Our largest size will fit a dog UP TO 35 LBS depending on their body shape. We recommend measuring the circumference of the largest part of the chest and follow the chest sizing. Please size up when between sizes.
- Stretchable Knitted Bottom - We made the bottom opening large enough so it doesn't get in the way of your pet when going to the bathroom. Bomber jacket dog coats with Stretchy knit bottom ensures a perfect fit. Allowing for expansion the dog jackets for small dogs can accommodate all shapes, including broad chested dogs such as French Bulldog and Boston Terriers.
- Pain-Free Zipper Guard - No more skin or fur pinch with the Zipper vest closure located on the top of the dog vest, making it easy to put on and off. Just step in to the fashion vest and zip up with ease. The zipper guard on the back prevents hair from getting stuck while zipping up.
- Dual D-Ring Leash Attachment - Apart from being well insulated and cute, you can also attach a leash onto it without the need for a harness. Two D rings are attached to the back of the vest for short walks without having to wear an extra harness. For safety reasons we recommend limiting the usage if your dog pulls or is planning on a long walk.
- Step-In Design for Small Dogs - Step-in. Zip-Up. Ready to go. Easy to put on and perfect for overly excited dogs or pets sensitive to pullover apparel. Our dog winter coat fleece jacket provides warmth. Gooby Fashion Vest is cut on the bottom such that dogs can urinate without soiling the vest.

Overall, I highly recommend this brand for any pet!

- Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2024Size: X-Large chest (~20.5")Color: Yellow CheckVerified PurchaseAs the review title states, the XL is a perfect fit for our 25 lb. Corgi. Don't go purchasing thinking it's a raincoat, because it's not. It will keep the dog dry to a point, but the coat does get a big soggy and requires being put in the dryer after rain exposure. Pretty easy to put on, the dog prefers it to her prior raincoat, the rings negate the need for a harness and she looks good in it. All in all, we're quite satisfied.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2019Size: X-Large chest (~20.5")Color: Green CheckVerified PurchaseI waited until I had used this vest more than a few times and so far, it's worked very well. My dog "G" has got to be part whippet or greyhound judging by her structure. She wandered up one day and after searching for the owner for weeks, we decided to keep her. I haven't regretted it for a minute.
So, since a regular collar wasn't ideal for this dog, my wife was the first to buy a harness, then a slip-over vest, then another and another. "G" didn't like any of them. So, I searched and searched until I found this Gooby Vest. I was a little worried about the sizing since she's not exactly 'normal'. Well, it fit well over her body and gives her plenty of room to move without being too loose. The material is soft and looks comfortable to me and has 'stretchy' material (like a sweater) on the bottom to ensure a good fit. The rings on top for a leash are perfect and I don't see any problem with how they are attached. Looks strong. I like that because it keeps the leash on top instead of one side or the other although, as you can see, there's plenty of room for a collar too if you want. The zipper seems like it's strong and will last, and just so you don't have trouble zipping it with a wiggling dog, there's a snap button at the top to lock it around her neck. From there it's no problem zipping. Personally, I like this vest but, I'm not so sure "G" is sold on it.
She allows me to put it on her but, she really doesn't want it, which by the way is how she acts with ALL of her vests/harness etc.. Plus, when I take it off you'd think she had been wrapped in a blanket or something. She's FREE!! The only thing that I think might bother her is the material around the front leg holes which is bundled up inside around the hole. If I was wearing it I think in might bother me but, who knows why she isn't pleased. Also, instead of the leg holes she might like something that's more like a 'throw' over her and would allow her underneath to be free. Of course, I'm just guessing plus something like that would require a different hook up, like a real collar with it. The only way to know for sure is to buy all kinds of jackets/vests/throws and just see what happens. Well, that ain't going to happen. For now, this Gooby Vest is the one she'll need to get used to because it's the best of the many that I have, and it's the one I'm going to use. So, suck it up "G".
My biggest objection was the price compared to most others but, as you can see, it's the one I'm going to use. Make up your own mind about that. My rating is 5 stars. "G's" rating is 3 stars ("G" gives 1 star for all the rest)

- Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2025Size: Large chest (~17.25")Color: GrayVerified PurchaseGreat fit on a French bulldog that is more petite then average but yet accommodates a bigger chest
- Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2025Size: Medium chest (~14.5")Color: PinkVerified PurchaseI am very impressed with the quality and design of this dog jacket. The zipper is heavy duty and has a flap underneath to keep your dog's fur from getting caught. There is also a snap at the neck which serves to hold the jacket in place while you start zipping. The belly of the jacket is black, which is great for a small dog with short legs that tends to get her undercarriage dirty. The belly of the jacket is warm and stretchy. I would definitely order this brand again.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2019Size: Medium chest (~14.5")Color: Green CheckVerified PurchaseThis is a very well made good looking vest. However, I measured my dog and ordered according to the sizing chart. I ordered a large. When it came it was huge! It said a large was for a 16 1/2” chest. My dog is 16 1/4”. It is as so big she could walk out of it. I returned it and ordered the medium. It is tiny! One person said it had a 15” back. Well, this one has an 11” back. It lacks 4” of making it to the base of her tail. It is so tight around her neck she won’t move in it. This one is half the size of the large. It’s way too small. I hate buying and returning stuff. I don’t know what I’m going to do with it but my 8 lb miniature dachshund can’t wear this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for smaller dogs
Size: Medium chest (~14.5")Color: OrangeVerified PurchaseI tried so many different brands for my 2 Malteses, never finding a ‘perfect’ fit, they would be too big in the chest but right in the length, or right in the chest but not long enough or even too long and would get wet when he peed. This brand is as ‘perfect’ as it’s going to get for my 2, so much so that they have 3 different levels of jackets from this brand in several different colours each. This one is particularly forgiving as the underside has a bit of a stretch so even if your dog is on the margin, like my male one in the chest, he can still wear this size and not worry about covering his male parts if he had to size up. Top quilted side is water resistant but the underside not so much, not that we take them out when it is pouring outside. The d-rings for leash attachment are enough for us as mine are not strong pullers. Zippers on the back makes it easier to put on as it’s feet in first, the strip of material under the zip ensures you don’t catch their fur when you zip up. For under a tenner when offers are on, you can’t go wrong for quality and fit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well made, fits well.
Size: Large chest (~17.25")Color: Green CheckVerified PurchaseThis is a well made cozy jacket for my little guy. His neck is 12", chest 17", length 14", he weighs 12 lbs. I purchased the large size. The jacket fits perfectly, except for the neck, which I knew would be a bit large. No problem though I was able to snug it up by just threading a length of black wool through it, and gathering the neck in some. We have cold winters I believe it will keep him warm when he goes out to do his business, in other words for short trips out in the cold winter. Have purchased a different, heavier one for blowing snow and walks on the coldest days. I am very pleased with this purchase. Thanks Gooby for making this for small dogs, and thanks Amazon for carrying it!
Update: We now have had this jacket for 2 years. Have washed it several times and use it often in the cold weather. It is still wonderful, looks just like it did when we first got it. Thanks again Gooby!

5.0 out of 5 stars Comfy, Cute, and Functional
Size: Large chest (~17.25")Color: Red CheckVerified PurchaseMy 13lb Miniature Schnoodle takes a size large. This sweater looks great and fits well. The zipper closure on the back makes for easy in and out and the hooks for the leash are very secure. I love the Gooby products largely for these hooks so that I do not need to put my dog's harness over or under his sweater. I live in Canada and this seems to keep my dog warm even down to zero Celsius. I use this for fall for him, it's not waterproof so we switch to the parka once snow hits.
