FAQs
How do I determine the correct size for my dog?
While this model is designed for standard breeds and the 76cm size is for larger dogs, it's best to measure your dog's back length from the base of the neck to the base of the tail and their girth (around the widest part of the chest). Compare these measurements to the specific sizing chart if provided by the manufacturer.
Is this coat suitable for very cold, snowy conditions?
Yes, the combination of a waterproof exterior and fleece lining provides good insulation and protection against cold and wet weather. For extreme cold, consider adding a layer underneath if your dog is sensitive.
Can the reflective strip be removed?
The reflective strip is typically integrated into the design and is not meant to be removed. It serves an important safety function.
How often should I wash the dog coat?
Wash the coat as needed, typically when it appears visibly dirty or has been exposed to significant moisture or mud. Frequent washing is not necessary and can, over time, affect the waterproof treatment.
What is the expected delivery time?
This product is usually dispatched within 3 working days and delivery within the UK mainland is typically completed in 3-5 working days from the dispatch date.
Is the navy color likely to fade?
Colors can fade over time with repeated washing and sun exposure. Following the care instructions, such as washing in cold water and air drying, can help maintain the color's vibrancy.
Troubleshooting
Coat is not staying securely fastened.
Ensure the adjustable straps are tightened properly. Check for any debris caught in the Velcro or buckles that might prevent a secure closure.
Dog appears uncomfortable or restricted.
Loosen the adjustable straps slightly. Ensure the coat is not too tight around the neck, chest, or belly. Verify the size is appropriate for your dog's body length and girth.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The waterproof coating may be compromised. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing and consider a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for outdoor gear if the issue persists after proper care.
Fleece lining is matted or losing softness.
Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and avoiding high heat during drying. Air drying can help preserve the fleece's texture.
