Dog Coats for Puppies: How to Make a Grow-With-Me Dog Coat

Puppies grow fast — here’s how to make a dog coat last longer with simple, grow-with-me adjustments.

In this episode, I share practical, sustainable solutions for making dog coats that last longer through those puppy growth spurts. From Velcro and elastic to clever drawstrings and extension panels, I’ll walk you through how to adapt a simple pattern (like my free Cozy Coat) so your pup doesn’t outgrow it in weeks.

Whether you’re sewing for a small terrier or a medium-sized poodle, you’ll hear tips for adjusting circumference, back length, and side coverage — plus my take on realistic expectations (spoiler: it’s not a forever coat, but it can last a lot longer).
