Cold affects dogs more than temperature alone

Even long-haired dogs lose heat rapidly at the spine and chest. The Motion Fleece Vest's core insulation is engineered to protect exactly these areas.

🌄

Cold Mornings

Built with premium, weather-resistant fabrics that stand up to the elements.

🧣

Resting Warmth

Heat production drops sharply when activity stops. Lightweight fleece maintains core warmth at rest — camping breaks, car rides, waiting on trail.

🧅

Mid-Layer System

The fleece vest is the core mid-layer in the PETT2GO Layering System. Pair with the Raincoat or Windbreaker to handle cold, rain, and wind simultaneously.

🐕

Short-Coat & Senior Dogs

Single-coat and senior dogs regulate temperature less efficiently. The vest's core insulation keeps them comfortable and active in cold conditions.

WHY PETT2GO

Lightweight warmth. Zero compromise on movement.

Run-Free Cut™

Unrestricted movement. Every stride.

The high-neck, short-body cut is purpose-built — hind legs extend fully, no bunching at the rear. 4-way stretch moves with the dog, never against it.

Anti-Static Brushed Fleece

Thermal warmth. No static. Smooth fur.

Soft brushed interior traps body heat. Anti-static finish keeps fur smooth in winter dryness. Smooth exterior resists light wind and moisture.

Layering-Compatible Build

Wear alone. Or layer under a shell.

10–15°C: wear alone for daily walks. Below 5°C: layer under the PETT2GO Raincoat or Windbreaker — same size fits directly over, no adjustment needed.

Find Your Dog’s Size

Short-cut design. Fit based on weight & chest girth.

Motion Fleece Vest uses a shorter, mobility-focused cut, so selecting size is mainly based on:

  • Weight (primary reference)
  • Chest girth (most important fit point)

If your dog has worn PETT2GO Raincoat or Windbreaker, you can usually choose the same size for this vest.If your dog is between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

How thick is the vest? What temperature range is it designed for?

10–15°C: wear alone for daily walks. 5–10°C: layer under a PETT2GO Raincoat or Windbreaker. Below 5°C: use mid-layer plus a thicker outer shell. Note: We don't recommend long outdoor exposure for dogs in very low temperatures.

Can it be worn on its own, or does it need a shell?

Both are appropriate — adjust based on conditions. Cool and dry: wear alone. Damp, rainy, or windy: layer under a PETT2GO Raincoat or Windbreaker for best warmth and protection.

Is the Motion Fleece Vest waterproof?

No. The fleece vest is designed for warmth and breathability, not waterproofing. In rain or wet conditions, layer the PETT2GO Breathable Raincoat as the outer shell.

Do long-haired dogs need it?

It depends on climate and activity level. Long-haired dogs have natural insulation, but cold wind and wet conditions still cause rapid heat loss at the spine and chest — especially in senior or low-activity dogs. The vest protects exactly these core areas.

Is it machine-washable? Will it pill?

Yes, machine-wash safe. Gentle cold cycle in a laundry bag; low-heat tumble dry or air dry flat; avoid bleach, ironing, or dry cleaning. The brushed fleece has passed durability testing and resists pilling under normal use. Mild pilling from harness friction is considered natural wear.

How do I find the right size?

Sizing is based on weight and chest girth — not breed label. The high-neck, short-body cut is sized by weight and chest, not back length. Use the size guide on the product page to measure neck and chest for the most accurate fit.
