This flannel-lined blanket really must work; my short-haired dog was really unhappy on winter walks before we got it, but now she wants to stay outside just as long as she does in the autumn. It runs large, though: I started with an XL (my dog measures 24 inches from neck to base of tail, matching the XL description), but it was enormous--way too big to stay on her body. She's a lean dog, though. The Large fits perfectly despite being only 20" long. The seams seem well-constructed, and the lining is soft. It's reversible, with reflective striping on both faces. Be warned that the flannel lining can create some static build-up.

I could not believe how quickly I received the dog coat it's really nice! The flannel lining inside is very soft, and the outside is totally waterproof. Unfortunately, I ordered it a bit too big for my pitbull, so I gave it to a friend who has a large doberman Heidi loves her new coat! It can be very difficult to find coats for large dogs, especially affordable ones that last this is a great buy!

I should start by saying that my dog weighs about 60 pounds, and is about 22 inches from his shoulder to his rump. So, he's right in between a large and an XL according to the specs of this product. I first ordered the large, which I had to return. I could get the size large on him, but overall it was not long enough. The belt hit him around his ribcage rather than his waist, so the velcro ends of the belt overlapped by only an inch. I returned the size large because the belt was straining at his ribcage and it seemed likely to open when he moved around. Then I ordered the size XL. Unfortunately, it was too large for him. Even when I closed the chest velcro as tightly as it would go, it was still way too large, which caused the coat to sit further back on his torso. This meant the belt hit him at the smallest part of his waist, and the velcro belt was too large (not to mention that the belt was in the path of pee stream here.) But I did like the look and feel of the coat, and my buddy loved having it on, so I altered it by shortening the chest flaps with some creative sewing. This solved the fit problem. Overall, I'd say sizing could be an issue with this product. Perhaps there is not much demand for coats to fit dogs the size of my mutt, but I wish there had been a size between large and XL. I like the materials of the coat, and it seems to be very comfortable for my dog. One note about the materials is that the reflective strip wasn't attached very well and the 3 or 4 inches closest to the neck started dangling within the first week of wear.

Honest reviews on Zack & Zoey Nor'easter Blanket Pet Coat - Chive

I ordered this coat for my dog becasue its suspose to be a great coat for much colder places. when i did order i was expecting i would have to resize the neck and tummy straps since i have to do that many times with other coats. when i came in the mail i took it out and put it on my dog so i can start to adjust it before we need it. i was so happy becasue it was perfect for her. She is oddly shaped for coats since she is a muscle dog (pitt bull) She is so cute and i cant wait to use it this winter.

This is the 2nd blanket I purchased for my German Short Hair. She plays HARD! This blanket stays put even when she wrestles with the larger labs. I really like the reflective tape on it, as she does go out at night,and sometimes ventures toward the road. The fact that it is reversable is like having 2 blankets. There is a small rip in it already, probably from barbed wire on the farm, but it hasn't frayed at all,and I will patch it. I haven't washed it yet, but I am confident it will look like new when I do. Mud wipes off the nylon side. I feel this is a great value for the money!!
