Frequently Asked Questions
Does my dog actually need a raincoat?
Most dogs with thick double coats (Labradors, Spaniels, Huskies) cope well in the rain without a coat — their undercoat provides natural waterproofing. Dogs that benefit most from a raincoat are: short-coated breeds (Whippets, Greyhounds, Staffordshire Bull Terriers), small breeds who get chilled quickly, dogs with clipped or fine coats, and older dogs who feel the cold more than they used to.
Will my dog tolerate wearing a coat?
Most dogs adjust to wearing a coat within a few sessions. Introduce it at home first — put it on for short periods indoors, reward calmly, and build up wearing time gradually. Avoid forcing it on a reluctant dog in one go. Dogs that resist initially typically accept coats fully within a week of gentle, positive introduction.
How do I put it on without a struggle?
Have a treat ready. Ask your dog to stand, reward them for staying still, and slip the coat on smoothly and quickly. Clip or velcro the fastenings and give immediate praise and a treat. Keep early sessions short and positive — finish before your dog gets restless. Consistency builds tolerance quickly.
How do I get the right fit?
Measure your dog's back length (collar to tail base) and chest girth (widest point behind the front legs). A well-fitted coat should cover the back fully, allow free movement of all four legs, and not restrict the neck or tail. Check that your dog can walk, sniff the ground, and go to the toilet comfortably.
Is a raincoat suitable for cold weather as well?
A lightweight raincoat provides rain protection but minimal warmth. For cold and wet conditions combined, a waterproof fleece-lined coat (such as the Reflective Waterproof Dog Coat) provides both rain protection and insulation in one garment. A lightweight raincoat alone is better suited to milder wet weather.
How do I dry it after a wet walk?
Shake off excess water, then air dry hanging or laid flat. Most lightweight raincoats dry quickly due to the non-absorbent outer material. Avoid radiators or tumble dryers which can damage the waterproof coating. Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle when needed.
