Regatta Packaway Dog Coat - Navy Blue

You should measure your dog's back length (from the base of the neck to the base of the tail) and their torso circumference (around the widest part of their chest). Compare these measurements to the size guide provided, specifically the 55cm back length and 65-75cm torso circumference for breeds like Large Breed, Standard Poodle, Labrador, and Springer Spaniel.

This coat is specifically designed for waterproof and breathable protection against rain and wind. It does not provide significant insulation for cold weather. For warmth in colder temperatures, you may need to layer it over a sweater or fleece.

For light dirt, wipe the coat down with a damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning: Info needed: Specific washing instructions (e.g., machine washable, hand wash, temperature) are generally found on the product's care label. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can damage the waterproof finish. Always air dry completely.

Yes, the coat features a buttonhole near the collar for lead attachment when using a collar. If your dog wears a harness, it can generally be worn underneath the coat. You may need to adjust the harness to sit comfortably under the fabric.

The 'packaway' feature means the coat can be neatly folded and stored into its own integrated pocket bag, which is usually part of the coat itself. This makes it very compact and easy to carry or store in a bag or car.

The coat is made from durable Isotex coated polyester fabric with taped seams and a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, designed to withstand outdoor use and provide reliable protection. Proper care will help extend its lifespan.

The Isotex fabric is not only waterproof but also breathable, and the coat features a polyester mesh lining. This design helps to keep your dog fresh and prevents overheating during activity, even while protected from rain.

Adjust the strap around your dog's torso to a snugger fit. Ensure the elasticated hind leg stirrups are properly used, as they provide additional stability. Double-check your dog's measurements against the size guide to confirm you have the correct size.

Loosen the adjustable strap slightly to ensure it's not too tight. Check that the hind leg stirrups are not pulling uncomfortably. Some dogs need time to adapt to wearing a coat; try short sessions first. If discomfort persists, the coat size may be incorrect for your dog's unique build.

While the coat is waterproof and has taped seams, check for any tears or damage. Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish can wear off. Consider using a DWR re-proofing spray designed for outdoor fabrics to restore its water-shedding properties. Ensure the coat is clean, as dirt can impair DWR performance.

Ensure the coat is completely dry. Lay the coat flat and fold it neatly into a compact shape that matches the dimensions of the internal pocket bag. Start by folding sides inwards, then roll or fold from one end (e.g., collar to tail) towards the pocket bag, then gently stuff into the bag.
