Best dog raincoats and jackets, based on reviews! 

We’ve had dogs our whole lives (we have photos with us as babies in diapers sitting next to our beloved family Afghans, Sasha and Marushka!), but we’ve never had such picky ones when it comes to rain until we met Nutmeg, our little Chiweenie. He refuses to walk in the rain, even a light drizzle. And many of our clients’ dogs aren’t happy about walking in the rain either! The only way we get Nutmeg to walk for his morning potty is if he’s swaddled in his raincoat, safe from getting wet. We’ve put together a list of rain gear for your own water-averse dogs in the hopes that it will make your lives easier. From simple ponchos to a full-bodied rain jacket, we’ve got you covered!

1. Luccalilly Waterproof Dog Rain Jacket

This one is also very popular and has a belly cover, which is important while walking in the Miami rain. It also has little leg bands to keep the rain coat close to Tally’s legs, so the wind doesn’t make the raincoat whip up.

Purchase the Luccalilly Waterproof Dog Rain Jacket here.

• MATERIAL:  lightweight imitation leather with a waterproof coating to keep your pup dry while walking in the rain. 
• FEATURES:  Underbelly cover protects pets and keeps their tummies dry. Cords along the legs help keep the raincoat snug to make sure the raincoat won’t lift on windy days. Opening in the back for harness hook up. Reflective strip for night walking keeps your pets safe 
• SIZING: For the best fit, match the dimensions from our size chart to your pet’s measurements as closely as possible. 

 

 2. Hurtta Rain Blocker ECO, Dog Raincoat, Hedge, 16 in

 The Hurtta Rain Blocker ECO is super popular and on sale now. It works for light to medium rain and has good reviews. Unlike most raincoats and ponchos you’ll see, the Rain Blocker covers your dog’s legs, too. This comes in handy for our dogs with longer fur. As of this writing, the Hurtta Rain Blocker is on sale.

Purchase the Hurtta Rain Blocker ECO here.

• MATERIAL: The outer shell is 100% recycled waterproof and breathable polyester. An average of 15 plastic bottles are used to make each coat
• FEATURES:  There is an opening on the back of the coat for a harness hook up. All seams have been taped for waterproofness. A rain trap is added to the collar to stop water from getting inside the coat. Adjustable at the back, waist, neckline, rain collar and leg openings for a perfect fit and allow freedom of movement
• SIZING: The Hurtta Rain Blocker seems to run large, so please check the sizing chart and read the comments to make the best decision on sizing.

4. YOULY The Nature Lover Yellow Dog Raincoat

Our dog Nutmeg uses this one. It has a zipper down the front, which can be hard to close on him sometimes, so keep that in mind. It also has long sleeves, so the sizing can be a little awkward. Overall, we love it for him, but some people really don’t like the zipper. Purchase the Youly Nature Lover Dog Raincoat here.

• FEATURES: Reflective strip to keep you safe during night walkies. Clear visor to keep your dog’s head dry, and keep things visible. Hole for harness hookup
