Q: How do I measure for a dog jacket?

We recommend measuring your dog&#39;s girth for the most accurate jacket fit. Simply find the widest part of their rib cage and take a measurement with a soft tape measure. Our size chart translates the girth measurement into the corresponding jacket size (XXS-XL). Learn more about how to measure a dog for a jacket.

Q: How do I measure my dog for a coat?

Ruffwear jackets are a great start for your dog&#39;s camping or backpacking adventure, but there&#39;s more to pack! Keep your pup hydrated with a collapsible bowl and a doggy hydration pack. Pack enough food and consider a backpack with saddlebags or a separate dog pack, along with waste disposal bags for a clean trip. For comfy rest stops, choose from our wide selection of dog beds. To ensure safety, opt for a brightly colored leash or a reflective collar for low-light visibility. Depending on the terrain and temperatures, dog boots might also be a good addition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do dogs actually need a dog sweater or raincoat?

Every dog is different, as is everyone’s definition of cold. Depending on your dog’s fur type and their comfort in cold and wet conditions (you know your dog best!), cold-weather gear like a jacket or dog raincoat can make the difference between getting outside for an adventure and staying home.

Which dog breeds need winter coats?

Short-haired dogs and small dogs often need a little help staying warm in cool to cold conditions. Long-haired dogs can also benefit from a coat if they’re prone to snowballs forming on their underside. If you’re getting outside for a cold-weather pursuit in inclement or winter weather, a jacket can be the difference between your dog joining you for some exploring and staying home.

How else can I keep my dog warm in winter?

While a jacket is a great start, keeping your pup toasty during winter outings requires a multi-pronged approach. Consider dog snow boots to shield their paws from the cold ground and biting ice. You can also provide a cozy, insulated bed to ensure warmth during rest.
