Winter Coat Question ?

[C908]

What do the leg straps have to do with being neutered or not? I'm not sure how that could affect the straps at all, and my male is intact too LOL

My male is very high energy and he runs around all the time... even with other dogs and no problems with the jacket! Maybe it's too big for him?

It looked to me the straps were interfering with his testicles maybe I'm mistaking. The size should be right I measured and checked with several others that have this coat. I went with size 24 which appears to be plenty big. I know one person tried 3 different sizes and found the 24 to fit the best. There was another person with a tall 100 pound lean dobie that did go with a size 26.

I'm having second thoughts about this coat after using it a second time. It kept shifting to the right which was very aggravating. I think I remember reading a review where someone had this same complaint. I may have to go back to square one and find a different style. View attachment 102947

It's hard to see how the front is on yours. Buddy's has one large piece that goes from under the neck, to under the chest and then around his underside and comes up to buckle on top. I think that holds it all in place quite well.

Preachers coat fastens the same way you mentioned. He wore it again today and there was no problem since he was on his short leash. I'll see how it works next time he is on the retractable.

Oh I see what you mean, gotcha! I'd tighten the leg straps and see how that helps? It won't hurt his testicles - mine isn't altered either and his are snug. He also runs around like a maniac and its set in place!

Update this thread with how you make out from now on. I actually just ordered a coat from Etsy should be here before Christmas. Ill be sure to post a detailed review after a few uses. Im hoping I don’t have an issue with the velcro, but of all the reviews from dobie owners I haven’t seen anything negative.

If this jacket works for you ill probably pick on of these up also. But I don’t want it sliding around all the time. Im sure Jasper will beat the hell out of it.
