Description

A sherpa fleece vest for smaller dogs, with the zip down the back instead of over the head and two metal rings beside it, so the lead clips to the vest and there is no harness to fit over the fleece.

Most winter mornings with a small dog involve two pieces of kit: a coat, then a harness over the top of it. This vest carries its own pair of metal rings on short webbing loops, one either side of the zip, so the lead goes straight onto the vest.

The zip runs the full length of the back rather than the chest, which means the vest goes onto a standing dog instead of over its ears – the part most dogs object to. A tall sherpa collar stands around the neck, both front leg openings are bound in soft knitted rib, and a gathered elastic band across the belly takes up the slack between builds.

Outside is a dense sherpa pile; inside is a smoother fleece lining. There are no sleeves, no hood and no rear coverage – it is a vest, cut to cover neck, back and ribs and leave the rest of the dog free. It is a warm layer, not a rain layer.

Six sizes run from a chest of about 14 in up to about 24 in. Measure around the widest part of the chest, just behind the front legs, and read the chart from there – chest is the measurement that decides the size.

Care & cleaning

Spot-clean or wipe down with a damp cloth, then hang to dry away from direct heat. Skip bleach, softener, and ironing.

Shipping & returns

Free shipping across the US & Canada by air express, tracked door to door. Orders ship from our warehouse in Guangdong, China, dispatched within 1–2 business days; most orders reach your door 4–12 business days after you order, the same window in the US and Canada.

We also ship to our other supported destinations for a flat US$9.90, free when you order two or more items. Delivery estimates vary by destination; see our shipping policy. TuckTrail covers applicable import duties, import taxes and customs clearance charges. If a carrier asks you to pay an import charge, contact [email protected] before paying, or send your receipt if you have already paid.

Returns are free for 30 days — we email a prepaid label, so it costs you nothing. Outside the US and Canada there is no local prepaid label, so we settle the return with you by email. Exchanges ship free both ways too: sizing down costs nothing, and if the size you swap to costs more, you pay only the difference. Trying the fit on your dog at home is fine; that is what the 30 days are for.

Arrived damaged or defective? That is a return too — same prepaid label, full refund or a free replacement. Just add a photo of the problem when you start the return.

Getting ready

It goes on over a standing dog

The zip runs the whole length of the back, so nothing has to be pulled over the ears or past the face. A front paw through each rib-bound opening, one pull up the spine, and you are done - which matters most with the dogs who have learned to walk away when a coat comes out.

Heading out

The lead clips to the vest itself

Two metal rings sit on their own short webbing loops, one either side of the zip. On a cold morning that is one layer to put on instead of two, with nothing flattening the fleece where a harness strap would cross it. They are a clip point on a coat rather than a tested pulling anchor, so a dog who really leans into the lead still wants a proper harness underneath.

The cold block

The walk you would otherwise skip

Small dogs lose heat fast, and the short loop round the block is the first one to get dropped when it is below freezing. Both front leg openings are bound in soft knitted rib rather than a cut edge, so the part that sits in the armpit is the part that gives, and the vest keeps its place stride after stride.

Waiting outside the shop

The five minutes standing still

Sitting on a cold pavement while you finish an errand is colder than walking. The vest covers neck, back and ribs down to a gathered elastic band across the belly, and the collar stands rather than lying flat, so it stays where you put it while the dog sits.

After the snow

Dense outside, smooth against the coat

The outer face is a dense sherpa pile and the lining is a smoother fleece that slides over a dog's own coat instead of dragging at it. It is a warm layer and not a waterproof one - in real rain this is the wrong coat.

On a bigger dog

Not only for the very small ones

The largest size takes a chest of about 24 in, which covers a lot of beagle- and terrier-sized dogs. Chest is the measurement that decides the size; back length only tells you how far down the body the vest reaches.

The real thing.

Size guide

Find their size.

Measure back length from the base of the neck to the base of the tail, and chest girth at the widest point just behind the front legs. Between two sizes? Choose a larger size only if the neck, back, sleeves and belly opening still fit without dragging or restricting movement. If measurements conflict, ask us to check the fit or choose another cut.

Size	Back length	Chest girth	Neck girth
S	9.4 24	14.2–15.7 36–40	13 33
M	11 28	15.7–17.3 40–44	14.6 37
L	12.6 32	17.3–18.9 44–48	15.4 39
XL	14.2 36	18.9–20.5 48–52	16.9 43
2XL	15.7 40	20.5–22 52–56	18.5 47
3XL	16.9 43	22–24.4 56–62	19.7 50

A girth printed as a span is the range that size adjusts to, not a tolerance — anywhere inside it is the right size. Land near the bottom of a span and you have room to let it out later.

Go by measurements rather than weight alone — builds vary a lot between breeds. If the fit isn’t right, you have 30 days to swap: sizing down is free, sizing up costs only the price difference, and we cover the shipping both ways.

Good to know

Common questions.

How do I measure my pet for the right size?

Measure back length from the base of the neck to the base of the tail while your pet stands naturally, and chest girth at the widest point just behind the front legs. Compare both against the Size guide above.

What size dogs does it fit?

It is charted in 6 sizes (S–3XL) for a chest girth of 14.2–24.4 in. Confirm the remaining published measurements and sleeve and belly clearance too. A dog whose chest measures more than 24.4 in is past the largest size.

My pet is between two sizes. Which should I choose?

Do not automatically size up. Compare all published measurements, including sleeve and belly clearance. A larger size is an option only if the remaining measurements still fit without dragging or restricting movement. If they conflict, ask us to check the fit or choose another cut. Try the fit indoors before use.

How do I get an anxious pet used to wearing it?

Let them sniff it first, then start with short indoor sessions with treats before the first walk in it. Most pets settle once they connect it with going outside.

How should I wash it?

Follow the Care & cleaning panel above, then hang to dry away from direct heat.

What if the size is wrong?

Swap it within 30 days, no reason needed — we email a prepaid label and ship the new size as soon as the carrier scans your return. Sizing down is free; sizing up costs only the price difference. Or send it back for a full refund.
