Exceptional house coat for a VID (very important Dog)
352118
This is my very first amazon review - it takes a lot to make me gush lol. Due to spring being a no show this year, this purchase was made for my son's newly acquired service dog. The dog loves this blanket, and so do I. The minute I put it on him he leaned in and gave me a big hug. Then he laid down, closed his eyes, and gave a big sigh. It is exceptionally beautiful on him, also well constructed. The only improvement you might want to consider is making one additional size larger. As a Labernese, his chest circumference is 39", both velcro pieces are at their maximum and it is just a tad bit short for his back. Other than that it is absolutely perfect.

Update - Due to the quality of this item we purchased a second blanket for our family's clown dog, a seven pound miniature pinscher. Equally adorable. Not nearly so dignified as the gentle giant, but exceptional and snazzy in her own unique little way.

Best dog coat ever!

Rain, snow, or bone-chilling cold, my hound willingly goes outside in cold or blustery weather with this coat, when he'd rather "hold it" and stay indoors without it!

It is bulky, fluffy, warm, uber-durable, easy to wear, and as weather-resistant as a horse blanket!  The high collar works great in nasty weather (up to the ears), while folding back in fair cold weather to look stylish.  The reflective silver stripes make for great dim-light or night safety.

While it doesn't seem fashionable like those cutesy fleece pet-wraps, it actually looks ruggedly-handsome, like a rancher wearing a great shearling leather jacket!  Yes, a toy dog would be overwhelmed, but standard dogs will look great and proud in their winter overcoat!

Perfect for my short-haired, lean hound who needs great protection from harsh winter weather outdoors!

Would definitely buy another, if I had more than one dog at a time!  I expect this one will out-serve a couple dog's lifetimes.

The coat is warm and super cute.  Also nice that he doesn't get the coat wet underneath when using his potty pad...some dog coats are too low or far back, but this one is cut well around the stomach area.  The only flaw is that his little legs bow out a little in front because the sleeves are a little too thick and go a little too far down on his legs.  Other than that, this is a great coat for looks and warmth!

This very cute fleece vest far exceeded my expectations.  I've always thought clothing on dogs was just plain dumb, and felt sorry for the dogs.  Of all the various small dogs that I've owned, this one is  undeterred by bitter cold, torrential rain or deep snow .  But the years of clean up after walks in rain and snow drying off, mopping up, washing up soaked towels,  soggy bedding and all the grass and stuff that sticks to the under belly of small long haired dogs finally got to me.  I thought a coat might help reduce mess.

This was a great choice.  It works pretty darned well.  I especially like the vest design which protects the belly and prevents stuff from the yard and woods getting stuck in her fur.  Uncertain as to size, I visited the RC Pet Products web site and found their instructions for measuring.  Tibetan Spaniels have a bit of a  lion mane around their necks and are somewhat longer in the body slightly larger than a big house cat. The 14  fits Keeper well. This is very nicely made and has generous velcro to adjust the fastening.  Getting in is easy.  This is double sided with a nice quality thick fleece but there's no  insulating material in between layers and it's NOT totally water proof.  If this gets wet during walks the inner layer tends to still be dry though.  I hang this to dry by a heating duct and it's ready quickly by the next walk.  It's easy to wash.

That's good for Keeper since it turned out she likes to wear her vest inside as well  very cozy for napping.  She has even slept in it on cold nights.

Highly recommend.

I have a Great Dane (150lbs) and we have gone thru several of the cheaper visibility jackets, in short order because on all of them the straps keeping the jacket on her, break if my dog decides to have a roll on the ground or if she gets tangled up in bushes.  We hike a lot and i have had a hard time finding a visibility jacket that fits a 150lb Dane and that can withstand the rigors of dog activities and hiking in woods!.  Finally I have found the PERFECT jacket!  It is very well made, of very durable material, does not come off her and the broad wrap around strap w Velcro keep this jacket on no matter what!  The jacket has a light microfleece backing that makes it really comfortable for my dog, and it washes like a dream. and you get it in long as well as regular length if you have a dog with a long body, like a dane.  If you have a large dog and need a visibility jacket - look no further!  this is it!

Finally, a quality warm jacket, excellently made and its windproof too! If I could give it 10 stars, I would! The style is different than regular arm holes, giving you the option to wrap up the underneath Velcro and go, but I just leave it all together (like it arrived with the Velcro neatly closed) and easily slip it over my dogs head, then just slide his front paws into the arm holes and go! There's a soft elastic loop at the end giving you the option to put his tail through there...(what?!...sounds gross ewwww) yet after jokingly trying his tail through the loop, the jacket fit even better and his tail kept the loop away from being soiled, which was a health concern for me. With or without using the loop on your dog's tail, you will love this jacket, don't hesitate to grab one. The fabric is high quality and it's very well made.

The waterproof outer fabric has a nice, soft, satin texture, then there is a nice insulating layer and finally the lining layer. Initially I thought no way this would be warm enough for winter, but once I tried to bliw through the fabric, realizing it was far better windproof fabric than all the others I've had, I was thrilled! We suffer 45 mph winds off the Chesapeake Bay all winter and it can be brutal, especially trying to find the right jacket for my partially hairless Chinese Crested dog. He weighs 19 pounds with a 20" girth (big rib cage, not fat) the Large fit him really well and was not too tight. Usually jackets for his size are snug, but the cut of this design is wonderful. Oh, the gray piping adds nice detail and it's a reflective strip. On a cold day, some warm pajamas and this jacket would be perfect. On a very cold day, I'd add a tiny t-shirt under the pajamas, then this great jacket. It's well made, far better than any other "raincoat" I've bought before. That might be a problem because now, I'm going to have to get it in a second color! I wish there was more than four color choices! Enjoy

I bought this coat as a gift for my boyfriend, and he absolutely loves it. Here's why!

- It's warm. It definitely fits the description. It hasn't gotten under 20 degrees where I am now, but he reports that definitely keeps the warmth in. My boyfriend especially likes the soft sweater-like inner cuff, he says it's comfy and keeps the wind from blowing up his arm.

- Study construction. The coat is very well made, especially for the price. It's heavy, sturdy, and seems built to last long.

- Roomy. The coat seems to run large (in my opinion), but we opted for a size L so that he could wear layers if needed. Mr. Hobbit is around 6'2" and 200lbs, usually wears Medium for a "true" fit and Large for a roomy fit. To me, the coat did look like it could be XL. but he prefers it this way. Even though *I* think a size M would *look* better (the size L kinda gives a 'turtle back' effect, it puffs out), we're going for practicality, so running large wasn't bad in this case.

- Water resistant. While it isn't water PROOF it is very RESISTANT! My boyfriend was incredibly happy coming back inside from the pouring rain. He actually beamed and reported that shaking / brushing the rain off his coat was so easy and he didn't get wet at all.

- Reflective tape for safety--this was more for me and my piece of mind than him! :)

- Machine-washable. Well, I wouldn't be hand washing one of these ever let me tell you...

Anyway. Great coat for a great price. The other half loves it. He's reported how awesome it was about 5 times now, so I'll take it as a win!

For this price - what a great coat! Like a Canada Goose lookalike. Pockets sit a little strangely, but gloves will do that job. It's going to be great on cold dog walks.

This jacket is really awesome. Waterproof, warm and covers all the right places when there is a chill in the air. I did have a bit of trouble sizing, however make sure that when you measure your dog you start the measurement from in between the shoulder blades to where the tail begins. My dog is 40 pounds and 20 inches long and this size fit him great. The neck and buckle are both adjustable so it could fit a heavier dog who is around this length fine. Overall this is a great coat, not cheap and useless like most coats out there. I would highly recommend it!

I love this coat, it has a look and feel like real fur.  Unfortunatelly it runs a bit tight around the hips for the Large but it fits a 12.  For me, a size 16 it would not fit at all, so I would recommend you get an extra large and you give the vendor the measurements prior to order. They were very acccommodating as well.  Also this coat arrived in a plastic bag, and I was worried about wrikles. Miraculously, it just popped out like it was just pressed.  From a small plastic bag such a fluffy lovely coat. Amazing.  Very pleased with this purchase. If they had a much larger one I would buy for myself next year.

This is an excellent dog coat and has made a big different for our dog in the exceedingly cold weather we've had this winter. It is thick and sturdy and thanks to this coat, he can stay outside and have a good, long walk, rather than beg to go home because he's shivering (which was the case with a sweater). The only downside is that it took a long time to arrive (several weeks). Please note that our 12-13 pound dog took an XL and it's not a drop too big on him.

I did buy a larger than normal inexpensive black harness to go OVER it though as it doesn't have a hole for the harness D ring to poke through and the collar of the parka goes up too high for the collar to be used for walking. The advantage to the higher collar though is that short haired dogs necks will stay plenty warm.
We bought 2 for a trip to San Francisco recently and the weather was much nicer than expected so we haven't really used it in a practical way, just tried it on in the house, however it is made very well and for the price, a much better value than many of the stiff coats for dogs.

I read up on this coat. So I bought it large .so happy to get it looks good love the zip in fur liner like the buttons on sleeve to keep liner in tack. Hood could be a little larder. Over all I give it a big ten thank you

Very well made. Tough material. My short haired dog seems to like it. Runs large though. I was careful about measuring and despite this she looks like she's wearing an oversized trench coat. Easy to put on and take off. I would definitely recommend it

We have purchased many coats for our 70-pound GSD. This particular coat is the best coat for rainy, cool, and windy days. Our objective is to keep Scout warm and dry and to make it easier to keep her clean. Hurtta coats are well designed and well made--superior in function and appearance to all other coats we have encountered in our quest for the perfect coat. The opening in the back provides access to Scout's harness when she is on leash. The bright color and reflective features make it easier to keep an eye on her in the woods and fields. Her chest area and shoulders are protected, and she has good coverage on her hips and back legs. The Hurtta Torrent Coat makes walking in the rain less bothersome, because you have less fur to clean and dry before coming in the house. The recommend size (28) for GSDs was perfect.

This coat is very well made.  After 5 months of weekly washings, it still looks almost new.  Additionally, my little one received so many compliments whenever she wore this coat.  Sadly, winter is over and it is now time for it to be retired.  I'll definitely be buying more Rothschild outerwear for my daughter in the future.
