It's unisex, with a 39 cm back length.
Why a dog needs a raincoat
A raincoat doesn't keep a dog as warm as a winter jumpsuit, but it protects against water and mud. Your dog comes home dry and nearly clean, so you don't have to bathe it every time. This matters especially for long-haired dogs, whose belly and leg fur picks up mud instantly, and for low-slung breeds.

How to choose the size
Measure your dog's back from the base of the neck to the base of the tail — 39 cm for this model. Also measure chest and neck girth and check them against the Dogs Bomba size chart for No. 7; the girths aren't on the product page, so it's best to confirm them with a consultant. The raincoat should fit loosely, leaving air underneath so your dog doesn't overheat. More in how to choose the right size of dog clothing.
Raincoat or winter jumpsuit
A raincoat is for autumn and spring, when it's above freezing but wet and muddy. A winter jumpsuit is insulated for frost and snow. Many owners keep both: a raincoat for the shoulder seasons and a warm jumpsuit for winter. Options are in the dog raincoats and dog jumpsuits collections.
Safety after dark
It gets dark early in autumn, and the product page doesn't mention reflectors. To keep your dog visible on evening walks, add a light-up tag such as the Croci Twinkle LED or a light-up collar. More in walking your dog in the dark.
Caring for the raincoat
After a walk, wipe the raincoat with a damp cloth and dry it at room temperature away from radiators. If it's very muddy, rinse it in warm water. Don't dry it on hot surfaces, as the waterproof coating may suffer. Still wash the paws after slushy walks — more in caring for your dog's paws in autumn and winter.
Getting your dog used to a raincoat
Many dogs are spooked by rustling fabric at first. Let your dog sniff the raincoat, put it on at home for a couple of minutes, then treat and praise. Next, go for a short walk in dry weather so the first outing doesn't coincide with a downpour. After a few times, your dog will wait calmly while you fasten the straps.
Who it suits
Owners of dogs with a back length of around 39 cm who walk in rain and slush and want to come home with a clean dog. More models are in the clothing and accessories section.
Verdict
