Stylish and rugged: the perfect wax coat for your Dachshund!
With this wax coat, your Dachshund gets a stylish yet practical look. The rugged design and distinctive ‘character marks’ in the wax give the coat a charming vintage vibe – pure 'English gentleman' style. A true eye-catcher! This coat is specially designed for the unique build of Dachshunds. Thanks to the extra length, your furry friend stays warm and comfortable, even on chilly days. No more cold bottoms! The wide belly band provides optimal protection for the lungs against wind and rain. The water-repellent properties of the wax make this coat ideal for outdoor adventures – from brisk woodland walks to rainy field training sessions. All of this, with a touch of classic hunting vibes.
Whether your Dachshund is wire-haired, long-haired, or smooth-haired, this wax coat for your Dachshund offers excellent protection against moisture. For wire-haired Dachshunds with a thick undercoat, it’s the perfect coat for spring and autumn – and sometimes even sufficient for winter. If your Dachshund gets cold easily, like the short-haired variety, you can pair this coat with a single-layer fleece or wool coat for extra warmth, such as the Burberry or Scottish plaid fleece coat. This wax coat features only a cotton inner lining, making it lightweight and comfortable while keeping out the rain – a perfect combination of style and functionality, though some Dachshunds may need an extra layer for warmth.
All our Dachshund coats, including this wax coat, are handcrafted by Eleonora in Italy. This means our coats are not mass-produced. After years of trial and error, we’ve finally achieved the perfect ‘Dachshund fit.’ This wax coat is extra long on the back and features a wide flap that protects the lungs under the belly. The coat fastens with Velcro on the chest and under the belly, ensuring your Dachshund’s freedom of movement. Once you’ve chosen the correct size using the measurement guide below, you can adjust the coat with the Velcro for the perfect fit.
This wax coat does not have a built-in harness opening. Instead, a harness can be worn over the coat, provided it is a style that sits further back, like a Y- or H-shaped harness. Other harness styles may not fit properly and could end up in the armpit area. Looking for a harness that always fits over this coat? Check out our selection here.
Add extra warmth and complete the look with one of our stylish snoods.

NB! The advice based on Dachshund size and weight is a guideline. The advice remains: measure your Dachshund based on the measuring advice and compare the measured centimeters with those in the size chart. Do not rely on our advice about which size suits which Dachshund, every Dachshund is different.

Care instructions
To ensure a long life, avoid washing this coat frequently. What makes this wax coat so special is its wax layer, which develops a beautiful patina over time as it’s worn. If the coat gets dirty, allow the dirt to dry and brush it off. Washing will remove the beeswax, which eliminates its water-repellent function. If you must wash it, hand wash only and reapply wax afterward. Let the coat air dry – never tumble dry.
