Different weather and different adventures call for different coats. Check out our Compare Coats page to see the differences in our warm wear and rain wear.
The Expedition Parka and the Extreme Warmer have both been designed to keep warm and protect your dog’s key muscle groups. Both jackets cover the legs, bum, and belly with waterproof surface material that is soft and comfortable.
The Expedition Parka is a perfect basic winter jacket which covers your dogs back and biggest muscles. The shell material of this jacket is made of very durable fabric.
The Extreme Warmer is the warmer jacket of the two as it has heat reflective foil lining, which gives significant additional warmth for the dog by reflecting the dog's body heat back. The jacket also has a hood which can be used to cover the dog’s ears. For dogs who get easily cold the Extreme Warmer would be a better choice because it offers better coverage than the Expedition Parka.
If you keep your dog's favorite apparel and gear in good condition, it will perform better and last longer. We recommend washing your dog’s clothes at least once or twice a year or when switching from one season to another. We also recommend washing the product when it becomes dirty. Here is a link to the Hurtta websites Care Instructions: https://www.hurtta247.com/care-instructions It’s very important to wash the product according to its care instructions and let it air-dry properly before putting it away in between seasons. If you pack and store dirty or damp product, it most likely starts to smell.
If the product starts to smell after using or while storing it, first thing to do is to wash it by following the product’s care instructions. Dirt from outdoor adventures, oil from the dog’s skin or dog’ hair can be the reason for the smell. If the product still smells after washing and drying it, we recommend airing it up outside.
If these tricks won’t help, there are special odor removers for clothing on the market. It is important to check that the odor remover is suitable for waterproof outdoor clothes. We also recommend trying the odor remover first in a small area to avoid e.g. stains on the fabric.
