The best dog raincoats you can get under $20 right now

Gabrielle LaFrank

As the cooler — and often rainier — months of the year roll around, many of us are unpacking raincoats, waterproof boots, and other wet-weather gear. While you’re organizing your seasonal wardrobe, you should consider adding a dog rain jacket to your collection, too.

Although many pups don’t mind a little rain, it can become a lot more annoying — and even harmful to their health — to spend a ton of time outside in a storm. Even just a walk can be enough to give your furry friend a chill, so a rain jacket for dogs will be both a smart and rewarding purchase. Here are a few of our most affordable favorites:

Good2Go Reversible Dog Raincoat in Blue

This cool coat is everything your pup needs to stay dry while on walks or potty breaks — it’s even reversible! One side features a fresh teal color with a storm-cloud print around the waist, while that same stormy fabric can be found on the reverse side of the jacket. The front of this dog raincoat uses a Velcro-like material to stay fastened, so you know it’ll be easy to get on and off.

Pros:

  • Two cute reversible fabrics in one jacket.
  • Water resistant and reflective.
  • Leash port with cover flap for when not in use.
  • The front of the body is covered.

Cons:

  • Water resistant instead of waterproof.
  • Customer reviews mixed about Velcro quality.
  • Customers report inconsistent sizing.

HDE Dog Raincoat Hooded Slicker Poncho

As Amazon’s No. 1 Bestseller in the “dog raincoat” category, this pooch-friendly weather jacket offers more than simple water protection. The lightweight polyester fabric makes it easy to wear and to fold up for packing or storage. It’s available in four sizes and 16 different prints, so your dog can be as cute as she is comfy.

Pros:

  • Adjustable belly strap makes the size of the jacket forgiving.
  • Lightweight, waterproof, and reflective material.
  • Includes a hole for the leash to attach through.

Cons:

  • The front of the body and legs are exposed.
  • No snap to keep hood secured to jacket when not in use.
  • Customers report that the material can slide around when worn.

Frisco Rubber Ducky Dog Raincoat

Raincoats just got a whole lot cuter with this rubber ducky raincoat. With its seven sizes to choose from and easily adjustable Velcro bands around the chest and tummy, nearly any dog can fit in it, too. Just like any good dog raincoat, this one will keep your dog’s entire back, neck, and head dry in wet weather, especially when you use its attached hood.

Pros:

  • Seven sizes make this jacket available to nearly every dog.
  • Designed to make raindrops roll off the jacket instead of soaking in.
  • Includes a lining for two layers of protection.

Cons:

  • Only one fabric print is available.
  • Water resistant, not waterproof.
  • Sizes run larger than described.

Petsyards Pet Raincoat Packable Hooded Dog Rain Jacket

For pups who live in extra-wet places, a durable raincoat is of utmost importance. The Petsyard raincoat fastens just as any other jacket does — with Velcro — and has two closing straps for maximum security. The attached hood even has a clear material for maximum visibility!

This dog rain jacket is both made of waterproof material and coated with polyacrylate (a waterproof sealant). Even though the hood has a little extra fabric, this coat can fold up into a neat 8.3-by-4.7-inch pouch.

Pros:

  • The hood features clear fabric for maximum protection and visibility.
  • The jacket folds into an easy-to-carry pouch.
  • Sealed for extra waterproofing.
  • Seven sizes available.

Cons:

  • Only two colors (blue and yellow) and zero patterns to choose from.
  • Sizing charts are off, according to customer review.
  • No reflective material.

Any of these four highly reviewed dog rain jackets will be a great pick for your pup, so don’t stress about your choice! Most canine coats can be forgiving in size as well, which gives you some leeway when trying to find your dog’s ideal size. Worse comes to worst, it might take some trial and error to find the exact fit you’re looking for, but it will be so worth it!

Can dogs eat celery? The do’s and don’ts you should know
Your pup will probably love a veggie snack now and then

Your dog's favorite snacks might include dog biscuits, fancy chews, or even that bacon you dropped on the floor one time, but can dogs eat celery? The truth is lots of dogs like veggies, even bland ones such as celery. While you wouldn't want this green and healthy nibble to become a staple in their diet, you can absolutely give your pup a celery snack now and then — and they might grow to love it.

Can dogs have raw celery?
As omnivores, our pet dogs need a balanced diet of both meat and plants. That's likely because their domestic history made them into scavengers thousands of years ago when our ancestors were still in the hunter-gatherer phase. In modern times, this diet preference has huge benefits because you can throw in some healthful treats that will give your pup a nutrition boost and keep them full.

How to help your dog if they have a seizure

Witnessing a seizure can be jarring, especially if you never have before. You may feel scared and helpless if the person is a stranger at a restaurant or a friend or family member. What if that friend or family member is of the furry variety? The experience can take on new layers — you're supposed to care for and help a dog, but you have no idea what to do.

Your best bet is to call the vet if your dog has never had a seizure. Should the veterinarian's office be closed, an emergency hospital is equipped to handle seizures in dogs. If your dog is prone to seizures, your vet likely gave you instructions on what to do — follow them. However, perhaps you're in the lobby waiting for answers, trying to make sense of what happened. Alternatively, maybe you're a pet parent-to-be who wants to be prepared for anything and everything. This guide to seizures in dogs can help.
