The Luxe Waterproof Dog Coat 0g in Black is a lightweight, no-fill waterproof coat that keeps dogs dry on wet days without adding unnecessary warmth. With a 600D ripstop outer, tummy and chest protection, a zipped harness hole and reflective strips, it's an ideal dog raincoat for UK spring, autumn and mild, rainy winter days, available in 14 sizes from 25cm to 90cm at £29.99.
Not every wet walk is a cold one. A lot of British rain falls on days that are mild, muggy or just a bit grey, and a heavily padded coat can leave an active dog too warm. A good raincoat solves that: it keeps the rain and mud off without the insulation. Here's how the Luxe 0g Black does it, who it's for and how to choose the right size.
Why choose a dog raincoat instead of a padded coat?
A padded coat is brilliant on frosty mornings, but on a mild, drizzly day it can be more than your dog needs. A no-fill raincoat focuses purely on protection from the elements:
- Keeps your dog dry on rainy walks, so there's less towelling at the door.
- Avoids overheating on mild days, particularly for active dogs.
- Feels lighter, which many dogs find more comfortable.
- Extends coat season into spring and early autumn, when a padded coat would be too much.
The Luxe 0g is designed for exactly these conditions: spring and autumn, rainy days and milder wet weather, when your dog needs to stay dry without overheating.
Key features of the Luxe 0g Black waterproof dog coat
0g, no-fill design
With no filling at all, the coat is ultra-lightweight and provides weather protection without adding bulk or warmth.
600D ripstop outer
The outer is a durable 600D ripstop fabric designed for everyday adventures. Ripstop weaves are built to resist small tears spreading, which is handy for dogs who like to explore hedges and undergrowth.
Waterproof and breathable
The shell keeps your dog dry while allowing moisture to escape, so they stay comfortable underneath.
Tummy and chest protection
Many raincoats only cover the back. This one also protects the tummy and chest, helping keep your dog drier and cleaner underneath.
Zipped harness hole
Put the coat on over your dog's harness and clip the lead on through the zipped opening, or zip it closed if your dog is on a collar.
Reflective strips and binding
Black is sleek and practical, but hard to see in the dark. Reflective strips and binding increase visibility in low-light conditions.
Adjustable fit and easy cleaning
An adjustable belly fastening and elasticated leg straps keep the coat secure, and it's machine washable at 30°C.
Which dogs suit a lightweight waterproof dog coat?
- Active dogs who run, retrieve and warm up quickly.
- Thick-coated breeds who don't need extra warmth but still come home soaked.
- Dogs who hate the rain and are reluctant to go out in wet weather.
- Muddy-walk regulars, thanks to the tummy and chest coverage.
- Harness-walked dogs, with the zipped harness hole.
- Owners who want a sleek, neutral look that goes with any lead or collar.
If you're unsure how much warmth your dog needs at different times of year, your vet or groomer can advise based on your dog's coat type, age and health.
0g or 250g: choosing between a raincoat and a winter coat
The Luxe coat is also available with a 250g warm filling for colder conditions. As a rough guide:
- Choose 0g for mild, wet days, spring and autumn, and dogs who run warm.
- Choose 250g for cold winter days, frosty mornings and dogs who feel the chill.
Many owners keep both: the 0g for most of the year and a warmer coat like the Luxe Waterproof Dog Coat 250g in Hunter Green for the depths of winter.
How to measure your dog
Measure from the base of the collar to the base of the tail.
- Stand your dog naturally on a flat surface.
- Run a soft tape 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" (5cm/2" steps).
- Check your dog's measurements against our size guide before ordering.
Once on, the coat should lie flat along the back, the tummy section should sit comfortably, and the harness hole should line up with your lead attachment. If you have any questions about sizing or choosing between the 0g and 250g versions, we're happy to help.

Care tips for your dog raincoat
- Shake it off and hang it up after every wet walk so it dries properly.
- Wipe away mud with a damp cloth between washes.
- Zip the harness hole and fasten straps before machine washing at 30°C.
- Avoid fabric softener, as a general precaution with waterproof, breathable fabrics.
- Air dry away from radiators and direct heat.
Wet weather means wet paws, too. Our Waterproof Non-Slip Dog Boots help protect feet on soggy, slippery walks.
