Do Dachshunds Need Raincoats?
If you ask the internet whether Dachshunds need a raincoat or not you’ll find all sorts of conflicting options, but the simple answer is: no, they don’t need a raincoat.
They might like a raincoat, because they don’t like getting wet. Or you might like them to wear a raincoat, because you don’t like them getting wet. But that’s entirely optional, as all our dogs are perfectly capable of getting by without a raincoat!
When Should I Put A Coat On My Dachshund?
When making decisions about our pet’s clothing, their comfort should always be the top priority.
You can put a coat on your Dachshund if your dog is cold and is comfortable wearing a coat.
At any time, if your dog looks uncomfortable when wearing a coat, or even while you try to put the coat on, it’s best to not force them to wear it.
If in doubt, have a chat to your dog trainer or local vet. It’s always best to discuss these topics with someone who’s more familiar with your individual circumstances, rather than reading blanket answers you’ll find across the internet.
