage to the fabric or taped seams. Also, consider if the DWR finish needs reapplication (if allowed by care instructions) after extended use or improper washing. Info needed: Specific guidance on DWR reapplication or recommended cleaning products for waterproof fabric.
I'm having trouble packing the coat into its pocket bag.
Ensure the coat is completely dry. Lay it flat, fold the sides inwards, then roll or fold it tightly from one end towards the integrated pocket bag. Practice makes perfect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & First Use
- Unpack: Remove the coat from its packaway pocket.
