Dog Raincoats

Hooded dog raincoats from Cycle Dog, built for the kind of rain Georgia gets in an afternoon rather than a drizzle: waterproof shell, a hood that stays up and a pocket. Blue, green and pink, in two sizes, S/M and L/XL, at $59.99 to $79.99.

Each size is listed by back length, chest and neck measurement rather than by weight, which is why they fit dogs that other coats do not; the S/M covers roughly a 14-inch back and 19-inch chest up to a 23-inch back and 29-inch chest, and the L/XL runs from a 25-inch back to a 29-inch back with a 40-inch chest. The coat packs down small enough to live in the car.

Measure before you order, with our jacket measuring guide, and choose the size whose range holds all three numbers. A no-stink collar from the same maker is the natural partner, and for the cold half of the year the winter clothes take over.
