Common Questions

Yes, the coat is suitable for small dogs and is praised for its warm fleece lining.

How does the hood work?

Highlighted Reviews

— Clarissa

"Love the look and feel of this coat. I find my chihuahua has to wear the court without the hood so he can see. Otherwise we love it"

— Linda

"My little guy was not a fan of hoods as a pup so we bought this because of the snap that holds the hood back. Unfortunately when we unsnapped it to try out the hood, the snap broke. A quick stitch is now holding the hood back."

Bottom Line

If you are looking for a warm and stylish coat for your dog, this is a great option. Just be aware of the potential issues with the hood and Velcro closure.
