Comments about Ruffwear Ruff Wear Climate Changer Fleece Dog Coat:

I have a an all white pit bull, she has very little fur. The fur she does have is thin and mostly on her back. From the chin all the way down to her tummy is bald, tiny bit of peach fuzz. She shivers on cool days and on cold windy day I have to force her outside. She is medium in size, about 60 lbs. I tried many coats and sweaters before I found this, most other brands don't cover her chest or are designed for much smaller breads. I swear this is custom made for my dog. It fits perfect around the neck, chest and tummy. The back covers to her tail just like it should. She loves to wear it too, when I take it off her, she wants it back on!

I have two boxers and I have to keep them outside. I bought these for the cold nights right now. They love them. They don't give me any problems when putting them on, nor do they try to bite them off. They look really cute and snuggley in them.

Comments about Ruffwear Ruff Wear Climate Changer Fleece Dog Coat:

I bought this dog coat because my boyfriend is allergic to my dog and I'm not ready to get rid of him or the dog. Figured the coat will help keep the hair and dander off the carpet and out of the air when we're at his house. The coat definitely traps the dog hair, which I shake out daily. Other reviews say it washes well so once every few weeks I will toss it in the washer.

Comments about Ruffwear Ruff Wear Climate Changer Fleece Dog Coat:

I bought the Ruffwear coat for my 17 year old pointer because he doesn't have a lot of fat or the tolerance for cold that he used to. Just spent 5 days in the desert with temperatures at low as 16 degrees and when I slid my hand underneath the jacket he was toasty warm. Actually i had to pull it of when he made his way into the sleeping bag because he was too warm.

The coat is easy to get on and off, and he can do his duty without any issues. Good boy!

Comments about Ruffwear Ruff Wear Climate Changer Fleece Dog Coat:

This is a GREAT doggie sweater!

I have a 3 year old Border Collie mix that is skinny and always cold. He's 45 lbs, but has a small barrel - so we got him a medium according to the sizing chart, and it was a tad bit big but seemed to work for him. We live in Portland, Oregon, so it's not Alaska cold, but nights when it gets around 30 he starts shivering on our nightly walks, also when we go to Mt Hood on the weekend and do some snow hiking. I have also used it as an overnight sweater while camping to keep Pip out of my sleeping bag but warm enough by himself.

Pippin and I love this sweater. He's very, very active - the cloud chaser jacket overheated him because all he does is run. This seems to breathe well enough for him to enjoy himself but not overheat. When we get home from the snow, we hang the sweater up to dry and it's ready within a few hours for him to snuggle in.

I have used it in the snow for when we go hiking and it doesn't get soaked (granted, we stay on pre-packed paths) and I also love that I can see him from far away in his lichen green sweater. It's just enough - the perfect thickness - to keep him warm. It washes well and has never shrunk.

It is well worth the money in my opinion - and Ruff Wear really stands behind their products, which I always appreciate.

Comments about Ruffwear Ruff Wear Climate Changer Fleece Dog Coat:

Picked up an extras small jacket for my miniature schnauzer. he is 20.5 inches around the chest and it fits very well - just snug enough to keep him warm and stay in place. I like the "arm" holes because they keep the jacket in place. The last jacket we used kept slipping to the side which "Eddie Haskel" really did not like.

Comments about Ruffwear Ruff Wear Climate Changer Fleece Dog Coat:

Love this fleece! It's a bit spendy but very well made. I bought this because my German shorthair shivered inside my house. Since receiving the fleece he hasn't shivered once! Easy to put on. I use it indoors, it wouldn't work outside for us because the belly is pretty long and my male dog would soak it in pee. We have a ruff wear outdoor coat that works great too! I love this company! Spendy but well worth it!!

Comments about Ruffwear Ruff Wear Climate Changer Fleece Dog Coat:

Went camping in Pike Natl Forest at about 10000 ft in the snow. First time snow camping for us and for our 8 mo old Ridgeback Ailie. Ailie had never worn any "clothing" before and it didn't bother her a bit. She was running and jumping and playing in the snow all day and then slept in her fleece at night. It was anywhere from 15 degrees at night and up to 40 during the day. Great buy.
