For active medium-sized dogs, staying visible is just as important as staying dry, especially when the weather takes a turn for the worse. The Ancol Muddy Paws All-Weather Stormguard Coat in Hi-Vis is the gold standard for owners who want professional-grade protection and maximum safety. This is the Medium size, featuring a 40cm length, which is the go-to fit for breeds like Westies, Cocker Spaniels, or Beagles—dogs who love to explore the undergrowth but need to be easily spotted at all times.

The “Stormguard” name isn’t just for show; this jacket is inspired by professional mountaineering gear. The outer shell is a heavy-duty, waterproof and windproof material that acts as a fortress against rain and biting gales. But what truly sets this version apart is the vibrant Hi-Vis yellow fabric. Whether you are navigating a foggy woodland or walking along a dim country lane, your dog becomes an unmistakable beacon of safety. To ensure total peace of mind, the coat is finished with reflective piping that catches every bit of light from car headlamps and streetlights.

A major advantage for medium breeds is the integrated chest protector. Because these dogs are relatively low to the ground, they often get soaked from the belly up by splashing mud and road spray. This coat wraps securely around the chest and underside, acting as a splash guard to keep the most vulnerable parts of your dog clean and dry. Inside, it is lined with a thick, thermal fleece that provides a cozy layer of insulation for those freezing morning walks when the frost is still on the grass.

The design is focused on stability and ease of use. It features elasticated back leg straps and an elasticated neck, which keep the coat perfectly centered even when your dog is in a full sprint. The hook-and-loop fastening system makes it incredibly fast to get on and off, which is a blessing if you have a dog that is over-excited to start their walk. It is a tough, reliable, and life-savingly bright piece of kit that makes managing an active dog in bad weather a much simpler task.
