If you live with dachshunds you know how wet and dirty underneath they can get, all year round. It’s pretty much unavoidable given their low slung body shape, with a tummy just inches off the ground. One of the things that inspired us to start Barkmatic was to solve the ‘underneath’ problem. Off the shelf dog raincoats and winter coats just don’t fit dachshunds without major customisation, which gets a little tiresome after a while. Our driving passion is to design dachshund coats that cover the chest and underside, and offer good protection underneath our dachshunds as well as over their back. Our custom-fit service delivers the right fit, right first time. Here’s an outline of our two of the most popular coats on our online shop for year-round tummy protection for your dachshund.

One of the exciting things about welcoming a new dog into your household is trying out the adventures and new experiences you can have together which are fun not just for you but also for your dog. This is equally true whether you are welcoming a puppy or younger dachshund, or adopting a rescued dachshund whose history and experiences are unknown. If you love being outdoors and active there’s an endless list of activities you and your dachshund can share, some of which play to their breed-specific skills and others which are just plain fun.
