How cute is a yellow dog raincoat? A yellow puppy raincoat may be the best thing since sliced bread to dog lovers who live in rainy weather. On top of that, a yellow dog raincoat always stands out in sharp contrast to the brown, black, or other natural colours of your canine companion.

Plus, a yellow dog raincoat is one of the best ways to keep your pet safe if the rain is heavy enough to impair visibility, as we will discuss below.

The History of the Yellow Winter Raincoat

The yellow raincoat had a long road to travel to where it is now all the rage in fashion for humans, along with the yellow dog raincoat for canines.

The story of the yellow coats started in the rough seas around Scotland, where sailmakers in the 19th century found that it became naturally waterproofed if they used linseed oil in finishing their sails. So, that same oil started to be painted over sailcloth (used to make seamen's clothing).

Over time, the treatment turned the sails and the capes worn by seamen yellow. The oilskin became indistinguishable from its yellow colour. However, it also turned stiff and heavy with time, so there were drawbacks.

The Modern Version – the Yellow Mackintosh

Between 1823 to 1840, Sir Thomas Macintosh devised a raincoat using rubber and naphtha strips layered between cloth to form the outer layers. Soon, vulcanization was added to create the waterproof, rubbery vests that came to be known as the "macs" – named after the inventor Macintosh. After he and his partner Hancock released them to the general market, they caught on like wildfire.

By the mid-19th century, the macs were famous all over the British Isles. However, the seamen continued to favour the yellow macs since they were used to the colour and found it extremely helpful that the colour stood out during bad weather on high seas, especially being visible through fogs.

Somewhere in the past few decades, the yellow raincoat (no one calls them "macs" any longer) has made a massive comeback for its classic look. The yellow dog coat is one of the later manifestations and is now generally identified as an excellent and practical dog coat. We have moved on from spotting men in the sea to dogs in the road!

Why are Yellow Dog Coats so Popular?

A puppy raincoat is necessary for places like the UK, Northern Europe and Canada, where the cold and rain make warmth and dryness essential for outdoor dogs. However, people want more than just a dry dog, they want a stylish dry dog. One of the big players for yellow dog coats comes from a brand known as Joules. Joules have a great dog coat range but they are not the only yellow dog coats available nor are they the most practical! 

Every magazine that talks about dog fashion are sure to have articles, spreads and examples of yellow dog coats simply because they are trendy and functional. 

For example, here's an adorable photo from Pawsh, the Canadian magazine, about their best dog raincoat for 2019:
