``Canine Raincoats – Fashion Goes Functional``
April 17, 2009, ARTICLE, PRODUCTS
By Sandy Robins
Whether you enjoy walking downtown on a foggy day or jogging in the rain, a raincoat for your dog can be a functional and trendy fashion essential.
It’s not only a matter of offering protection from the elements. Many dogs have allergic reactions to acid rain and other airborne skin and coat irritants, and a well-fitting, lightweight rain jacket can protect against such problems.
Montreal-based raincoat designer Tara Brown of Poochie Kingdom styles her designs to fit breeds from the super-sized to tiny. Brown’s latest ‘Glitz and Glam’ range combines metallic gold and silver waterproof fabrics with fabulous prints. The coats are handmade and lined for comfort. And you can have something custom made, too. Available from

Offering an array of weatherproofing wear ensures dogs and their owners will be ready for whatever Mother Nature brings. Functional and Fashionable However, for customers who want functional items that fit well and adhere to the latest trends in design and fabrics, the market caters to them too. “It’s very possible to meet all these demands”, said Tara Brown, owner and designer for Poochie Kingdom, a Montreal, Quebec, Canada-based company that specializes in handmade raincoats for dogs of all sizes. Bright colors, such as red and yellow, as well as metallics and even black, are popular choices for rainwear. It’s one type of clothing that allows pet owners to have some fun-and brighten up rainy days. “But apart from the water-proofing aspect, raincoats are also an excellent choice of fur protection for dogs that suffer from airborne allergies and toxins in the air”, Brown added.

Host Hal Abrams interviewed one of Poochie Kingdom’s founder/designer, Tara Brown, live at the Global Pet Expo Friday, February 13th, 2009.
