captainjmorgan's Full Review: Ethical Products Fashion Pet Classic Cable Dog Swe...
I bought the XL Pet Classic Cable Dog Sweater for my four year old German shorthair/Weimaraner mix dog because he is a really lean dog with short hair and chills easily. During the winter he needs a little extra protection to help keep him warm and to stop him from shivering.
I ordered the XL size because it was recommended for dogs 22-24 inches (measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail)and showed a German Shepherd. My dog fell within this range and didn't have the thick furry coat so I figured it was a safe buy. I got the sweater online from Walmart for $9.95 and was impressed at how fast it arrived. I liked the color (cobalt blue with light blue trim around the arm and neck holes, nice cable knit pattern) and the overall quality seemed pretty decent. It's made of 100% acrylic and can be machine washed in cold water. The only things I wasn't so sure about were the size of the neck and arm openings- they seemed really small- and the durability of the narrow leg straps that go around the hind legs.
I pulled the sweater over my dogs neck and noticed that it was a little small especially with his collar on. I then tried to put his front legs in, but when I tried to pull the sweater up his fore legs I found that his shoulder muscles were way to big (he loves to run!). The length of the sweater wasn't long enough for his body so I couldn't get the leg straps around his hind legs either.
I was disappointed that it didn't fit and even more disappointed that I didn't feel I could return it. My dog's short, coarse hair was all over it after trying to put it on him. I'm still going to try the XXL to see if it will fit better. Overall, I liked the price and quality of the sweater, it's size just runs a little small.
