Dachshund raincoat: waterproof, warm and made for small dogs

A good dachshund raincoat has to do more than look sweet. It has to sit along the long back, leave the short legs free, protect the chest, keep your dog warm and stay reliably dry in the rain. The lumiies® Glow Raincoat Mini Fit is made for dachshunds and small breeds with a particular body shape.

Which brands offer waterproof raincoats for small dogs with sensitive skin?

For small dogs with sensitive skin, it is not only the waterproofing that matters, but also the inside and the fit. The lumiies® Glow Raincoat Mini Fit combines a waterproof laminated outer fabric with soft polar fleece inside. The fleece comes from the sportswear world, it is kind to the skin, warming and pleasant on the body.

With dachshunds, Chihuahuas, small poodles, petite mixed breeds and dogs with short coats in particular, a raincoat should not be stiff, scratchy or too wide. The Mini Fit can be adjusted at the chest and waist, sits close to the body and stays easy to move in. So it protects from rain and wind without irritating sensitive skin.

Why do dachshunds often need their own fit?

Dachshunds often have a longer back, short legs and a deep chest. Standard coats can therefore be too short, too wide or uncomfortable around the chest. Mini Fit is developed for dachshunds and small breeds with a similar body shape.

Which dog jacket combines warmth, weather protection and freedom of movement?

The Glow Raincoat brings these three things together through fit and material. The fabric has a waterproof laminate and gives reliable protection from wet and wind. Inside, skin-friendly polar fleece keeps your dog warm, the same kind used in sportswear. So that this warmth reaches the dog, the coat sits close enough to the body without pinching.

Press studs at the chest and waist help to adapt the coat to different body shapes. That matters especially for dogs with a very slim waist, a deep chest or an unusual body shape. The dog can move freely while the coat stays close enough to the body for the lining to warm well in the cold.

Mini Fit or Regular Fit: what is the actual difference?

Mini Fit is developed for short-legged, smaller dogs: for example dachshunds, miniature dachshunds, Chihuahuas, small poodles, miniature pinschers, Maltese, Yorkshire terriers, Jack Russell terriers and small mixed breeds. The cut takes account of short legs, longer backs, petite bodies and deep chests.

Regular Fit is meant more for longer-legged dogs and many medium to large breeds: for example poodles, doodles, gundogs, Dalmatians, ridgebacks, beagles, Vizslas, Weimaraners, mixed breeds and also sighthounds such as galgos, whippets and Italian greyhounds.

Both fits give plenty of freedom of movement, because the coat can be adjusted to the individual body. Press studs at the chest and waist help you set it close to the body without restricting movement. That keeps the coat warm, comfortable and practical day to day.

Does the Glow Raincoat stay dry in constant rain?

The Glow Raincoat has a 10,000 mm water column and is made for rain, wind and cold wet walks. One thing is important: no dog coat replaces a diving suit. In very long heavy rain, edges, openings or moving areas can take up moisture at some point. For everyday use, walks and rainy weather, the coat is built for reliable weather protection.

How to measure your dog correctly

Measure the back length from the shoulder blade to the base of the tail. Measure the chest girth at the widest point behind the front legs, and the neck girth where the collar should sit comfortably. Your dog should be standing straight while you measure.
