AWESOME!
Would you recommend this product?: Yes!
Our newest K9 Lifeguard, Torrey, is only 5 months old, and has trouble tolerating the cold water for long periods of time. This coat not only fits like a glove under her harness, it provides the extra layer of warmth she needs out of the surf to allow her to participate in the rest of the training. Otherwise, she shivers so much, she has to sit in the car to warm up and misses land-training. Great job, Ruff Wear! (Wish there were human jackets like this!)

Our newest addition to the "Working Water Dogs" K9 Lifeguard team is Torrey, a 5 month old Weim. This jacket allows her the extra layer of warmth she needs to tolerate the cold after swimming in 60* ocean water. It fits PERFECTLY under her harness, and allows her to participate in land training without shivering herself to sleep on the beach. She had to be put in the car to warm up before we added this to her gear, causing her to miss valuable training time on the beach. Great Job, Ruff Wear!

WONDERFUL SWEATER
Would you recommend this product?: Yes!
This is as nice or nicer than any jacket I own for me! the fleece is very thick and soft - even after several washings. (I recommend a sport wash product to keep the loft). Its easy to get on and off yet provides excellent coverage of the chest and underside - crucial for real warmth. My GSPs dogs adore this garment. CordyBrown age 14 will go and find it and try to roll herself into it. It's thick enough to wear in a light rain. Is roomy. Its cut along the same shape as the Cloud Chaser coat but with much more ease in the chest and body and seems a bit longer as a result.

Were making a trip to the snow and Rusty has a really thin coat. Although he weighs 95lbs he fitted well in the large, although we bought an XL first. He seemed comfortable in the coat as soon as we put it and it kept him beautifully warm. He wasn't so sure about the snow. One small thing - and it is most probably my dog's quirk - but he wouldn't lift his leg with the jacket on. He held in for about 20 hours, and we were getting real worried, but he was warm so I took it off and he rushed outside in relief.

Good Base Layer.
Would you recommend this product?: Yes!
Great product. Lily is with me most of the time and occasionally needs to be left in the car, which was my primary reason for buying the jacket. As far as my application, the jacket as a standalone is more of a hindrance outside than a help because, like all fleece, it attracts burrs and gets wet very easily, especially with a low-rider dog. However, when used as a base layer with the Cloud Chaser over top, it adds an obvious level of protection. I would not use the Climate Changer if you and your pet are “off the trail” on a regular basis where there are branches, thorns and everything in between; instead I would use the Cloud Chaser. Then, if you need the extra warmth, the Climate Changer makes a great addition to the Cloud Chaser.

Blaze is a short hair breed, and so when we took our four day backcountry hike in below freezing temperatures, she absolutely had to have something to keep her warm through the day. This rocked! We weren't hiking what I would call an established trail - It was a wilderness trail which was brutal on hikers and gear alike. This, combined with bark'n boots and the palisades pack worked perfectly. The jacket fits her extremely well - her girth is 31" and I bought her a medium. She was a little cold, as we all were for the whole trip, but she wasn't freezing, and that was important.

Greyhounds don't have much body fat, so when it's under 40, they need something and this is perfect for that. It could be a little longer on the top as it seems a bit short for my hounds, but for most dogs it's probably perfect.

This was exactly what I was looking for. My newly rescued Dobe has a poor coat and is almost bald in many areas. The hardest to cover was his chest and tummy. Your fleece did the job. I was using 4 (I kid you not) layers of the conventional "horse blanket types to try to keep this guy warm. Now with your K9 overcoat and the fleece, he is toasty warm on our walks. He hugs me every time I put it on. I think he likes it! Thanks for a super product. I give it five stars.

We have had lots of snow this year so the fleece coat has been used a lot. It kept him out playing in 6" of snow and 18 F. He is 63 lbs and the mediun fits him well. I've washed it several times and it is holding up well. I also use the cloud chaser jacket when it's cold and rainy that is also a great product.

This is an excellent piece for our dog. It fits him like a glove. He has the Climate Changer Fleece Jacket. It is the perfect weight of material without restricting his movement and adds just enough warmth. However, it does tend to be a little too snug only in the arm area, so I would recommend making the arms just a bit wider. I had to stretch out the arm holes. Other than that, I would definately purchase another and also recommend this product to anyone looking for great quality products for their dog. We are very happy!

Best Coat Ever
Would you recommend this product?: Yes!
My wife and I rescued to pitties a few years back who LOVE spending time outside most of the year. Winter, however is by far their least favorite.............until we bought these coats. It's 26 degrees out and they don't want to come inside. The coats fit perfectly, well constructed and the fleece material is very nice. Duke and Jada loved them from day one and are very comfortable taking walks in the cold weather. In the past, they would shake and shiver if outside for a few minutes. Those days are long gone. I've slipped my hand up inside the coat when they're wearing it to feel their body temp..........always warm. I'd HIGHLY recommend this coat to everyone. Simply said, you can't go wrong.

We got this coat for our young boxer. He goes for a walk at least once a day and after a cold snap I decided to go ahead and get this coat for him. With highs in the 20s right now, this coat helps him to still get his exercise without being chilled. He was a bit confused the first time I put it on, but now he knows exacty what it means when I pull it out. The fit is great, no chafing and he is able to run around as usual. A bit pricey but great materials and it is obvious this is a high-quality jacket, functional and looks good too.

Awesome Fleece
Would you recommend this product?: Yes!
I got this for Lily during the winter months when she's outside at doggie daycare. The fit is great and I love that it covers her belly and chest where there's less fur to keep her warm. She doesn't seem to mind it at all since it doesn't obstruct her movement while romping around with the other dogs. I love how well built it is and how it doesn't look like the other goofy dog coats I've seen! It looks like a fleece jacket I would wear but sized for her. Even my boyfriend who first thought the idea was ridiculous liked the coat on her. She has the Cloud Chaser for rainy days but this is perfect for clear, cold days. Fantastic product!

I am thrilled that I finally found a coat that fits my dog! I was a little worried that my Great Dane would be too big for the x-large but it fits him with a little bit of room to spare (he has a 40" chest). The size measurements that are listed seem to be very accurate so if your dog's chest size is larger than 42", the coat may not fit but it does have a little stretch in it. The length is perfect. He loves it--can't wait to take him camping in the spring!

AZ winters can cause our short-haired pup to start shivering (even inside the house). The jacket promptly takes care of that problem. The only time he's not wearing it is during active hikes and agility class. The jacket has a great look and doesn't stretch out (like sweaters can). The side zipper is great - so easy to slip on and off. Size XS is a perfect fit for our 23 lb. pup.

I bought this at a pet store over the weekend. I have a min pin that really loves outside but he doesn't have a ton of fur so he gets cold VERY easily. I have been looking for a coat that ZIPS or snaps as opposed to velcro as my Ridgeback will pull a velcro jacket off of my min-pin and chew it up. I LOVE this jacket. The price is appalling but the workmanship of this is great. The zipper is sturdy, the stitching is solid and overall, it is really well constructed. And, of course, he looks super cute!!! Also bought the cloud chaser but figured I would wait until it's wet to use it.

Both of our dogs have had their Climate Changer Fleece Jackets for almost a year and the jackets are still in good condition. The jackets fit the dogs well and do not appear to restrict movement nor bother the dogs. Our Pit Bull gets cold at night so he wears his jacket to bed in the winter. With consistent nightly wear and some roughhousing with the jackets on, one jacket has ripped in two different places. Both times were close to the seam and very easy to stitch up. We have both green and black and personally like how the green does not show our dogs hair as much as the black does.

Just got this in addition to the cloud chaser. It's a bit roomier and stretchier than the cloud chaser and therefore more comfortable and better for lounging around or putting it on at night when you're camping in cold weather. Not wind or water proof, so for snowshoeing etc. the cloud chaser is definitely better. Seems a bit pricey for the material. Shop for a sale!

Our Vizsla, Steve, loves being outside, but doesn't have much of a natural coat to defend against the cold- this fleece jacket is thick enough to keep him warm out in the yard or at the dog park, but not so bulky that he can't simply lounge around the house in it too. And if it's below freezing or raining, he can easily wear it beneath a raincoat or snow jacket for extra insulation. Overall, I would highly recommend it!
