The Waterproof Fleece Made for Dachshunds
Thousands of dachshunds. One favourite fleece.
Deep, rich and seriously striking. Merlot DoxieDri combines a gorgeous berry red fleece with warm chocolate brown detailing for a bold colour combination that was made for autumn and winter walks.
It’s got all the cosy seasonal vibes without being your typical red. Think fallen leaves, chilly woodland walks and a little sausage looking ridiculously smart in the middle of it all.
The perfect bold Dachshund jumper in a rich Merlot red that makes every walk look good.
The Merlot DoxieDri Dachshund Harness Fleece is designed exclusively around the long bodies, deep chests and little legs of Dachshunds.
Buttery soft, warm and water resistant on top, with a fully waterproof chest and tummy panel underneath, it helps keep your Dachshund protected from wet grass, muddy walks and unpredictable weather without restricting their movement.
And with reinforced double D rings built straight into the back, DoxieDri doubles as a harness too.
Why Does DoxieDri Sell Out Time and Time Again?
✓ Made exclusively for Dachshunds
A breed specific fit designed around long backs, deep chests and short legs.
✓ Waterproof where it matters most
A fully waterproof chest and tummy panel protects the area closest to wet grass, puddles and mud.
✓ Soft, warm & water resistant fleece
Rain beads on the outer fleece rather than immediately soaking in, helping your Dachshund stay warm and comfortable without a heavy, soggy jumper.
✓ A fleece & harness in one
Reinforced double D rings allow you to attach your lead directly to the DoxieDri for everyday walks.
✓ Nothing goes over their head
Simply step in, wrap the adjustable Velcro neck and zip up the back. Ideal for Dachshunds who aren’t fans of pull over jumpers.
✓ Freedom for those little legs
Our registered design allows a full range of movement, with a fit shaped specifically around the Dachshund body.
✓ 11 sizes for a closer fit
From tiny puppies to Miniatures, Tweenies and Standards, with Slim, Average and Wide options to accommodate different Dachshund builds.
✓ Machine washable
Because Dachshunds and mud have a habit of finding each other.
Why Your Dachshund Will Love Their DoxieDri Fleece
Most dog fleeces are designed to fit dozens of different breeds. DoxieDri isn’t.
Every detail has been designed around the unique proportions of a Dachshund, from the longer body and deeper chest to those famously short legs.
The shape around the chest and front legs helps reduce rubbing, while flattened internal seams maximise comfort for sensitive dogs and those prone to chafing.
We’ve also tapered the waist and added an adjustable Velcro neck to create a comfortable, secure fit, even for little escape artists.
If your Dachshund has never enjoyed wearing a jumper before, DoxieDri might just change their mind.
Length Matters
“Where can I find a jumper that actually fits my Dachshund’s long back?”
We hear this time and time again. Standard dog jumpers can leave a Dachshund looking like they’re wearing a crop top!
As Dachshund owners ourselves, we know how difficult it can be to find a Dachshund jumper long enough to properly cover their back. That’s why DoxieDri was designed specifically around their unique proportions, with a longer body fit that gives your sausage the coverage they need without restricting those little legs.
Long back. Proper coverage. No crop tops here.
Rain On Top. Waterproof Underneath.
We spent years researching fabrics before finding the combination we wanted for DoxieDri.
The outer fleece is soft, thick, warm and water resistant, helping rain bead on the surface rather than immediately soaking through.
Underneath, a fully waterproof chest and tummy panel protects the part of your Dachshund closest to wet grass, puddles and mud. It’s carefully shaped for a comfortable fit on both male and female Dachshunds.
The result? Less soggy fleece. Less muddy tummy. One much happier sausage.
No Separate Harness Needed
Every DoxieDri features reinforced double D rings on the back, allowing you to attach your dog’s lead directly to their fleece for everyday walking.
Prefer using a separate harness? You can wear one over the DoxieDri instead.
Safety note: The D rings are reinforced for everyday walking. If your dog pulls forcefully, lunges or is reactive on lead, please attach their lead to a collar or traditional harness for optimal safety and control.
Step In. Zip Up. Adventure.
Getting ready for a walk shouldn’t involve wrestling a Dachshund into a jumper.
Lay the DoxieDri open, place your Dachshund’s front legs through the leg openings, wrap and secure the adjustable Velcro neck, then fasten the lined zip along the back.
Check that the neck and chest fit securely but comfortably, clip the lead onto the reinforced D rings and you’re ready to go.
A DoxieDri for Every Dachshund
Our improved sizing system includes 11 sizes, designed around the huge variation in shape and size within the Dachshund breed.
Which size DoxieDri does your dachshund need?
✓ XXS and XS for puppies and very petite miniatures
✓ Small for Miniature Dachshunds
✓ Medium for larger Miniatures and Tweenies
✓ Large and XL for Standard Dachshunds
✓ Slim, Average and Wide fits for different body shapes
Not sure which fit your Dachshund needs? Take a look at the photos above for real examples of different sized Dachshunds wearing their DoxieDri, plus our handy guide to help you work out whether your dog would need a Slim, Average or Wide fit.
Please use the size guides in the product photos and measure your Dachshund before ordering. You’ll also find our step by step measuring video to help you choose the most suitable size and fit.
Still unsure? Get in touch and we’ll happily help you find the best fit for your Dachshund.
Muddy Sausage? No Problem.
DoxieDri is designed for real Dachshund walks, which inevitably means mud.
Machine wash at 30°C. Before washing, we recommend fastening the back zip and securing the Velcro neck, then placing your DoxieDri inside a mesh laundry bag or old pillowcase to help protect it during the wash.
DoxieDri can be airdried or radiator dried without affecting its shape or performance, although we recommend air drying where possible to help preserve its water resistant properties for longer.
The Little Details
Contrasting fabrics, complementary colours and embroidered Dachshund silhouettes give DoxieDri its unmistakably sausage shaped style.

For the full matching look, pair your DoxieDri with our DoxieFlex collar, lead and safety clip, designed specifically to coordinate with every DoxieDri colour. Simply match your favourites, clip on and go!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I attach my lead directly to the D-rings?
Yes. The reinforced D-rings are designed for everyday walking and allow you to attach your lead directly to the DoxieDri, meaning it can be used instead of a traditional harness. If your dog pulls forcefully, lunges or is reactive on lead, we recommend attaching your lead to a well-fitting harness or collar for additional safety and control.
Is the DoxieDri completely waterproof?
The DoxieDri features a fully waterproof chest and tummy panel, combined with a water-resistant outer fleece that causes rain to bead on the surface rather than soak in. It's ideal for wet walks, helping to keep your dachshund warm, dry and comfortable.
Which dachshunds is the DoxieDri suitable for?
Our DoxieDri has been designed specifically for dachshunds and is available in 11 sizes, including Slim and Wide fits. We cater for tiny puppies, miniature dachshunds, tweenies and standard dachshunds.
How do I choose the correct size?
Simply follow our size guide in the product images and measure your dachshund's back, chest and neck. We have a handy video showing how to measure your dog and a Sizing Calculator Tool which can help identify the best size. If you're unsure, we'd be delighted to help you choose the perfect fit.
Can the DoxieDri be machine washed?
Yes. The DoxieDri can be machine washed at 30°C. It can also be tumble dried or dried on a radiator without affecting its shape or performance, although air drying will help preserve the water-resistant finish for even longer.
Does the DoxieDri go over my dog's head?
No. The DoxieDri features a step-in design with a zip-up back and adjustable Velcro neck, making it quick and easy to put on without pulling it over your dachshund's head. Perfect for quickly getting out of the door or for dachshunds with IVDD who benefit from avoiding garments being pulled over their head.
Why does my Dachshund get so cold?
Dachshunds are low to the ground, so their chest and tummy are particularly exposed to cold, wet conditions. DoxieDri combines a warm fleece outer with a fully waterproof chest and tummy panel to help keep them warm, dry and comfortable.
Should my Dachshund wear a jumper?
Every Dachshund is different, but many appreciate an extra layer in colder weather, particularly puppies, older dogs, Miniatures and short haired Dachshunds. You know your dog best, so let their behaviour and the conditions guide you.
Why does my Dachshund hate getting wet?
Some Dachshunds simply aren’t rain fans, and their low bodies mean wet grass and puddles quickly soak their underside. DoxieDri has a water resistant fleece outer and fully waterproof chest and tummy panel to help keep the soggy sausage situation under control.
Why does my Dachshund hate jumpers going over their head?
Some dogs simply don’t like clothing being pulled over their head and ears. DoxieDri has a step in design, adjustable Velcro neck and zip up back, so nothing needs to go over their head.
What is the best type of jumper for a Dachshund?
Fit is key. Dachshunds have long bodies, deep chests and short legs, so generic dog jumpers don’t always fit properly. DoxieDri is designed specifically for Dachshunds, with 11 sizes and Slim, Average and Wide fits.
Are Dachshund fleece jumpers suitable for rain?
Fleece provides warmth but can become heavy when soaked. That’s why DoxieDri combines water resistant outer fleece with a fully waterproof chest and tummy panel, helping protect against light rain, wet grass, puddles and mud.
How should a Dachshund jumper fit?
It should fit comfortably around the neck and chest, cover their long body and allow their legs to move freely without rubbing. Use our DoxieDri size guide or Dachshund Sizing Calculator to find the best fit.
Can Dachshund puppies wear DoxieDri?
Yes! DoxieDri starts at XXS, with sizes specifically designed for growing Dachshund puppies. Just check the fit regularly as your little sausage grows.

As a former machinist, I can tell you that this product is well made. It’s made from quality material and my dog looks very handsome in it too. The only downfall is that I don’t want to get it dirty.

This is the second fleece bought for our sausage puppy. The whole process of working out the right size, delivery, etc. was so simple. The fleece arrived quickly and fits perfectly. It keeps her warm, her tummy dry and clean as well as being easy to put on an excitable puppy! I’d also messaged the Sausage Dog Box Instagram page a question and they responded super quickly. I couldn’t recommend this more and will continue to buy from here…in fact, I’ve just bought a third fleece!!

Lily is finally keeping dry and warm on her walks....and looking great. Thanks for such a quality product. Will definitely be buying more items for her .

We ordered this fleece coat for our puppy, Roxy, who is 13 weeks old. We went for a size up to allow for a bit of growth. She looks adorable in it. Lovely soft leg holes and the clip on means you don't need a harness as well. So easy to put on. She's enjoying being out and about in it meeting lots of people and dogs!

I waited for several weeks for the DoxieDri Fleeces to come back in stock! It was well worth the wait. The waterproof belly is great when it’s wet out and the fleece is thick so it keeps your dog warm. A must have item!

After purchasing many coats and not being successful with a proper fit for my three beautiful sausages, I finally found these. Fantastic quality, lots to choose from and a great price. You also get the best of both worlds with the harness built in. Highly recommend!
P
Bought two liked them so much. Had have 2 colours. I was not sure which size to order used size calculator (sslim) and fits her beautifully but as she is a pup and may grow slightly ordered (small average) to try. Although slightly big I think better for my growing puppy. Ordered red and green and maroon and brown in time christmas. Order delivered quickly. Product excellent quality and although not tried out yet on walks very pleased.

When my mum eventually got me the right size (I have a big chest) I tried it on and I love my fleece! In fact I won’t go outside without it now it’s cold and bad weather! Even just in the garden!
I strut down the street in it like I own the place! People stop and ask my mum where I got it from 😃
It’s a very smart coat for a Black and Tan Tweenie! It’s well made and with the zip and lead hooks on the back it’s easy to put on when I I fidget! I stayed dry when it bucketed down today!
J
I received my dogs coat today . I had to re order as first one was too short in length. Great service and really beautiful coat. I’m very pleased with my purchase
L
Gorgeous jumper and so well fitting. Size guide was spot on and my sausage Gary looks amazing! Highly recommended
