With the beginning of the rainy season, we decided to give you some additional help when choosing the right Pomppa raincoat for your dog.
As not all of you can come to visit our stand to try the coats with your dog, here is a shopping guide to help you choose the right size and type of Pomppa raincoat for your dog when ordering online.
The most important thing when choosing the size is that the coat doesn’t disturb dog’s natural movement and dog feels comfortable in the coat. When choosing a coat for active outdoor use, it is important to choose the size that fits well on the waist. For slower activities and waiting in place, the coat can be a bit bigger.
Pomppa has available 2 different types of coats. Choose the coat according to the activity and type of your dog. Watch the video guide below for useful tips & tricks on how to choose the right coat or size for your dog (for English, turn on the subtitles).

Is Sade Pomppa or Kevyt Pomppa the best choice for my dog?
Dogs with undercoat like e.g. border collies do not need a coat for running in the rain or wind to keep them warm. However, in many cases it makes sense to keep them dry – perfect job for Sade Pomppa:
During a cool-down walk in the rain after training, you want their muscles to cool-down gradually. Having a wet dog sitting in the car after the training is guarantee for muscle spasms, etc.
After a walk in the rain, you don’t have a wet dog inside of your house for the next several hours. It saves you time and towels trying to get your dog dry.
You can easily fit the light raincoat in any backpack & use it when bad weather surprises you during a summer hike.
On the other hand, dogs with no undercoat and less body fat need a little thicker raincoat to keep them dry & warm during rainy days. In this case, Kevyt Pomppa is the perfect choice.
Measuring your dog
When measuring, your dog needs to be in standing position, back bone as straight as possible. Measurements are taken firmly from the dog. If a dog has thick fur, it should be considered by leaving a bit of space in measurements.
BACK – Measure back length from neck to base of the tail. The starting point in the neck is in the confluence of neck and back columns.
NECK – The circumference of the neck is measured from the same point as the beginning of the back measurement. This dimension is only used for JumppaPomppa.
CHEST – The circumference of the chest is measured at the widest point of the dog’s chest.
WAIST – The circumference of the waist is measured behind the chest from the narrowest point of the dog
