made for male dogs

Doesn't any designer realize that dogs come in male and female? That female dogs can wear jackets with tummy covering because the runoff occurs elsewhere?Thankskh/////No

Just cozy enough!

Great coat! We purchased this coat for our coon hound as he gets cold during winter hikes. No problems so far with him peeing on it.When sizing – if on the cusp would recommend going up to the next size. /////Yes

Impressed

Very high quality material, workmanship and durability. I have three Yorkies who are susceptible to cold. Love the extra flap to guard against getting hair caught in the zipper. A little pricy but worth every penny as it's the best product I've every come across. Thank You Ruffwear./////Yes

great coat

Fits my female Doberman like a glove. Gives good coverage without being bulky. She's stylin' as well as warm on our cold weather walks. I may have to start dressing better./////Yes

Nice fleece

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!/////Yes

We loved it

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!/////Yes

Fits Well

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./////Yes

Like it!

Great jacket! I own every Ruff Wear jacket made and a idea on Ruff Wear new jacket would be this fleece for clod weather use with a outer water proof shell like Sun Shower jacket with removable hood that the outer shell is more like the K-9 Overcoat that can with stand back woods use./////Yes

It gets cold in the mountains, and my dobie wears his Climate Changer every night. When the weather gets really cold, we put his Ruffwear coat over it and double layer him. Both have held up nicely and that's saying alot since he rockets through the mountain trails every day!/////Yes

GREAT!

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. /////Yes

Awesome!

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./////Yes

Oz and I love this jacket! I got the xxsmall for him and it fits like a glove! I got it for our 6week stay in Ouray and have had him in it for our hikes around Utah and he has already gotten used to wearing it. Now he doesn't shake and whine when we are out in the snow, he just tromps along happily with all the other dogs. /////Definitely

Perfect

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!/////Yes

Awesome Fleece

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!/////Yes

Great fit, great quality

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./////Yes

Best Coat Ever

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./////ABSOLUTELY

Very Good

I like these vests. I hunt with my dogs and I use these when it is very cold. They are quieter and don't rub my dogs as much as other vest I have tried. But, the green color is not as bright as I would like. I wish they came in international orange./////yes

Excellent

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! /////yes

Great Jacket

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. /////yes

Superp

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./////yes

Well done

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. /////yes
