Recently, we have started a series of posts & blog entries about dog coats. We have already showed you the importance of measuring your dog instead of guessing the right size & we have discussed the raincoats as well as winter coats from Pomppa. Today´s Shopping guide explains the individual models of dog coats by Non-stop dogwear. Continue reading for more tips and understanding of their sizing.
Choosing the right size
The most important thing when choosing the size is that the coat doesn’t disturb dog’s natural movement and dog feels comfortable in the coat. When choosing a coat for active outdoor use, it is important to choose the size that fits really well. For slower activities and waiting in place, the coat can be a bit bigger. Do not guess the right size based on a different model of jacket that you might already have at home!
Measuring your dog
When measuring, your dog needs to be in standing position, back bone as straight as possible. Measurements are taken firmly from the dog. Measure back length from neck to base of the tail. The starting point in the neck is in the confluence of neck and back columns
CAUTION
Sizes of the coats printed on the packaging DO NOT correspond to the measured back length of the dog. Always check the appropriate Size Chart (different for Pro/Beta Pro Raincoat & Glacier/Glacier Wool Jacket)! If your dog is between 2 sizes, choose the larger size.
Example
You measured back length on your dog of 50 cm.
For Glacier Jackets – In theory, size 55 or 60 should be suitable for your dog. We recommend choosing the larger size, in this case 60. You can always adjust the length of the coat a little by tightening the adjustment point on the neck/shoulder blades. This way the larger size will cover also the tail area of your dog sufficiently, whereas the size 55 might be too short when the dog puts their head down during sniffing.
For Pro & Beta Pro Raincoats – according to size chart for raincoats, size 55 should be suitable and it also fits.
So in the end, the same dog would need size 55 for Pro/Beta Pro raincoat and size 60 for Glacier Jackets.
Correct size. Keen has back length of 57 cm and wears Glacier Jacket size 65.
The back & tights are fully covered even when the dog lowers their head.
Wrong size.
The Glacier Jacket size 60 is too short.
The tail area of the back is exposed when the dog lowers their head. The coat is too short.
Non-Stop Dogwear has available several different types of coats. Choose the coat according to the activity and type of your dog.
RAINCOATS
If you are looking for a thin raincoat to protect your dog from rain & wind, Beta Pro Raincoat or Pro Raincoat are most suitable. They both have 15.000 mm water column and DO NOT include any insulation. As they do not offer any additional warmth, they are perfectly suitable also for breeds with undercoat, e.g. border collie, Australian Shepherd, etc.
These raincoats are equivalent to Sade Pomppa. They are a good fit for dogs, who are in between sizes for Pomppa coats. However, keep in mind, that for an active dog, you need to put on the leg loops to hold the coat in the place.

What is the difference between Pro Raincoat & Beta Pro Raincoat?
Beta Pro is equipped with rubberized mesh under belly which does not absorb any moisture. This is a big advantage for small breeds who have the belly parts of coats often soaked with water splashing from the ground during rainy weather. It also offers more adjusting possibilities with elastic rubber bands on the collar and at the back near the tail.
WINDSTOPER JACKET
Blest Jacket is an insulated wind resistant coat suitable for active dogs. It has 8.000 mm water column and has a Primaloft insulation layer to keep the dog warm. It is a very lightweight jacket designed to be used during activity.
This coat is suitable to be used during run in cold weather. You can use it as winter coat for dogs with undercoat, however it is not sufficient for a dog without undercoat to keep them warm for example during waiting in a car during agility training. It is similar to Kevyt Pomppa, but a little warmer. It is wind resistant, but NOT completely waterproof during rain. It fits mostly for dog breeds with back length 45 cm and longer.
WINTER COATS
Non-Stop Dogwear has 3 different types of winter coats.
The new Glacier Jacket is in principle updated Alpha Pro Jacket, which is currently being discontinued by Non-stop Dogwear. It is a little bit warmer than Alpha Pro, more water-resistant and has a rubberized mesh under belly which does not absorb any moisture.
The latest Glacier Wool Jacket has identical fit as Glacier Jacket, but it is a thicker coat. The additional wool lining will keep dogs warm even in the most challenging weather circumstances. It is comparable with the previous model of Pro Warm Jacket (discontinued).
Thanks to an additional Hypalon loop at the back, both coats are suitable to be used also with pulling harness underneath!
Should I choose Glacier or Glacier Wool Jacket for my dog?
The difference between these 2 coats is very similar as in Perus Pomppa vs. Toppa Pomppa. Glacier is a great winter coat for dogs with undercoat, Glacier Wool Jacket is perfect for short-haired breeds without undercoat. Both are great fit for dogs, who are in between sizes in Pomppa coats. Thanks to several additional adjusting options on collar and at the back, these coats are great fit for thin dogs with long back and deeper chest as well as dogs with „non-standard“ body size. Thanks to their lightweight, they are perfect winter coats also for very small dog breeds.
However, keep in mind, that for an active dog, you need to put on the leg loops to hold the coat in the place.
Long Distance Jacket is a very thick coat designed to keep the dog warm in the most extreme temperatures up to -50 degrees. It has a similar fit like Blest jacket & it fits mostly for dog breeds with back length 45 cm and longer. This jacket is currently being discontinued by Non-Stop Dogwear.
Product Care
The outer fabric of all coats is waterproof and windproof. All coats can be washed in a 30 degree. Do not bleach. Do not dry clean. Do not iron. Do not tumble dry.
