Looking for a coat to keep my boxer warm in the winter months so he can play outside with the kids. Would this coat meet that need?

It's ok, the coat is a little stiff for exercise. I'm looking for a sweater to replace this coat for my active Cattle Dog.

Bought this for my Bulldog. He does not like wearing it. The material is pretty rigid. Doesn't feel like it would be comfortable.

This has worked good because it is not real thick, blocks the wind and rain. It holds up in washing in washing machine. Our temperature stays around 35 degrees in the winter, so it works out great!

My dog loves her's and she is short haired like a boxer (at least I think she does, she hasn't really said).... She isn't a fan of the wind and this coat is a great wind block. It doesn't seem to impede her exercise since she comes in all covered in leaves, etc. from her jaunts through the woods.

This is a great coat, especially for when it's raining or snowing. It's easy to take off and put on. The only recommendation that I would make is when it freezing out side but dry use a sweater type that covers more and is warmer. But all in all this a great coat.

This coat should be big enough. I have two large golden retriever's and the coat's are a bit big. The midsection width is ~26in and the middle length is 24in.

The coat fits my 7yrold to about the knees but the liner seems to keep him warm enough.

We live near Pittsburgh, PA. It gets cold very cold here some times in the single digits. When I used it for my granddaughter I never put anything underneath it, just the clothes she was wearing. I loved this for my granddaughter. I think you would be fine and wouldn't be disappointed in your purchase. If you are out for long periods of times like taking a walk ... I think you would need something else, but just going from your house to your car or your care into stores or taking to sitters you will be fine or even walking a few blocks. It is very warm inside.

I am not sure since this is my first dealing with this product. I know for my dog it has worked very well. I am fairly sure that when winter comes I will have to taking it off because of the chance of it freezing.

We live in Norway, & it certainly gets cold there. We have two of these (toddler size) on our double stroller in the winter. It fit pretty snugly around our baby, so we didn't bundle him up too much underneath (mostly like the other commenters said), but we did still have our two year old wear a coat- mostly because he stuck out more from the top of the bundleme, and he wanted to move around more. If you are using this in a carseat, I definitely wouldn't use a jacket under it as the baby would more easily get overheated with it on & with the heated car (& sun shining in). Hope that helps.

I think that will not be a problem. The fabric is pretty sturdy and when an outdoor dog run and play, their nails get somewhat of a trim on the cement or when they are digging. Go for it they will love it and keep them of the cold/wet ground.

I'd say it would work very well. Just put a shirt on first because it get really cold!

There are 2 velcro straps; one under the neck area and one under the belly. My dog has a very lean build so the fit under the neck is too big when I fasten it. I am going to extend the soft part of the velcro so it fits snugger. I really think for most dogs the fit would work just fine. I really like this coat a lot for my dog and he seems to like it as well. Its very easy to put on him and the fleece lining is great for warmth.

Yes, but I would still dress my child in a heavy coat underneath, as the hoodie is warm but not thick

Yeah, go ahead and try the XL. I have a 7 pound boxer and it fits him just fine. If not, I'm pretty sure they would allow a return.

Get the medium. That way you can add layers under if you need to in winter.

I bought an xxl for a greyhound - he has a big chest and long back. He has plenty of room. The velcro straps are long to allow for different sizes. The coat is very well made, good coverage and good deal. I hope this helps!

The jacket is lined with a thin reflective material to give it warmth. It is fitted. I wear a medium and it is a snug fit. No room for extra clothing underneath.

It's probably perfect for commuting since it's very warm but not bulky like most Down coats. I wear it outdoors until its below zero then you need something warm underneath it.

I think it would be great. They make one similar that has a warm lining it it though. Maybe you can just buy the lining.

Long coat does seem to matter. I just trim the coat where the prongs of the bark collar go. That works for my dog.
