Nanaki Fleece Dog Vest
A pullover fleece sweater for small to medium dogs who need an extra layer in cold, rainy, or snowy weather. The slip-on design has no zippers or buckles, with a hook-and-loop strap on the belly to dial in the fit. Available in pink, black, and red across XS, SM, and L.
Sizing and fit
Available in XS, SM, and L. The adjustable hook-and-loop belly strap lets you snug it in for narrow chests or loosen it for stockier builds, which helps if your dog falls between sizes. Measure neck, chest girth, and back length, then compare against the size chart before ordering. Best suited to small and medium breeds such as Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Pomeranians, Shih Tzus, and small French Bulldogs.
Materials and build
Made from soft fleece fabric chosen for warmth retention and a non-scratchy feel against the coat. The pullover construction has no metal hardware, so it won't catch long fur around the neck or shoulders. A reflective stripe on the back adds visibility during early-morning or evening walks.
Is it warm enough for winter?
The fleece is suited to cool fall days and mild to moderate winter weather. For dry cold and indoor layering, it works as a standalone. In heavy snow, sleet, or sub-freezing temperatures, layer it under a waterproof shell, since fleece is insulating but not water-resistant.
How to clean it
Machine washable. Wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors, and air dry or tumble dry low to keep the fleece soft and prevent shrinkage. Skip fabric softener, which can mat the fleece pile over time.

Frequently asked questions
What material is the Nanaki fleece dog vest made from?
The vest is made from fleece fabric, a synthetic knit textile that traps warm air close to the body without adding significant weight. Fleece does not absorb water readily, which makes it a practical choice for damp winter walks, though it is not fully waterproof in heavy rain.
How do I measure my dog to pick the right size between XS, SM, and L?
Measure your dog's girth (the widest point of the chest, just behind the front legs) and the back length from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. The adjustable hook-and-loop belly fastener adds some flexibility across the girth, but if your dog falls between sizes on back length, size up rather than down to avoid restricting movement around the shoulders.
Is the pullover design safe for dogs who dislike things going over their head?
The pullover style means the garment goes on over the head with no zippers or buckles that could snag fur, but it does require your dog to be comfortable with head-first dressing. If your dog is anxious about this, desensitize slowly with treats before the first full attempt — there is no alternative front-opening version in this product line.
Can puppies under 6 months wear this vest safely?
Young puppies can wear it as long as the fit is snug but not compressive — you should be able to slide two fingers flat under the belly fastener. Very young or small-breed puppies may fall below the XS size range, so confirm measurements before ordering. Supervised wear is always advisable with puppies who are still prone to chewing on fabric.
Is this vest safe to use at night or in low-light conditions?
The vest includes a reflective stripe, which improves visibility to drivers and cyclists in low-light or dawn and dusk conditions. It is not equipped with active lighting, so for high-traffic nighttime walking a clip-on light is still a practical addition.
How do I wash the fleece dog vest without it pilling or shrinking?
The vest is machine washable. To reduce pilling, wash inside out on a gentle cycle in cold water and avoid fabric softeners, which can mat fleece fibers over time. Tumble dry on low or air dry flat — high heat can cause the fleece to shrink slightly and may weaken the hook-and-loop fastener adhesion.
Which dog breeds and weight ranges does each size typically fit?
Without the manufacturer's exact measurements, use girth and back length as your primary guide rather than breed name, since body proportions vary widely even within a breed. As a general reference, XS tends to suit dogs roughly under 10 lbs (think Chihuahua, toy Poodle), SM fits approximately 10–20 lb dogs (Miniature Schnauzer, Pug), and L is geared toward dogs in the 40–60 lb range (Labrador mix, Boxer), though the belly fastener provides adjustment room of roughly an inch or two on either side of the target girth.
