Mackey Thermo Quilted Dog Rug with Belly Strap

Mackey Thermo Dog Rug — Quilted Warmth That Moves With Your Dog

The Mackey Thermo Dog Rug is a quilted dog coat made from a high performance acrylic and wool blend fabric that helps maintain your dog at a comfortable temperature during exercise or rest. It is best for yard dogs, walking companions and short-coated or older dogs that need an extra layer in cold weather without being restricted while they move.

The fabric moulds to the dog's shape for a snug fit, and the combination of a hook and loop front closure with a belly strap keeps the rug secure whether your dog is out on a hack, waiting at the lorry or settling in the stable block. It is machine washable, which matters when the dog has spent the morning in the school with you.

How to Use

1. Measure your dog along the back from the base of the neck to the base of the tail, and measure the girth just behind the front legs.
2. Choose the size that matches the back measurement most closely.
3. Lay the rug over the dog's back so the front edge sits at the base of the neck.
4. Fasten the hook and loop closure across the chest so it lies flat and does not press on the throat.
5. Pass the belly strap underneath and adjust it so two fingers fit easily between strap and dog.
6. Check the fit after a few minutes of movement and readjust if the rug has slipped to one side.

FAQ

What is the Mackey Thermo Dog Rug made from?
It is made from a high performance quilted acrylic and wool blend fabric, which moulds to the dog's shape for a snug fit.

How do I choose the right size?
Measure along the dog's back from the base of the neck to the base of the tail and match that to the size options. Also check the girth behind the front legs so the belly strap sits comfortably — most exchanges happen because the rug is too short at the back or too tight at the chest.

Can my dog wear it while exercising?
Yes. The rug is designed to help maintain a comfortable temperature during exercise as well as at rest, and the hook and loop closure with belly strap keeps it in place while the dog moves. Remove it if your dog shows any sign of overheating.

Is it machine washable?
Yes, the rug is machine washable. Fasten the hook and loop closure before washing so it does not catch on the fabric, wash at a low temperature and allow it to dry naturally.

Will it stay on an active dog?
The front hook and loop closure and the adjustable belly strap work together to hold the rug steady. Adjust the belly strap snugly, leaving room for two fingers, to stop the rug twisting.

Is it suitable for short-coated breeds?
Yes. Short-coated breeds, slim breeds such as lurchers and whippets, and older dogs that feel the cold typically benefit most from a quilted thermal rug of this kind.
