Features Of The Kooltail Fashion Dots Dog Raincoat

 

1. Material

This raincoat is made of leather material. It’s treated leather, and so it’s water-resistant.

However, we do not think that leather is as good a water-resistant material as nylon and polyester. Maybe the manufacturers wanted to do something different for a change but we don’t think that turned out so well tho. Sometimes it’s better to use what’s trusted than what’s fresh.

Another thing about the material is that its light. leather is usually thick, so, we wonder. Because it’s lightweight, it does not provide your dog any form of warmth or insulation from the rain. So, you might still need a dog sweater.

2. Visibility

The visibility is a very important factor for anyone who wants to pick up a dog raincoat. It’s important because, when you use the raincoat, it’ll probably be dark because of the dark clouds and sometimes you’ll use it at night.

In these cases, it is important that your dog is easy for you to see, just so you can maintain his safety at all times.

This raincoat comes in two colors, blue and pink, both of which serve the purpose explained above well. To add to the visibility, there’s a reflective stripe added horizontally, across the back of the dog raincoat. This reflective stripe glows in the dark. This increased light, in turn, makes it easier for you to see him.

Pros Of The Kooltail Fashion Dots Dog Raincoat

 

1. Ease Of Use

This raincoat is super easy to put on your dog and to take off of him. This is because it doesn’t come with any sleeves or anything like that. It’s a simple, basic, poncho-style design. Basically, all you have to do is get your pups’ head through the neck of the raincoat and snap the underbelly Velcro strap in place.

Optional, but if it gets extremely windy outside, there are two hind-leg straps that you can put your dogs’ hind-legs into. They are made of elastic so you’ll just need to put your dogs’ legs into them. That is to make sure that the back of the raincoat stays in place and is not moved by the wind.

Also, to make this even easier to use, there is a leash access hole. This hole is a small slit at the back of the raincoat that makes it possible for you to pass your leash through to your dogs’ collar or harness. Without this, you would be unable to use this dog raincoat outside.

Cons

1. Smells Like Plastic

Some customers complained that the first few weeks of using this dog raincoat, it smelt like plastic, and not the good kind of plastic, the bad kind. Also, if you have a dog that likes to chew, this plastic smell would only encourage them.

One customer, in particular, said that their dog chewed on the dog raincoat before they even got a chance to use it.

2. The Material Is Not Durable

The material used in making this dog raincoat is not durable. If you’re looking for a dog raincoat to last you for the next few years, then this is not the dog raincoat for you.

Some people complained that it began to wear out after just about 6 months of use.

3. It Doesn’t Cover Your Pups’ Underbelly

This dog raincoat doesn’t cover your pups’ chest and underbelly. This means that while his back is covered and protected from the rain when he steps into puddles and it splashes, his underbelly gets wet.
