Top Dachshund Coats That Actually Fit
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 That Actually Fit!

Do Dachshunds Get Cold Easily?
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.

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.

This adorable and cozy, Quilted Dachshund coat is extra-long covering my doxie’s entire back- even over the base of their tail!
It’s waterproof, windproof, and works great as a warm raincoat or winter coat. The fleece lining keeps your pup cozy, while the reflective piping adds a touch of safety during evening walks.
Note: We manually added a lead slot for Gretta’s harness loops because the coat only comes with a slot for a collar.
I bought the warm Gooby Padded Vest Dog Jacket for my ‘tweenie’ Eko. It zips up and snaps in the back, with Dual D leash rings right on the outside of the coat – no need for a separate harness under the coat – which I love!
Since it’s a puffer coat, most of the warmth covers Eko’s chest and mid-belly but doesn’t extend all the way to the base of his tail.
The armholes are great for the short doxie legs – plenty of room for Eko to strut his stuff on walkies or leap through the snow. This Dachshund coat is water-resistant and super easy to put on and take off, making it ideal for quick trips outside.
Eko’s Size: Eko usually weighs in at 14-15 lbs. He wears a medium size Gooby Jacket, and it still has a little wiggle room.
This Dachshund jacket is waterproof on the outside, with a cozy fleece lining on the inside, and it has an attached fleece snood (or dog hood) to keep your doxie’s floppy ears warm on a windy day.
It fully covers my ‘tweenie’ Eko’s extra-long back, which is a big plus for chilly winter walks.
Coat Notes:
1. This Dachshund winter coat has to go over your doxie’s head to put it on. If your pup isn’t a fan of that, you might prefer the Django puffer coat or quilted Dachshund coat style instead.
2. Careful with the velcro chest straps – they need to be velcroid loosely enough to let your doxie move freely in the front. I’ve found using just the back to straps (instead of all three) gives Eko a lot more leg room.
3. We manually added a harness lead slot in the back of the coat for Eko’s harness loops because the coat only comes with one for a collar.
Keep your doxie warm and stylish with this soft, stretchy, knit sweater made with high quality acrylic yarn.
Perfect for lounging indoors or walking outdoors when it’s chilly. The sweater covers about 3/4 of your Dachshund’s back length.

My Dachshund puppy, Gretta, loves her new striped hoodie from Django. Whether we are on a hike or lounging on the couch for tv time, it’s the perfect fit for doxies.

My Dachshund, Eko, is wearing a very stylish, grey and red tartan coat from Dachshund Couture (pictured above). This came all the way from Munich, Germany! A Dachshund wearing a coat from Germany – how awesome is that?
This handmade Dachshund coat is a stylish and sleek design. It is easy to put on and take off with two velcro attachments in the front of the chest and under the chest. This sweater is lightweight and covers my Dachshund’s entire back all the way down to the base of his tail.
These adorable coats from Dachshund Couture come in many sizes for small Dachshund puppies through adult Dachshunds. My Dachshund looks very sharp in this high quality doxie coat.
Embark Wax Dog Jacket will definitely keep your doxie warm and cozy this winter. Made from cotton and polyester, this Dachshund jacket is durable and water resistant with a classic look and feel.
Coat Note: Embark recommends hand washing this jacket instead of machine washing to keep the waxed finish.
The Blizzard Dachshund Parka from Noodle and Friends is specially designed for Dachshunds. The parka provides full chest coverage and has a warm inner layer made from 3M thinsulate. The outer layer of the parka is waterproof and the liner is thick microfleece – so cozy.
Whatsupdox Fleece Dachshund 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.

Hi, I have a female mini Dachshund with very little legs. Finding it hard to get jackets for her as her legs come out all the time. Can you recommend a jacket for her. She has very little hair on the under belly and feels the cold. Live in Melbourne
Many thanks Lesley
Hi there, I recently found some adorable Dachshund sweaters online on whatsupdox.com. This looks like it should cover more of your dachshund’s underbelly. I hope this helps, take care. :)
Hi Ava Jaime, I have to agree with Irene in regards the bare under belly with 90% of dog coats. I have a 18mth old female Dachshund that I have had great difficulty finding a coat that is long enough and cover her bare belly. She has destroyed 3 coats so far which were too tight fitting because of her length and where the legs were located. I would like to hear of any coats that will fit her length and cover her belly. Cheers
Hi Michele, Thanks for your comment. So far, the best one I can recommend is the DJANGO Puffer Dog (created by fellow dachshund parents), which covers a good amount of dachshund back length, under chest and mid belly area. I will definitely keep searching for more coats that cover the belly for the females doxies though.
Here is another dachshund fleece sweater you could try, this may help cover more dachshund tummy. What’s Up Dox Fleece Dachshund Sweater.
Hi,
Thank you for all of the information.
We live in Madison, WI, (northern midwest) cold and often snowy winters.
I suggest that you include more coats/sweaters which cover the mostly fur-less underside. This is of course easier for a female dog.
Cont.
I am sorry for the loss of your dearest dog, Reno. 2.5 years ago our 18 yr old died, we now have a 2 yr old.
Hi Irene, Thank you, I do appreciate your kind words. Wow, 18 years old, sorry for your loss as well. I bet your 2 year old doxie keeps you busy, haha. Take care. :)
Hello Irene, Thank you for the suggestion. These dachshund coats cover the upper part of the dachshund’s chest underneath and have an opening around the lower belly for a mess-free potty time.
I agree though, covering more of the doxie’s lower belly would be warmer for them…it’s a tough one for these pups who are lower to the ground and need warmth and an opening for going potty.
Some dog coats that cover too much of the under belly often get peed on or drag on the ground and get muddy. But, I will continue to look for more coats that would help out the female doxie’s.
