Consult the brand's sizing chart, which typically measures back length from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. Ensure a snug but not restrictive fit.
The coat provides lightweight warmth with its 200gsm fill, making it suitable for cool, wet conditions. For extreme cold, additional layering or a heavier-duty coat may be necessary.
Wash the coat as needed when it becomes soiled. Regular washing can help maintain its performance, but avoid excessive washing which can degrade the DWR finish faster.
A 3000mm rating indicates the coat can withstand a certain amount of water pressure before leaking, suitable for moderate rain. A higher rating signifies greater waterproofness.
This rating signifies the amount of water vapor that can pass through the fabric in a 24-hour period per square meter. A higher number means better breathability, helping to prevent your dog from overheating.
The coat features a harness-compatible rubber slot designed for lead attachment to a harness underneath, ensuring a secure connection while keeping rain out. It is not intended for direct lead attachment.
You can purchase specific DWR spray treatments for outdoor gear. Follow the product instructions, typically involving washing and drying the coat, then applying the spray evenly and heat-setting if required.
Ensure all seams are intact. The DWR finish may diminish over time; consider re-applying a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor gear. Check that the harness slot is not compromised.
Adjust the touch-close fastenings to be tighter. Ensure the elasticated leg straps are securely but comfortably in place. For dogs with very slim or unusually shaped bodies, additional strapping might be required depending on activity level.
While breathable, if your dog is very sensitive or exerting themselves heavily in mild temperatures, consider removing the coat. Ensure the fit is not too tight, restricting movement or breathing.
Ensure the touch-close fabric is free from excessive fur or debris. For easier fitting, try securing the chest strap first, then the belly strap.
