I have 3 chihuahuas. I read reviews that suggested to order a size up, so I did. I am returning all 3 for the next size down. The M was too big for my 8-lb chihuahua who usually wears a size 12 (for body length) in coats. The size small fit him perfectly (but the color I ordered was for one of the other dogs so he can't keep it ;) ). The size S was waaay too big for my other two 6-lb chihuahuas. So I will have ordered them XS. I should have just trusted the size chart (which is always risky, too). Despite my error in ordering the wrong sizes, this coat is EXCELLENT quality! The fabric, the stitching, the hood - all looks very sturdy. I am very pleased with the quality of these coats! And the colors are spot on relative to the photos (I ordered blue, green and cream). Highly recommend.

UPDATE:Our trip went great and my little dog was super warm the entire time. The temperature ranged from 10'-30'F with strong winds and snow and ice. The hood stayed up the entire time, even in the wind, and the water merely rolled off the coat. I couldn't be happier with this purchase!!!

I purchased this coat in an XS to take my 5lbs Chihuahua to Eastern Europe in the winter. I'm super impressed with this little coat and am confident she will be warm while wearing it with a sweater underneath. We've already worn it around town and are stopped constantly to be told how adorable she looks! The fur on the hood is of excellent quality and my favorite thing is that the hood stays up keeping her little head warm! The arms of the coat cover her legs about halfway down and the length of the coat goes all the way to her tushy. The fabric is of high quality and appears to be water and wind resistant. The little pocket on the back is an actual functioning pocket. The only slight negatives are that the coat is a darker beige than shown in the picture and the neck area is a little snug. This is a great coat for the price!

Sizes run BIG so buy 1 size smaller than the size chart says you need.

We have an old Maltese. This coat truly helps to keep him warm. It repels water pretty well but we have more snow than rain. The hood is removable which was important for us. Highly recommend.
