Abstract
An easily adaptable canine coat (10) for protecting the animal from harmful objects and various weather related factors. The coat includes a chest section (11) that secures to the animal by securing straps (14a-d) which pass over the animal's back and which provide protection for the animal's belly and chest. A cover (18) attaches to the straps and protects the animal's back. The cover is quickly and easily adjustable thus providing warming or cooling qualities. The cover is made of a highly reflective outer material for enhancing animal visibility during the day and night and keeping the animal cool by reflecting the sun. A hood (26) removably attaches to the cover and provides head protection.
