What is a Dogrobe with a Harness Access Opening?
A Harness Access Opening is a simple customisation available on all sizes of Original and Exclusive Dogrobes.
Positioned between the collar and mid-back, it is a small buttonhole-style opening. It provides easy access to your dog's harness D-ring while they are wearing their Dogrobe.
The opening remains closed until needed, helping to keep your dog warm, dry and comfortable. When it's time to travel, simply locate the D-ring through the opening and attach your seat belt restraint or lead without removing the Dogrobe.

Rule 57 of the Highway Code states dogs should be suitably restrained while travelling
"I’ve tried brands of ‘drying coats’ but this is by far my favourite especially as it has a harness opening so that my pup can wear it in the car. My 1yr old working cocker spaniel loves wearing it! "
"After a dip in the stream or a rainy walk, she's happy to let me put her dog robe on and she dries while she snoozes. The hole for the harness has also been tested on car-trips to the seaside - she can dry on the journey home."
"This dog robe has been a game changer for us. Our cocker loves to get as dirty and wet as possible on every walk. The dog robe not only helps dry her off, it's keeps her warm and helps shield our car and walls. The robe with the harness hole is perfect for her harness."
