Finding the perfect winter coat for a stocky or muscular breed can be tough. Designed by popular demand from our customers, the Alpine Dog Coat Chest Extension Strap is the ultimate solution for giving your pup extra breathing room. If you love our Alpine coats but need a little more width around the girth, this dog coat chest extender provides a more comfortable, unrestricted fit for broad-chested dog breeds like Bulldogs, Pugs, Boxers, and Pitbulls.
Crafted from the exact same heavy-duty, premium materials featured in our flagship Alpine coats, this durable dog harness extension strap adds an extra 3 inches of sturdy webbing—yielding 5 inches of total extra length including the buckles. Need even more room? These extensions are designed to be stackable, meaning multiple straps can be clicked together for the largest and broadest of breeds.
Our custom-molded, quick-snap buckles are designed to work seamlessly with your existing Alpine coat hardware for an instant, secure connection. For added peace of mind during low-light conditions, the heavy-duty webbing features integrated reflective material to keep your dog highly visible and safe during early morning or late-night winter walks.
Designed for Broad Chests: Instantly adds a more comfortable fit for stocky, muscular, or deep-chested dog breeds.
5 Inches of Extra Girth: Features 3 inches of durable webbing, providing 5 inches of total extra chest room including the buckles.
Stackable Design: Straps are sold individually and can be easily connected together to accommodate extra-large or uniquely shaped dogs.
Perfect Material Match: Built with the same rugged fabrics and high-visibility reflective trim as our Alpine coats.
Quick-Snap Buckles: Designed to seamlessly integrate with your Alpine coat hardware for easy on-and-off use.
To ensure a flawless fit, our dog jacket chest extensions are available in two custom widths to perfectly match your coat size:
For Sizes XS - XL Alpine Coats: 3" long webbing (5" total extension with buckles) x 5/8" width
For Sizes 2XL - 5XL Alpine Coats: 3" long webbing (5" total extension with buckles) x 1" width
Buckle Compatibility: The smaller strap (5/8" wide) is backward-compatible and will work with older Alpine coat models.
Larger Strap Restriction: Please note that the larger strap (1" wide) will not fit legacy Alpine coats manufactured prior to 2021. Upgraded, high-durability buckles were introduced to our heavy-duty winter coats starting in 2021, and older buckles are incompatible with the new 1" extension strap hardware.
