The Luxe Waterproof Dog Coat 250g in Burgundy is a warm winter coat with built-in tummy and chest protection, a waterproof and breathable 600D ripstop outer and a zipped harness hole. For UK owners who want a dog coat with tummy protection to keep muddy undercarriages cleaner on wet walks, it offers rich colour, real warmth and 14 sizes from 25cm to 90cm at £32.99.
If your dog comes home from every walk with a soaked, mud-caked belly, you'll know how much time goes into towelling, rinsing and mopping. Most traditional dog coats only cover the back, leaving the underside open to spray from wet grass and puddles. This guide looks at how the Luxe 250g Burgundy handles that, what else it offers, and how to choose the right size.
Why choose a dog coat with tummy protection?
A dog's underside takes the brunt of wet weather. Long grass, puddles and muddy paths all splash upwards, and short-legged dogs in particular can end up drenched underneath even on a short walk. A coat with tummy and chest coverage helps in a few practical ways:
- Cleaner dogs at the door. Less mud on the belly and chest means less cleaning when you get home.
- Drier underneath. Keeping the tummy and chest covered helps your dog stay drier on wet walks.
- Warmth where it counts. Many dogs have thinner fur on their tummies, so extra coverage adds comfort on cold days.
It's particularly handy for dogs who are low to the ground, enthusiastic puddle-jumpers, or anyone with a light-coloured dog that shows every speck of dirt.
Key features of the Luxe 250g Burgundy coat
Tummy and chest protection
The headline feature for many owners. The coat is designed to help keep your dog dry and clean underneath, not just along the back.
250g thermo filling
The 250g filling is intended for cold winter days and chilly weather, giving plenty of warmth without making the coat feel bulky. Despite the insulation, the overall design is lightweight so your dog isn't weighed down.
600D ripstop, waterproof and breathable outer
The shell is a durable 600D ripstop fabric that's waterproof and breathable. Ripstop weaves are designed to resist small tears spreading, which is reassuring for dogs who like to push through brambles.
Zipped harness hole
If your dog walks on a harness, the zipped opening lets you clip the lead on through the coat. Zip it closed when it's not needed.
Reflective strips and binding
Burgundy is a deep, rich shade, so the reflective strips and binding help improve visibility in low light.
Adjustable belly fastening and elasticated leg straps
The adjustable belly fastening makes it easy to get a secure, comfortable fit, while the elasticated leg straps help keep everything in place as your dog moves.
Which dogs suit a burgundy winter dog coat?
The Luxe 250g Burgundy is a strong choice for:
- Low-slung breeds such as Dachshunds, Corgis and Bassets, whose tummies are closer to wet ground.
- Dogs with light-coloured fur that shows mud easily.
- Short-coated and slim dogs who feel the cold in winter.
- Harness-walked dogs, thanks to the zipped harness hole.
- Owners who want something a little different to black or navy. Burgundy is warm, classic and looks smart with leather and tweed accessories.
Every dog is an individual. If you're unsure whether your dog needs a coat or how warm it should be, your vet or groomer can offer guidance based on your dog's coat and health.
Prefer a lighter option for wet but mild days?
The same Luxe coat comes with a 0g fill for milder, rainy weather. The Luxe Waterproof Dog Coat 0g in Burgundy keeps the colour and the protective design but without the insulation, so it's useful in spring and autumn.
How to choose the right size of waterproof dog coat
Because this coat wraps underneath your dog, getting the length right helps the tummy panel sit where it should. Measure from the base of the collar to the base of the tail.
- Stand your dog naturally on a flat floor.
- Measure along the spine from the base of the collar to the base of the tail.
- Choose the matching size between 25cm/10" and 90cm/36" (in 5cm/2" steps).
- Check your dog's measurements against our size guide before ordering.
When fitting, make sure the chest and tummy panel sits comfortably without pressing on the legs, and that the belly fastening is snug but allows two fingers underneath. For male dogs, check the tummy coverage sits comfortably and doesn't get in the way when they need to toilet. If you're unsure, contact us before ordering and we'll help.

Keeping your coat clean after muddy walks
A coat that catches mud will need cleaning now and then. These simple habits help:
- Remove the coat promptly after walks and hang it up so it can dry inside and out.
- Brush off dried mud from the tummy panel before washing.
- Zip the harness hole and fasten the straps before putting it in the machine.
- Machine wash at 30°C with a gentle detergent.
- Air dry naturally rather than on a radiator.
To keep paws as clean as tummies, pair the coat with our Waterproof Non-Slip Dog Boots on the wettest days.
