Frequently Asked Questions

What is an “active fit?”

An active fit is designed to move with your dog. It contours to their body for a snug, performance-oriented feel that won’t restrict movement. Thoughtful details like strategic darting allow the fabric to follow your dog’s natural shape, creating a streamlined fit that hugs their body. This close fit helps seal in warmth and ensures coverage where it’s needed most — perfect for staying comfortable and agile on active adventures.

Which silhouette is best for my dog? (vest / coverall / jacket)

Our collection of dog apparel features three silhouettes — vest, jacket, and coverall — each designed with an active, tailored fit that moves with your dog and suits different builds and conditions.

Vest: This sleeveless style is the most accommodating fit. It allows maximum range of motion and minimizes chafing, with side-release buckles for easy on and off.

Jacket: A higher-coverage fit with articulated sleeves and a full-length zipper, a dog jacket offers more warmth while maintaining mobility. It’s great for cold-weather outings and dogs who benefit from a bit more insulation.

Coverall: Our highest-coverage option, the coverall is built for extreme conditions. With a chest zipper and articulated front and rear sleeves, it provides full-body warmth and protection, perfect for short-haired dogs in freezing temps or long-haired dogs prone to snowballs forming on their underside.

What if my dog is hard to fit?

If your dog has a unique build, like being barrel-chested, very long-bodied, or a stocky bully breed, finding the right fit can be a challenge. For dogs like corgis, German Shorthaired Pointers (GSPs), and other breeds with broad shoulders or deep chests, we recommend our vest styles.

The sleeveless design and adjustable side-release buckles make vests especially accommodating for hard-to-fit shapes, offering maximum freedom of movement while minimizing chafing. Plus, the lack of zippers means they’re easier to put on and take off, even for dogs with wider or more muscular builds.

Before choosing apparel, it can be helpful to understand how to measure for a dog jacket to find the right size and fit for your canine companion.
