Horselands loves this dog rug from Weatherbeeta. It is not only a great rug for our dogs, but it also uses up some waste plastic bottles. Plastics are incredibly useful materials but they don’t belong in our soil, lakes, rivers or oceans. Plastic waste is one of the most pressing problems our planet faces. We need to find uses for this waste to prevent it from being dumped in the environment.. The Green-Tec dog coat uses recycled plastics for the outer fabric and lining and includes great features:
- 900 denier plain weave PCR outer made from recycled bottles that is both waterproof (Hydrostatic Pressure test 2000 plus) and breathable (Moisture Vapour Test 3000 plus)
- Strong 150 denier diamond weave lining PCR fabric made from recycled bottles
- Light 50g polyfill
- Wrap around freedom front with touch tape closure and arched legs for freedom of movement
- Darts at the back of the coat to provide a contoured fit
- Reflective piping and strips for added safety in the dark
- Adjustable touch tape belly closure
- Harness hole for added convenience
Also available in a Lite Plus Horse Cover!

Owners who have dogs with a thick or double coat may be more inclined to choose a lighter weight option. However, if you live in a climate with cold winters, even a little polyfill in a coat can provide your dog added warmth and protection.
WHAT SIZE?
Please follow these simple steps as a guide to select the right size coat for your dog.
1. Measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail
