The hurtta winter coat we have actually has a buckle on it. It goes under and around his chest so it snaps together on the top!
Thanks, I like the idea of the buckle. It looks like it should be a warm coat. It looks like you got a size 20, is that a good fit ? Do you have a male or female dobie ? Preacher is 87 lbs how does that compare to your dogs size ?
I actually had just clicked on a random one, we bought a size 26 for our guy. It fits our guy perfect but that being said he's just over 100lbs and lean. We used this same jacket last year when we was a pup and probably around 70 or 80lb . It was a little bigger then but with the buckle we were able to adjust and roll it to work. This year its perfect size though! They have a sizing chart to help with chest size and length! We love the jacket especially with the buckle that allows for us to adjust the chest size. He's definitely warm in it and I love that it covers a lot of his chest without having to try to put his front arms through anything.
Thanks that helps, I measured Preacher 23 " from base of neck to base of tail. I read a lot of reviews and looked at a lot of pictures. It looked to me like a lot of people bought coats to big. One person said they called the manufacturer for a size recommendation and were advised incorrectly. I'm going to order one of these as soon as I can figure out a size. Someone said Chewy is quick and good about exchanging if needed. I must of been half a sleep when I measured last night, he is 26 on his back with a 35 chest.
We have a couple sweaters but I find them hard to get on and off. I really have to bend his front legs to get through the holes.
I decided to order a 24 and then found out Chewy was out of that size in red. They hope to get restocked within a couple weeks.
Oh no! I have always had good luck with chewy. Hopefully they are back in stock sooner than later and I always find their shipping to be quick!
I could of ordered one from Amazon but it would have cost $13.00 more and doing an exchange wouldn't be as easy as with Chewy. I could of ordered a black one from Chewy but I really like the red on a black dobie. Our weather isn't to bad so I think we will be OK until the first of December. If I have to I will get a black one, need to keep him warm on our daily walks.
I see the 5 star rating but no way I would drop that kind of money on a coat that uses velcro. The coat I'm using now won't hardly stay closed because the velcro is worn out.
Thanks, that really helps confirm the size Preacher needs. I'm curious what color you got ? I'm trying to hold out for red but may end up ordering black. They call it black but in the picture it looks more charcoal grey. I would like to hear from someone that has the black.
Thanks, based on your comment I went a head and ordered black. In the picture it looks grey but says it's black. I would be OK with whatever shade of black it is where as I wouldn't be OK with a shade of red that looks like hot pink.
This is the one we have for Tank. It is 3 years old now and the Velcro is still holding up.
We just received his size 24 black, fits perfect and looks good. We went for our first walk and he didn't pee or poop so I don't know how well it will work in regards to that. That is the only possible problem I can see, looks like it will keep him warm. I don't think I will be using the slot to run the leash through or the leg straps.
