About: De-O-Ge Gear Dog Harness Coat Company
The De-O-GE Gear Dog Harness Coat design protects against cool or inclement weather while adding the benefits of a pet friendly harness. You won't find a dog coat that is easier to use. With the Harness Coat, two simple clips and the dog is ready to go. Our Harness Coat incorporates sturdy clip fasteners. We do not use hook and loop fasteners (like Velcro®) as they may sometimes, become worn and then fail. The use of the Harness Coat provides control of your pet without pressure on the throat. The Harness Coat can be used with or without your favorite collar or choker. There are many coats and sweaters on the market designed to provide warmth and fashion but they fail to work appropriately with a harness and they can be cumbersome to use. Some products do not easily allow your dog to relieve itself without soiling the garment. The Harness Coat is completely open on the underside. Our unique product design avoids rubbing or chaffing and is warm, lightweight and comfortable for the dog while providing a ring for quick hook up and release of a leash by the caregiver.
It is not recommended by the De-O-Ge Gear Harness Coat Company, that a dog be left alone or exposed to the elements for extended periods, while using this product.

4 Types of Coats
The coats come in a variety of styles and functions. There are 4 basic types:
|
|
Warmth Coat
We use two different types of fabrics for the warmth coat shells. Some are made of fleece, which naturally repels water and snow, the others have corduroy outers, both have faux lamb wool linings. This was our original coat, designed to protect your dog while keeping him comfortable, warm, and dry.

Rain Coat
 All rain gear fabrics are water resistant and provide comfort to your dog when out in inclement weather, These coats are lined with 100% cotton flannel. They provide warmth without being too hot.
Water Repellency
Polyester and acrylic fibers are hydrophobic by nature. This means that they retain little water. With the technology of micro-fibers (fine denier yarns), these fabrics repel water by construction. Durable water Repellent or DWR, a semi-permanent substance, is applied to the surface of some mid-weight and heavy weight fabrics to further repel moisture.

Cooling Coat
Our "Cooling Coats" are made using the finest quality 100% Cotton Chenille with 100% Cotton Flannel lining. The Cooling Coat, was conceived at a dog show where dog owners dipped towels into cold water to lay over their dogs to keep them cool, thereby temporarily reducing stress on long, hot days. They can be used as described above but, are also great for use when spending long hours in the hot sun. These coats can also be used for keeping dogs warm, or for after bathing as a spa coat, which will help prevents chills, and keep their coats clean. They also have a medical benefit by providing protection to the dog from chewing its HOT SPOTS or, where you may have applied some medication, or if the dog has lost its hair for various reasons. There are many reasons to use the Cooling Coat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: 1. What is a Harness Coat? A: A Harness Coat, as the name implies, is a dog harness and a dog coat, all-in-one. It is very simple to put on.
Q: 2. Why does a dog need a Harness Coat? A: There are many reasons dogs should have a Harness Coat:
- A harness has many features; it not only holds the dog safe and secure, unlike a simple collar, it also prevents undue pressure on the pet's throat, which may cause problems as the dog ages.
- Dogs need coats because they are typically kept indoors. When they go outside they face the same elements humans do and they need protection to stay warm and dry. Your pet will be less likely to catch a cold, which could be transferred to family members.
