Rain-Ready: The Best Gear for Big Dogs Who Don’t Mind Getting Wet (But Shouldn't Have To)

Puddle-Jumping Tips from Sadie & Martin of HugeHounds.com

Let’s be real—rainy days are no excuse to skip your walks (believe us, we’ve tried). But for us big dogs, heading out into the drizzle without the right gear? That’s a recipe for soggy fur, muddy bellies, and a whole lot of post-walk cleanup.

I’m Sadie, your Saint Bernard and official puddle-splasher-in-chief here at HugeHounds, and this is Martin, my pint-sized partner with big opinions and a very tiny raincoat. Together, we’re sharing our rainy day must-haves—because big or small, we all deserve to stay dry, safe, and stylish when the clouds roll in.

Why Rain Gear for Big Dogs is a Big Deal

Most people assume we big dogs can handle anything—and while we can conquer most things, we’re not exactly waterproof.

Rain can mean:

• Soaked fur that takes hours to dry
• Mud-caked paws and bellies
• Risk of chills and skin irritation
• Slippery sidewalks and less control on leash

That’s why we created a line of XXL dog clothes and rain gear for large dogs built specifically for plus-sized pups like me.

The Rain Rover: XXL Dog Rain Coats That Actually Fit

If you've ever tried to squeeze your big pup into a "large" from the pet store, you already know—not all dog clothes are created equal.

Our Rain Rover Extra LARGE Dog Raincoat is built for big bodies and serious weather:

• ✅ Deep chest and long back coverage for full protection
• ✅ Adjustable belly and chest straps that fit even over our fluffiest coats
• ✅ Harness opening so you can clip your leash with ease

And yes, it’s waterproof, not just "kind of water-resistant." This isn’t just cute—it’s functional.

Harness Up: Safety in the Rain Starts with the Right Fit

Slippery sidewalks, excited dogs, and poor visibility? Yeah, rainy days are not the time to test out a flimsy leash setup.

That’s why our walks always start with a heavy duty dog harness. The HugeHounds Big Dog Walking Harness that we recommend is:

• Made for dogs 90–250 lbs (me!)
• Fully adjustable to go over rain gear
• Durable and secure—no shifting, pulling, or snapping
• Glove-friendly (because humans get cold, too)

Whether you’re navigating city streets or muddy trails, a large dog harness gives your hooman better control and gives you the freedom to enjoy your walk—without choking or slipping out.

Matchy-Matchy with Your Smaller Sibling? You Bet.

Martin and I might not match in size, but we do love a good coordinated look. Our sibling-sized rain gear in in production and matching harnesses are made for multi-dog households where big and small go paw-in-paw.

So yes—you can be dry, safe, and stylish together, no matter your size.

Final Word from the Wet Dog Club

Rainy days don’t have to be miserable. With the right XXL dog clothes, a heavy duty dog harness, and proper waterproof coverage, you can make the most of every walk—even when the sky’s falling.

At HugeHounds, we believe gear should fit your dog—not the other way around. And rainy days? They’re just another excuse to show off your gear and splash through life.

Now if you’ll excuse us—we see a puddle with our names on it. ☔
