Top Dachshund Coats

Updated 02/02/2024 by Ava Jaine

Finding your Dachshund a warm coat that actually fits can be like looking for a needle in a haystack.  Doxies are extra long and extra short, so it can be tough to find Dachshund coats that can accommodate their unique build.

After extensive online research and thorough testing with my own doxies, I am thrilled to present the Top Dachshund Coats.

Do Dachshunds Get Cold Easily?

Most Dachshunds have thin fur, which doesn’t provide much warmth in the colder weather.  As doxies get older, they do have more trouble regulating their body temperature.

Do Dachshunds Need Coats in the Winter?

Yes, Dachshunds need a coat.  Dachshunds have less body insulation than other dog breeds. Dachshunds need extra warmth when it’s chilly outside. 

As a Dachshund owner, I know that they really don’t like being wet or cold.  They much prefer being warm and cozy – don’t we all!

 

Dachshund Clothing Features To Look For:

Whether it’s a cozy Dachshund sweater or warm winter coat you are looking for, there are many important factors to consider when choosing Dachshund clothes.

Not only should the coat or sweater cover the extra length of your doxie, but it also should have reflective material to be more visible, easy to put on your long dog, and machine washable.

  • Easy On / Off: Dachshund coats need to be easy to put on and to take off.  Dachshunds don’t mess around, if they don’t want it on, they will put up a fight.

  • Comfort:  Will the Dachshund keep the coat on and are they willing to walk in it?  If your doxie doesn’t prefer a tight fitted sweater, try a relaxed puffer coat instead.  Choose one made with soft material so your pup won’t feel itchy.

  • Durability:  Pick a coat that is going to be able to withstand different terrain without falling apart.

  • Clean up:  Go with machine washable dog clothes. Dachshunds are lower to the ground, so they do get messy.  Also, choose a dog coat that has a big enough opening on the bottom for potty access.

  • Visibility:  Choose a dog coat that is brightly colored or has reflective material to be more visible to other walkers and drivers.

 

Best Dachshund Coats:

#1 Choice: The DJANGO puffer coat is weather-resistant and has full coverage of your Dachshund’s extra long back. This Dachshund coat is legit for those chilly winter walks! It’s my all-time favorite, best Dachshund coat for winter and it lasts for years.

My piebald mini Dachshund, Eko (wearing the red puffer coat above) loves wearing this coat because he hates going out to potty in the freezing cold.  My Dachshund puppy, Gretta (wearing the purple puffer coat) enjoys romping in the woods and hunting squirrels in this coat.

The DJANGO puffer coat is designed with your Dachshund’s mobility in mind.  It has extra large arm holes for maximum flexibility and includes a leash portal in the back for easy access.

Mini dachshund wearing pink quilted dachshund coat

This cozy, quilted Dachshund coat is extra-long and literally covers your doxie’s entire back, even over the base of their tail. 

It is waterproof, windproof, and works great as a warm raincoat or winter coat. Features include a warm fleece lining and reflective piping. This Dachshund coat is machine washable, yay!

Note: We did manually add a lead slot for Gretta’s harness loops to come through, as it only had one for a collar.

 
mini dachshund wearing red jacket

This Dachshund jacket is waterproof on the outside, has warm fleece lining on the inside and an attached fleece snood (or dog hood) to keep your doxie’s floppy ears warm on a windy day.

It does cover my tweenie, Eko’s, extra-long back which is nice in the chilly winter weather.

Note 1: This Dachshund winter coat does have to go over your doxie’s head to put it on. So, if that’s a no go for your pup, stick with the Django puffer coat or quilted Dachshund coat style instead.

Note 2: The chest straps that secure the jacket need to be velcroed loose enough to allow your doxie free movement in the front. I use the back two straps instead of all three to allow a little more doxie leg room.

Note 3: We manually added a harness lead slot for Eko’s harness loops to come through, because it only had one for a collar.

Dachshund Fleece Sweater

This fleece Dachshund sweater is from whatsupdox.com.  It is made from velvety soft Cirrus™ fleece that provides the ultimate in comfort for those hard to fit weenie dog shapes. There are no closures or sleeves to trip over and it is made in the USA.

 

If you live in an area where it gets pretty chilly, I recommend getting your doxie a couple coats or sweaters to keep them warm and dry when going outside.
