10 Best Dachshund Winter Coats – Does My Dachshund Need a Coat in Winter?

Dachshunds are a single coated breed, which means that they have just one thin layer of fur. So compared to some other dog breeds with thick fur, they don’t regulate body heat well and as a result, they are more susceptible to feeling the cold.

Doxies are also susceptible to chilly temperatures due to their long body shape and short legs, which means they are closer to the damp cold ground. To help keep their temperature comfortable, you should look into getting your pup a jacket or a coat, especially if they will be outside for an extended period of time.

Adding this essential accessory to their wardrobe will not only keep them comfortable, but it will make your life much easier too as many dachshunds refuse to step outside of the door when it’s cold and wet. They simply love to be warm, dry and cozy! 🙂

10 Best Dachshund Winter Coats – What Features to Consider

When searching for a coat for your dachshund, there are a few important factors to consider. Some of these may not even come to your mind if you are a new doxie puppy owner and are yet to experience your puppy’s first winter. So we have summarised them below for you.

What fabric or material is the coat made of?

When searching for a winter coat for your dachshund, you should be looking for a fully waterproof and durable coat that will keep your pup’s chest and belly dry. This is expecially important if you take your pup out for walks in areas with tall grass, wet or muddy ground or in woodlands. In our opinion this feature is a must when purchasing a winter coat hence it’s at the top of our list.

Also, don’t forget to pick a coat that has a warm lining on the inside to ensure it is warm enough to keep your dachshund comfy. Autumn or spring dachshund coats usually have just a single layer of material and would not be sufficient for the cold winter months.

Is the coat a good fit?

A good fitting coat is another must when considering a winter coat for your doxie. There is no point buying a stylish coat for your pup that makes them look trendy when they feel uncomfortable wearing it and can’t even walk or run in it. Consider your dog’s comfort and practicality of the outfit.

You should be looking for a winter coat specifically made for the dachshund breed as it takes into consideration their large chest, short legs and long body. The good news is that many companies will custom make the coats based on your doxie’s measurements and will even provide you with lots of advice as to how to measure your dog.

To ensure the coat is a good fit, check that it’s not too tight on any parts of the body and that it is not rubbing under their armpits, against their privates or their tail.

Last but not least, if you own a puppy, you may need to add some extra to your measurements to allow for your puppy’s growth. Dachshund coats are not cheap so you can just as well get a slightly bigger coat so it lasts longer. 🙂

Is the coat easy to put on?

Dachshunds can be a stubborn breed and can often refuse to put their coat on. When choosing a winter coat for your pup, conside how easy or difficult it will be to put on. There are many different styles available on the market so choose one that fits your preference but also the age and flexibility of your dog. Some styles are more suitable when you have an older dog that may for example have issues with their joints or back.

Is the coat machine washable?

Trust us when we say that you do need a machine washable coat because you will find yourself washing your dog’s outfits more often then your own! Thanks to being so close to the ground, your dachshund’s coat will be constantly covered in grass, mud and all sorts of mess especially on the bottom part. Not to mention that they do like to roll in a poo occasionaly too. 🙂

We always purchase a couple of coats so we have a spare one whilst the other one is drying after a wash.

Does the coat come with any accessories?

You may also want to look into if the coat comes with any accessories such as a hood, a built in harness, a hole for your own harness ring or a D ring attached to the back of the coat.
