Why is a dog coat useful for my dog?
Dog coats don’t just serve as fashion accessories. They are useful for many reasons. For example, we have dog coats that keep your dog warm on cold winter days and raincoats to keep your four-legged friend dry. Are you going for a walk in the evening? Then we recommend our reflective coat to make you more visible in traffic.
At what temperature does a dog need a coat?
If the temperature drops below 4 degrees Celsius, your dog will definitely benefit from wearing a dog coat. Even if your dog has a thick coat and long hair. Small or thin-furred breeds, puppies, and senior dogs will generally need a winter coat sooner than this.
How can I tell if my dog is cold? Your dog will often start shivering or shaking or have a Hunched posture with a tucked tail. Change in behavior or excessive whining could also indicate that your dog is feeling cold.
What size dog coat do I need?
When buying a coat for your dog, choosing the right size is important. Always measure your dog before buying a coat. You measure the length from the collar to the base of the tail. Consult our size guide to determine the right size for your dog.
Dog coats should always cover the body from the neck to the beginning of the tail. Freedom of movement must not be compromised.
How do I get my dog used to a coat?
A coat takes some getting used to at first. So put the coat on the ground first and let your dog sniff it. Make your dog comfortable by rewarding it as soon as the coat is on its back. If your dog is calm, don’t forget to reward it. Let it grow accustomed to the coat slowly and start with 10 to 60 seconds, for example. If all is going well, you can increase the length of time and go outside as soon as it rains, is windy or cold. Thanks to Kentucky Dogwear, you are always assured of a comfortable dog coat!
