The everyday annoyance with dog coats is the lead. Put the harness over the coat and the coat rides up and twists; put it underneath and you cannot reach the clip. A jacket with a reinforced opening solves it — the harness sits against the dog where it belongs, and the lead comes through the coat.
Key Benefits
- Reinforced lead opening, so the harness sits under the coat
- Coat stays put instead of twisting around the harness
- Proper waterproof outer with a lined inner
- Adjustable at the chest and belly for a real fit
Best For
- Daily winter walking in genuine rain
- Dogs that wear a harness on every walk
- Owners tired of coats rotating halfway round the dog
How It Works
A slot through the back panel, reinforced so it does not tear, lines up with a harness ring underneath. Because the coat is no longer trapped under webbing, it can sit and move as it was cut to.
Pros and Cons
Pros: Fixes a real daily irritation, and being lined it is warm as well as waterproof, which the thin shells are not.
Cons: The opening has to line up with your particular harness, and there is no standard — a harness with a low or forward ring may not reach the slot at all. It is heavier and slower to dry than a plastic shell, so a soaked coat is still damp the next morning unless you hang it properly. The most expensive item in this group by some way, which only makes sense if the dog is walked in rain most days.
Things to Consider
- Check your harness ring position lines up before ordering
- Hang it to dry after every wet walk; lined coats stay damp for a day
- Prices, availability and shipping times are set by the AliExpress seller and can change
