Raindrops are falling on my head, but that doesn't mean my Yorkie should be wet... Hey all, So I didn't think I'd need to spend a lot on a raincoat for Shelby - (going on 6 lbs.) - but the XS coat from local big pet shop hiked up into her armpits (sorry, girl, took me a while to realize you weren't being difficult - you just were being forced into that robot action - although the rest of the coat fit just right! You were very patient with me!). The S size dragged on the ground and was totally not practical. So, where should I go (and yes, of course I'll spend more!) to get a lightweight raincoat that will actually fit her and keep her from coming home soaked when we just went around the block? (she's a trouper!) Alec |
I'd suggest some of the toy dog clothing websites. Just Google Yorkie and tiny raincoat or something like that and you should find some. They should be able to fit her if you email or text them her measurements. |
Etsy is a handmade (and vintage) website and have some doggy dresses to die for! The folks on there do a lot of custom work and would use your dogs measurements...I haven't seen rain jackets but I haven't actually looked! I think I will just for fun now :) good luck! |

Im having a problem with raincoat sizing too.......the xs is too short on her back and her whole back end gets wet.......the small is waaaay too wide |
Awesome, Lilah! Thanks - there's a lot to go through (and in Oregon, bet a raincoat is pretty useful - we used to live up in Seattle) Alec and Shelby in RI |
I just bought Katie a Hurrta raincoat. It came today, and we tried it out in a heavy mist. She was dry wherever the coat was. I was lucky that the store I purchased it at was having a sale on the coat during the month of March, but now it's back to full price. I knew the Hurrta coat would be weatherproof. Katie has the Hurrta waterproof fleece jacket, and we love it so much that we decided to get another of the same coat as a spare since it also was on sale. That jacket is very warm and is great in the elements. My husband has also been looking for a rain hat for Katie. Like me, he loves her so much, and really enjoys seeing her in her coats, sweaters, and hoodies. |
Lol I just HAVE to ask this... Why do you walk in the rain?!? I shop and see the raincoats but then think ....I don't need one of those ...I'm not going to be walking in the rain.....lol please forgive me ....struck me funny😆 |

Kidding aside, it's a matter of opportunity - although I work at home there are times when I may only have a 10-minute break between meetings so I can take Shelby at least around the block - and w/o a raincoat I can't walk her if it just happens to be raining a bit then. Also now we're in April there will be days it rains all day. She will walk gamely on when it starts raining during our walks (as I will I, I don't mind it that much) but she gets wet very fast. |

Id be thrilled if I could get them to pee right outside the door like my old dogs used to do, but so far, no luck. |
I have a couple. Come by soon to play and we can see if one fits. |

I got Galen a Martha Stewart rain coat. It fits him great. It even has the back leg straps to keep his back dry |
Ohhhhhhhhh! Ok...that all makes sense! Lol....I'd get one too if I had to get out out in the rain.....not much fun but certainly necessary when you have no choice! Lol |

Sachi looks so precious in her rain gear. I am really happy with the quality of Hurrta's products. Both Katie's raincoat and waterproof fleece jackets keep her dry, and the jacket keeps her warm. I love the zipper up the back in the jacket and the fact that both keep her belly dry, too. |

I measured the way they told me girth is 11" . . length is 9" . . .neck is 8.5-9" . . .leg length is 4" |
This is her Facebook and her website. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Euro-...22459404489503 Hurtta Slush Combat Suit About Us! If you email Katja, she can help with sizing. I just came back from a walk in the rain with Katie the raincoat kept her dry wherever it was, but these overalls would have kept her legs a lot drier. |
I think the 8S would work for Galen. Sachi is 4.5 lbs and 10 inches long, she has the 10S. |
