Rocketdog Winter Coats in Standard Sizes

No matter the size, or breed, of your dog we can make coats to fit  in both our Ready to Wear Rocketdog Winter Coat or DIY Rocketdog Winter Coat Kit. There are six standard sizes to fit most breeds. We also offer custom sizes.

Measure your dog to find the three vital sizes before deciding on the size or deciding if you need a custom sized coat or kit. (The neck and chest straps are adjustable.)

  • An Extra Small coat fits most small breeds, but not the Toy or Tea Cup breeds.
  • The Small size Ready to Wear Rocketdog Winter Coat and DIY Coat Kit fits a dog that is long and lean. At one year old a Basset is quite athletic and thin in the body. 
    • These are the measurements for the Small Sized Winter Coats and Kits:
    • The Back length is 16 inches, measured from the base of the neck to the top of the tail.
    • The Chest (the distance around the dog just behind the forelegs is eighteen inches and can be adjusted as small as sixteen inches and as large as 20 inches).
    • The Neck is 14 inches and can be adjusted to thirteen inches or fifteen inches as needed.
  • The Medium sized Ready to Wear or DIY Coat kit fits a dog that is a bit heavier than a puppy, but still not fully grown. At two years old Bassets deepen in the chest and bones get heavier, but they are still quite athletic and sometimes a bit thin, so a Medium coat will fit best. 
    • The Back length is 18 inches.
    • The Chest is 20 inches and is adjustable two inches smaller or larger.
    • The Neck is 16 inches and is adjustable one inch smaller or larger.
  • The Large sized Ready to Wear or DIY kit fits a dog which is full sized, but perhaps hasn't gained its final weight. At three years old Bassets become true adults and stop growing a larger frame, but they are usually still quite athletic and a bit larger. So a large coat works really well for most adult Dogs. 
    • The Back of a large coat is 20 inches.
    • The Chest of a large sized coat is 22 inches and can be adjusted to fit two inches larger or smaller.
    • The Neck size is 18 inches, but is adjustable one inch larger or smaller. 
  • The Extra-large Coat or DIY Kit fits a larger dog. After three years old Bassets begin moving around less and sleeping more. For some, not all, the extra-large size is the right fit later in life. 
    • The Back Length is 22 inches long and this may be a bit longer than some dogs need. 
    • The Chest is also 28 inches and can be adjusted as large as twenty-six inches or as small as twenty-two inches. 
    • The Neck size is 22 inches and is adjustable one inch larger or smaller.
  • If your dog doesn't seem to fit any of these sizes then send us measurements and we can make a custom sized Ready to Wear Rocketdog Winter Coat or DIY Rocketdog Winter Coat Kit.
