Frequently asked questions

What measurements fit a dog coat or sweater?
Back length from neck to tail base, chest girth, and sometimes neck size determine the size chart match. Measure on a standing dog with a soft tape.
Why does my dog's coat size not match their harness size?
Brands use different charts. Always compare your measurements to the specific brand table, not only S, M, L labels.
Do double-coated breeds need coats?
Many northern breeds overheat in thick sweaters. Use coats for short-haired, elderly, or clipped dogs in cold rain or snow, not as default for all dogs.
When is cold weather a health emergency?
Shivering, whining, or lifting paws in winter mean go inside. Hypothermia and frostbite need immediate vet care for small or thin-coated dogs.
