Our picks of dog raincoats
4 picks, updated 16 September 2026
A dog raincoat has a narrower job than a winter coat. It is there so that the dog and the house stay dry, and how much of the dog it covers is the decision that matters most.
A back and sides coat handles a shower and goes on in seconds. A full body suit takes in the legs and the belly, which is where a long or curly coat picks up the water and the mud.

Rosewood
Joules Burra Raincoat
Why we picked it
This is the coat that looks like a coat, and it suits a dog walking the same wet field twice a day. Rosewood make it under the Joules name, a British high street label. The shell is water resistant, so it sheds a shower and adds a layer of warmth on a cold walk. It goes in the machine at 30 degrees, which matters once the mud arrives.

Why we picked it
The packaway is the whole idea. It folds into a compact pouch that lives in a coat pocket or a car door, which is how a raincoat actually gets used here. There is a hood for the worst of it and adjustable hook and loop fastenings for the hurry. Joules say the fabric is durable and water resistant, and the Henson check keeps it looking like clothing.

Spark Paws
Hooded Dog Raincoat
Why we picked it
This one runs from an adjustable neck wrap over the shoulders down to the tail, so the chest and neck stay dry along with the back. The hood sits clear of the eyes, and Spark Paws say the Breatheshield fabric lets heat escape while keeping rain and wind out. Side buckles do the fastening. Sizes run from XS to 4XL, which covers a lot of dogs.

Why we picked it
Mikki cut this one for doodles, and that shows in the shape as much as the name. It is a full four legged suit with sealed seams, so the legs and belly come home dry. The lining is silky to reduce the friction that knots a curly coat on a wet walk. It adjusts at the neck, waist and legs, takes a lead through the back and has a sanitary opening.

Questions people ask
Is a dog raincoat waterproof or water resistant?
Both do the job on a normal walk. Water resistant sheds a shower and the walk home, and it buys lightness in return. Waterproof with sealed seams is what you want for hours out in real rain, or for a coat that takes an afternoon to dry.
Does a dog raincoat need to cover the legs?
It depends on the coat the dog already has. Short, smooth coats shake off and dry quickly, so a back and sides raincoat is plenty. Long and curly coats hold water round the legs and belly, which is the job a full body suit is built for.
Can a dog wear a harness under a raincoat?
Yes, and the better raincoats leave an opening on the back so the lead reaches the harness underneath. Fit the harness first, then the coat over the top, and check the opening lines up before you set off.
How do I dry a dog raincoat?
Hang it up rather than tumbling it. Heat is what lifts a waterproof finish, and a hanging coat is usually dry again in time for the next walk. A hook by the back door keeps it in the right place.
