Guardian Gear Vinyl Dog Rain Jacket with Reflective Strip, Medium, Orange

good doggie rain jacket
The Guardian Gear Vinyl Dog Rain Jacket with Reflective Strip is a good product. The sizing chart was very hard to locate online and I couldn't find it with the Amazon.com listing of this jacket but once I found the chart, I determined which size my dog needed. Once I received the rain jacket I put it on my Smooth Collie. I found that the chest sizing wasn't accurate on the chart. The jacket's chest strap is way too long for the sewn on velcro stips to latch together. So I have to improvise and make the chest strap loop around in order for the velcro stip to latch together properly. The rain jacket itself is of good vinyl quality. It is sewn together nicely. And it comes with a little hood. But this hood is too little and short to fit over a larger dog's head, like my Collie. So it basically sits at the back of her head and ears. The back/rear part of the rain jacket sits about a few inches away from the end of her back, so if it is raining, her tail end will get wet. But...
Okay, with modification.
My dog is a very large German Shepherd. It's well made. I should have bought a size smaller but the directions to measure my dog were misleading so it's too big. The hood does not work - because it doesn't reach high enough. The length is longer than I anticipated. I measured my dog carefully. The velcro for the belt doesn't go back far enough so I had to attach some to make it fit. My dog doesn't mind wearing it in spite of the elastics that go under his back legs.
Dog rain jacket
The medium size fits well for my 20 lb dog, except that the hood doesn't cover enough of his head. The hole for the leash is kind of far down the back, so it works well using our dog harness, but then the hood isn't far enough up to cover his head much. (But maybe my dog wouldn't like his head covered anyways.) My dog also has a long curly tail which curls up, not down, so the jacket doesn't cover over it, nor his bottom. But it is so rainy here that we needed this jacket even just to keep his back and shoulders dry.
