The design of a dog raincoat suitable for short-nosed dogs to breathe smoothly should focus on the reasonable structure of the head and neck area to avoid compressing the respiratory tract, while also taking into account overall comfort and functionality. The specific design points are as follows:
Head design
The wide-brimmed transparent brim is adopted: This design not only prevents the head from getting wet by rain but also does not block the view, ensuring that the short-nosed dog’s view is not affected when walking in the rain, thereby reducing the tension and shortness of breath caused by blocked view.
Detachable hat design: The hat is connected to the main body of the raincoat through snap fasteners and other means, making it convenient to disassemble or install it according to actual weather conditions and usage requirements. When rain protection is not needed, the hat can be removed, allowing the short-nowed dog’s head to be more free and breathing to be smoother.
Neck design
Loose collar design: The collar should be kept loose to avoid putting pressure on the neck of the short-nosed dog. The collar can be made of soft elastic materials, which can fit the neck well without being too tight, ensuring smooth breathing.
Adjustment device design: Equipped with adjustable Velcro or snap fasteners, it is convenient to adjust according to the neck circumference of the short-nobed dog, making the raincoat fit better without affecting the neck movement.
Material selection
Lightweight and soft materials: Choose lightweight and soft waterproof fabrics, such as thin nylon or polyester fiber materials, to reduce the burden of raincoats on the short-nobed dog’s body and avoid affecting its movement and breathing due to hard or heavy materials.
Breathable materials: Under the premise of ensuring waterproof performance, choose materials with a certain degree of breathability to allow short-nowed dogs to better dissipate heat when wearing raincoats, reduce the feeling of stuffiness, and help maintain smooth breathing.
Overall layout design
Loose fit: The overall fit of the raincoat should be loose to avoid overly tight designs that restrict the body movement of short-nosed dogs. The loose fit enables short-nosed dogs to walk and run more freely, reducing breathing difficulties caused by physical limitations.
Reserve sufficient space for movement: Reserve adequate movement space in areas prone to friction such as the armpits and hips to ensure that the short-nosed dog is not restricted by the raincoat when moving around, allowing it to freely stretch its body and maintain a normal breathing rhythm.
