Some dogs have a knack for finding each and every puddle during a wet morning walk. Other dogs, however, want nothing to do with getting wet. Either way, every dog has to make an occasional trip outdoors, and sometimes the weather just doesn’t cooperate. Whether it is rain, sleet, or snow, we don’t want to see our canine companions get wet at the hands of mother nature. Learn how the RainRover raincoat from HugeHounds can help keep your big dog dry in any weather.
Picking out a raincoat for your big dog
The primary purpose of a rain jacket for your dog is obvious – it helps keep your dog dry in wet weather. That, however, is not the only big dog benefit to consider. Raincoats keep your pooch warmer in wet, cold, and windy weather by keeping them dry. A rain jacket will also help ensure your big dog stays a little cleaner when the weather takes a wet turn. For those dogs who refuse to go outside in inclement weather, a raincoat can provide them a little extra security so they are willing to do their business outside.
Advantages of using a raincoat for your big dog
For large breed dog owners, the main advantage of owning a rain jacket for your dog is that it limits the amount of moisture and mud your dog carries with it into your home. Some dogs have coats that are naturally water resistant, others do not. For dogs that do not have water resistant coats, rain resistant clothing can reduce the amount of time (as well as the hassle) spent drying off a dog after a walk in wet weather. But even water-friendly breeds like Labs and wire-hair terriers, whose coats are generally impervious to getting soaked through, can benefit from wearing a rain jacket when it’s windy and cold. Just as with people, the right gear for the weather can make all the difference.
An added bonus for the dog parents: wearing a raincoat doesn’t just prevent your furry friend from getting drenched (which can leave them shivering and cold, and can weaken their immune system, just like us), but it also keeps them from shaking off that excess water inside the house when you both get home. That’s a win for everyone.

You will find it as easy to dress your dog from the comfort of your home as you do when you hit the road for your next adventure.
A big dog rain jacket helps eliminate that dreaded wet dog smell
Everyone knows that wet dogs can be smelly. It is a truth universally acknowledged that wet dogs are pretty stinky. Neither you nor your dog are to blame. If you’re looking for a scapegoat, blame science. You smell your dog (or anything, for that matter) when different molecules hit the olfactory sensory neurons in your nose. That funky wet dog smell actually comes from the yeast and bacteria that naturally live on your dog’s coat.
So what’s water got to do with it? When dry, these molecules don’t emit a scent. Water, however, breaks down the chemical bonds that hold them together, releasing a fog of musty molecules into the air. As water evaporates it also raises the relative humidity in the air surrounding your dog. Humid air can hold more molecules (warm air does this too, and together heat and humidity can have a compounding effect on smell), and the higher concentration of molecules in the air means more can make their way into your nostrils.

Why are HugeHounds products so important?
We get it! We are BIG! Our mom, like most other large dog owners, was frustrated walking into stores or shopping online to find NOTHING was made for big dogs. An extra-large raincoat or extra-large bed or extra-large winter coat or extra-large bowl was never really extra-large. It was still too small for us. Together, with our mom, we created HugeHounds – a one stop shop to find all things BIG and HUGE. A brand made specifically for us Big Dogs. And who knows BIG better than Two HUGE St. Bernard’s. So HugeHounds is super important! We are here to support our fellow Huge Hounds and in return to make the world a better place for us BIG guys and Gals! Expect BIG Things!
