Jo’s Pet Sizing Tip 💜

Please measure your dog before ordering—do not choose a size using weight or breed alone.

Measure:

1. Chest: Around the widest part of the ribcage, just behind the front legs.

2. Neck: Around the base of the neck where the coat will sit.

3. Back: From the base of the neck to the base of the tail.

Use the chest measurement first, followed by the neck and back length. If your dog falls between two sizes, choose the larger size for additional comfort and movement.

Greyhounds, Whippets and similar breeds often have deep chests, narrow waists and longer backs. Customer feedback suggests some Greyhounds may require 5XL or 6XL, but measuring your individual dog is essential.

Allow for approximately 1–2 cm of manual measurement variation.

Size Guide

Please note: The full coat length includes the extended sections of the garment and is different from the back measurement used when fitting your dog.

Designed for Cold, Wet and Darker Days

Larger dogs can feel the cold too—particularly older dogs, short-haired breeds and dogs with lower body fat.

The fleece lining provides an insulating layer, while the outer fabric helps protect against wet and windy conditions. Reflective detailing catches light from vehicle headlights and torches, helping your dog remain easier to see on low-light walks.

Reflective material improves visibility but does not produce its own light. For very dark walks, combine the coat with a suitable LED light or reflective lead and always supervise your dog near roads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this dog coat waterproof?

The polyester outer is designed to help protect against rain and wet winter conditions. It is suitable for everyday walks but should not be treated as specialist equipment for prolonged exposure to extreme weather.

Is the coat suitable for Greyhounds and Whippets?

It may suit Greyhounds, Whippets and similar long-bodied breeds, but their proportions can vary considerably. Measure the chest, neck and back carefully rather than ordering by breed or weight. Some customer feedback suggests 5XL or 6XL for adult Greyhounds.

Does the reflective detail light up?

No. The reflective detailing returns light from sources such as headlights and torches. It does not contain batteries and does not illuminate by itself.

Is it suitable for short-haired dogs?

Yes. The soft fleece lining may be particularly helpful for short-haired dogs that feel the cold, provided you choose the correct size.

Will it restrict my dog’s legs?

The sleeveless cut is designed to leave the front and rear legs free for natural movement. The coat should fit securely without pulling tightly around the chest or neck.

How should the coat fit?

You should be able to slide approximately two fingers comfortably beneath the coat. It should cover the back without pressing into the neck, rubbing behind the legs or restricting movement.

What should I do if my dog is between sizes?

Choose the larger size, especially if your dog has a deep chest, thick coat or broad build. Use the adjustable fastening to refine the fit.

Can my dog wear it indoors?

This coat is intended primarily for outdoor cold-weather use. Remove it indoors if your dog becomes warm, starts panting or appears uncomfortable.
