The Hurtta Beetroot Expedition Dog Parka is a top pick for dogs in cold weather, whether it's a short stroll or a big adventure. It's specially made for short-haired dogs and those without an undercoat, but it also works great for all dogs in chilly conditions. This parka offers extra warmth, perfect for agility dogs after a workout or older or less healthy dogs that need a bit more heat.

The waterproof and windproof soft elastic segments on the front move flexibly with your dog. You can adjust the neckline, back length, and collar circumference for a perfect fit.

**Measuring Your Dog:**
1. Back length: Measure from the withers (not the collar) to the base of the tail with your dog standing normally.
2. Neckline: Measure at the base of the neck, the widest part. The parka's neckline can be adjusted to fit a smaller neck.
3. Chest: Measure at the widest part of the chest, behind the front legs. Make sure the parka's chest is wider for freedom of movement.
Using the Hurtta Beetroot Expedition Dog Parka is easy. First, measure your dog's back length, neckline, and chest to find the right size. Once you have the parka, adjust the neckline, back length, and collar circumference to fit your dog comfortably. Put the parka on your dog like you would a regular coat, making sure it covers the chest and key muscle groups.
When your dog is wearing the parka, keep an eye on them to make sure they're comfortable. The parka is breathable, but if your dog seems too hot, you might want to take it off. Also, check the 3M reflectors regularly to make sure they're still visible for safety.
To maintain the parka, follow the care instructions on the label. Usually, you can machine wash it on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Let it air dry to keep the material in good condition. With proper use and care, this parka will keep your dog warm and protected for a long time.
