Review on Winter Water Resistant Gooby Padded Vest Dog Jacket - Warm Zip Up Fleece Jacket for Small and Medium Dogs - Stylish Dog Clothes for Everyday Use by Tara Laven

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The vest is not machine washable

It is very difficult to put on a jacket for a dog. The increase in size means the average size is 25% larger than the small etc. So the average gooby in the chest on my 12.5 lb Havapoo is slightly larger (16.5 inches in the chest and 15 inches in the Length). I was more concerned with length than bust size. This vest is 12.75 inches long which so far hasn't caused my male dog to get his jacket dirty. I really liked this product. First, it has built-in suspension. This is perfect for me because my pup has long hair. If I leave him in the harness all day, his hair will get tangled. With Gooby my dog doesn't need a separate harness so I can keep it on all winter. Second, it's thicker than most other jackets. Yes, I know that fat doesn't necessarily mean warm, but in this case I think so. Third, I like the zipper at the top. There is a safety valve to prevent hair getting caught in the zipper. The velcro allows for a snugger fit but can get caught on my dog's long coat. Finally, it is very easy to put on. However, the zipper broke the first time it was washed in the washing machine (gentle cycle). The return date has already passed, but Revane allowed me to return and exchange the vest. So I just washed my second vest. Once again, the flash failed the gentle cycle. Revan gave me credit.

Pros
  • A good product for its price
Cons
  • The list will be long.
