What is the Mix & Match system?
You can select your dog's coat size separately by measuring your dog's back length and chest circumference. This ensures that the coat fits your dog correctly and doesn't slip.
Do I need to order a chest strap separately, or is it already included?
You can customize our coats for your dog by combining different coat sizes and chest measurements. This also means that in the configurator you always need to select and order a coat section and a chest strap.
What is the difference between olive and olive branch?
Olive Branch is a different shade of olive. It is slightly lighter than the olive shade of the products from the 24th collection.
Does the fleece pullover have a zipper on the back?
No. Henry is designed to fit closer to the body than our other coats. You can wear a harness over our sweater.
I already have a chest band. Can I order a coat without one?
Yes, if you already have a chest band, you can also order our coats without one.
To do this, go to our configurator and select "I don't want a chest band" when choosing the chest bands.
My size is sold out. Could you please let me know when it's back in stock?
For all current products, you can sign up for our availability service. Simply go to your desired product, select your size, and click "Notify me when available" below. Enter your email address and click submit. As soon as your desired size is back in stock, you will receive an email from us.
Do all chest strap types fit all coats?

Customize your coat to suit your needs.
What is the difference between a waterproof chest strap and a waterproof and lined chest strap?
The chest band for winter coats is additionally insulated on the inside, with the same insulation as our winter coats. Both chest bands are waterproof and made from the same outer fabric as our coats.
Does the Oskar winter coat also protect against rain?
Yes, the Oskar winter coat is waterproof and therefore provides optimal protection against cold and rain.
How do I put your coat on my dog?
After attaching the chest strap to the coat, pull the coat over your dog's head once, guide the chest strap between your dog's front legs, and attach the wings of the chest strap to the sides of the coat.
How do I find out which loop size fits?
The measurement given for each size is the circumference of the loop. You can find the correct size by measuring your dog's neck circumference. The rule of thumb is: neck circumference plus 5 cm equals loop size.
Example: Your dog has a neck circumference of 32cm. Then add 5cm and you get the loop size ML with up to 40cm.
Have you changed the sizes of the coats?
At the end of 2024, we changed the sizes of our coats and chest straps. If you have a coat from our first collection, please note that the old size will no longer fit. For example, if your dog has a back length of 57 cm, you would have worn size 8 before the change; now you need size 6. Therefore, please remeasure your dog's back length and chest circumference according to our measuring guide and then select the new size from the size chart.
