Delta wool dog coat

Why choose a wool dog coat?

Wool has three amazing properties: it warms, insulates, and breathes. Keeping a dog's muscles warm before and after walks and training can prevent injuries and help with faster recovery. This way, the dog's body does not need to use unnecessary energy to maintain its body temperature.

A wool coat is excellent between heats in hunting trials and is useful for all dogs, regardless of breed. Older dogs, dogs with injuries or arthritis, which often have poorer circulation and get cold more easily, will especially benefit from a wool coat. Nobody likes being cold! Wool should be the first choice for any dog on cold winter days or damp days. Feel free to place your hand under the coat to check if the dog is cold or warm.

Even though the dog coat is not waterproof or windproof, it offers outstanding warmth and comfort. Wool is soft and gives the dog good mobility, making it ideal both in the car on cold days and before or after training and walks. It is naturally antistatic and resists odors better than synthetic materials, which makes wool coats hygienic and practical to use.

Unsure which size to choose?

See the size guide in its own tab.

You measure the dog from just in front of between the shoulder blades to the base of the tail (in front of the tail when you hold it up). Unlike other coat brands, the measurements provided for the Delta Dog Coat are the cm-length from the adjustment at the neck to where we consider the base of the tail to be. The coat should lie well down and be tightened at the back, so the number of centimeters from the adjustment at the neck to the end is more than the cm-measurement given for the size. This means that for size M (45 cm), the full length of the coat is approximately 55 cm.

How to wash and care for a wool dog coat?
The great advantage of wool is that it is in many ways self-cleaning and sustainable, but there are several things you should be aware of when washing and caring for it.

• We recommend shaking it out and airing it outdoors in fresh air for a couple of hours. Dirt usually does not penetrate the wool fibers but settles on the surface.

• When washing, we recommend machine washing using a wool cycle at 30 degrees with a dedicated wool detergent.

• Wool products should be washed separately for the best results.

• Preferably avoid hand washing, as it can be difficult to regulate the temperature and remove residues of soap and dirt compared to machine washing.

• Spin-drying also helps the wool fabric dry faster and provides poorer conditions for bacterial growth.
