winter coats for dachshunds

Winter coats for dachshunds – extra protection especially for dachshunds

Dachshunds have little undercoat and, due to their body surface area-to-body mass ratio, cool down more quickly – especially along their long backs. Our winter coats compensate for this: The insulating layer reliably keeps them warm, while the wind- and waterproof outer fabric protects against sleet without restricting freedom of movement.

To ensure the coat fits securely, choose the coat length separately from the chest strap. This way, it sits securely against the body and won't slip sideways. The harness can be conveniently worn under the coat using the two-way zipper – quick to put on, stress-free in everyday life.

For increased safety during the dark season, all winter coats are equipped with reflective details. They also have the option ofOrbiloc safety lightto be attached directly to the coat –without additional accessoriesThis way, your dachshund will remain clearly visible even in the dark.

Practical care: washable at 40°C (gentle cycle). For permanent water-repellent properties and a protected outer layer, we recommend you clean the coat from time to time with theStormcare Wash and Waterproofing SetThis way, your dachshund's winter coat will stay like new for a long time – a perfect fit, comfortable, and ready for any winter adventure.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

Does a dachshund really need a winter coat?

Yes. Dachshunds have very little undercoat and are therefore naturally less well insulated against the cold. Additionally, small dogs like dachshunds have a larger body surface area relative to their body mass, causing them to lose heat much faster than large dogs. Combined with their long backs, this means that dachshunds cool down particularly quickly in low temperatures. A winter coat protects against cold and wet weather, prevents tension and joint problems, and ensures your dachshund stays alert and healthy even in winter.

Does a dachshund's winter coat slip when he runs?

No, our coats are specifically designed for the dachshund's anatomy, with its short chest and long back. Thanks to the separately selectable coat size and the correct chest strap for the correct chest circumference, the coat sits securely on the body without slipping or constricting at the sides.

Can I use the dachshund winter coat with a harness?

Yes. The two-way zipper on the back makes it easy to attach your dachshund to the harness—no fumbling or pressure points.

Does the dachshund winter coat have reflectors for better visibility?

Yes. All winter coats have reflective details for added safety in low-light conditions. Additionally, you can attach an Orbiloc safety light directly to the coat—no accessories required. This way, your dachshund remains visible, even when walking close to the ground.

How do I wash and care for my dachshund's winter coat?

The coat is machine washable at 40°C on a gentle cycle. To ensure the water-repellent finish remains active for a long time, we recommend the Stormcare Wash and Waterproofing Kit, which is available as an accessory here in our shop. This will keep the coat looking like new and provide long-lasting protection for your dachshund.
