Why Choose Bushdog
Questions About Our Dog Coats
Are Bushdog coats waterproof?
Our dog coats are built for Australian conditions, which means weather protection comes first. We use water-resistant canvas on most coats to keep your dog dry during light rain and drizzle, while still allowing the fabric to breathe. For heavy downpours, we recommend pairing with our waterproof overcoat option, designed with sealed seams and a durable outer shell. This ensures your dog stays warm and dry without overheating — even on long walks or during outdoor work.
How warm are Bushdog coats in cold weather?
Warmth is determined by more than just fabric thickness — it’s about insulation, fit, and wind resistance. Our coats use thermal lining to retain body heat, and the fit is designed to block drafts without restricting movement. Whether you’re heading out on a frosty early-morning walk or camping in the cooler months, our range of winter jackets and coats helps your pet stay comfortable, safe, and active.
Will a Bushdog coat work for all breeds and sizes?
Yes — every Bushdog coat is designed with adjustable straps, multiple sizes, and a tailored cut to suit a wide variety of breeds, from small working dogs to large guard breeds. The goal is to ensure a secure fit that doesn’t slip or bunch, even during running, jumping, or play. To find your dog’s perfect fit, simply measure their back length and chest girth, then compare with our size chart before purchase.
Do Bushdog coats include reflective strips for visibility?
Some Bushdog coats feature strategically placed reflective strips for extra visibility during early mornings or evening walks, especially in low-light areas. However, we deliberately avoid overloading every coat with reflective elements to maintain a clean, functional look. For owners who prioritise night visibility, we recommend pairing your dog coat with our reflective harness or collar-mounted LED lights for complete safety coverage.Answer Description
How do I care for my dog’s coat to ensure longevity?
Bushdog coats are made from high-quality, hard-wearing materials that are easy to maintain. Most can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth for daily dirt and mud, and machine-washed on a cold cycle for a deeper clean. Always close zips and Velcro before washing to prevent snags, and allow the coat to air-dry completely before storing. With proper care, your coat will remain functional and stylish for many seasons.
What’s the difference between Bushdog coats and standard pet store jackets?
Bushdog coats are designed with the same philosophy as premium outdoor gear — built to perform, last, and protect in real-world conditions. We use durable fabrics, reinforced stitching, and tailored fits rather than mass-produced templates. While many pet store jackets focus on looks alone, Bushdog gear balances style, safety, and performance, ensuring your dog can work, play, and explore in comfort.
Are Bushdog coats suitable for working dogs and farm life?
Absolutely. Many of our customers use Bushdog coats on farm dogs, hunting companions, and active working breeds. The materials are chosen to withstand rough terrain, wet grass, and cold winds, and the designs allow for a full range of motion. Whether it’s a kelpie in the paddock, a retriever by the river, or a cattle dog on a long ute ride, Bushdog coats are made to handle the elements without compromising your dog’s comfort.
