Frequently Asked Questions
Is this coat truly waterproof or just water-resistant?
This coat has a waterproof outer shell designed to repel rain and keep your dog dry in typical UK wet weather conditions. For very heavy, prolonged rain or dogs that swim or wade through deep water, no dog coat provides complete waterproofing — but for everyday UK rain showers and typical winter walks, this coat performs well.
Does the fleece lining make it too warm for mild weather?
The fleece lining provides warmth suited to autumn and winter temperatures (approximately 0–12°C). For milder weather or warmer climates, a lightweight waterproof layer without insulation would be more appropriate. This coat is primarily a cold-weather all-rounder for the UK autumn and winter months.
Will my dog overheat wearing this coat?
Dogs can overheat if exercising heavily in a coat, particularly on warmer days. Remove the coat during vigorous play or if you notice your dog panting excessively. This coat is best suited to slower-paced winter walks and for short periods in cold, wet conditions rather than during intense exercise.
How do reflective strips help on UK walks?
From October to March, many UK dog walkers are out in the dark — before 8am or after 4pm. The reflective strips catch car headlights and street lighting from a significant distance, making your dog visible to drivers and cyclists in low-light conditions. This is an important passive safety feature rather than just a decorative one.
How do I measure my dog for the right size?
You'll need two measurements: back length (from the base of the neck/collar to the base of the tail) and chest girth (circumference at the widest point of the chest, just behind the front legs). Cross-reference both measurements with the size guide on the listing — chest girth is often the critical fit factor.
How do I clean it?
Machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle (30°C maximum). Do not tumble dry — high heat can delaminate the waterproof coating and damage the fleece lining. Air dry fully before storing or reusing. Regular washing maintains hygiene and helps preserve the waterproof performance of the outer shell.
