Motion Fleece Vest Lightweight Dog Fleece Vest - Dust Mauve (USA)

This vest works as a mid-layer insulation piece, sitting between a lightweight fleece and a winter-grade fleece jacket in warmth. Recommended temperature use: 10–15°C wear alone for everyday walks; 5–10°C layer under a PETT2GO Raincoat or Windbreaker; below 5°C use mid-layer plus thick outer shell for best warmth retention. Note: We don't recommend long outdoor exposure for dogs in very low temperatures.

Both are appropriate — simply adjust based on weather conditions. Cool and dry day: wear on its own for everyday walks. Damp, rainy, or windy conditions: layer under a PETT2GO Raincoat or Windbreaker to block moisture and wind. The vest provides core insulation, while the layered system offers the best balance of warmth, wind protection, and moisture control.

It depends on climate and activity level. Long-haired dogs have natural insulation, but they can still lose heat quickly in certain situations: cold wind hitting the spine and chest, wet fur increases heat loss, senior dogs or dogs with lower activity levels, longer winter walks or hikes. The vest helps protect the spine and chest, keeping core body temperature more stable — especially in windy or damp weather.

Yes, it is machine-wash safe and built for durability. Washing instructions: gentle machine wash in cold water using a laundry bag; low-heat tumble dry or air dry; avoid bleach, ironing, or dry cleaning. The brushed fleece has passed durability testing and is resistant to pilling under normal use. Mild pilling from harness friction or heavy outer-layer rubbing is considered natural wear over time.

Yes — particularly for single-coated breeds (Greyhound, Whippet, Chihuahua), senior dogs, and small dogs under 5 kg that lose body heat faster than average. The vest's core insulation design specifically protects the spine and chest area where dogs lose heat most rapidly.

PETT2GO sizing is based on your dog's weight and coat length — not breed label.
