FAQ - Dog Coats

Points to Look for When Fitting Your Dog's Coat:

How Can I Tell if My Dog's Coat is Too Big or Too Small?

If the coat hangs loosely off the back, it might be too big. If it doesn't reach the top of the tail, the coat is probably too small. When your dog is between sizes, it’s usually better to go with the smaller size, as a coat that is too big can shift around, potentially causing discomfort or rubbing.

How Should the front of the Coat Fit?

The neck should sit comfortably without being too tight or too loose. Make sure the front straps are adjusted so that the coat covers the shoulders and doesn't pull back. You should be able to slide your hand under the neck area, allowing for ease of movement. If the neck opening is too wide, the coat might slide around, which could lead to discomfort. A correct fitting neck ensures your dog stays warm and protected without compromising movement.

What Does Waterproof and Breathable Mean in Dog Coats?

The weather can change quickly, so having a waterproof and breathable dog coat is essential. Our Swish Dog Waterproof Coat uses high-quality materials that are waterproof and breathable. This means the coat keeps your dog dry in rain and snow, while also allowing moisture and sweat to escape, keeping your dog comfortable. While the material is waterproof, stitching and fastenings may let in small amounts of moisture during heavy rain, but this won’t affect the performance of the coat.

How Should I Care for My Dog's Coat?

Like any piece of clothing, your dog’s coat needs good care. After wearing, hang it to dry in a well-ventilated, dry area. If it gets damp, let it fully air dry before storing it to prevent mold or damage.
