How a dog rashie can help with itchy and exposed skin

When your pup’s dealing with itchy skin or growing back their coat, comfort and protection are key. Whether it's allergies, hot spots, or a recent procedure, Sandy Snoots dog rashies are a gentle and practical solution that helps dogs feel more at ease, without sacrificing style.

A protective barrier for sensitive skin

If your dog has allergies or skin irritation, constant scratching or licking can quickly make things worse. It may lead to broken skin, extended inflammation, and secondary infections. Once the skin barrier is compromised, bacteria and yeast can enter, causing hot spots and further discomfort. 

Our dog rashies act as a soft, breathable shield, helping to protect sensitive areas from external irritants like grass, pollen, or even your pup’s own paws. Made from lightweight, stretchy fabric, they’re designed to feel barely-there while still offering just the right amount of coverage.

Sun protection for dogs who’ve lost their fluff

Sometimes our fluffy friends need a fresh trim—whether it's after surgery, grooming, or to help them stay cool in the warmer months. But once all that fur comes off, their skin can be left a little too exposed, especially under the sun.

That’s where our dog rashies really shine. Sandy Snoots rashies are made with certified UPF 50+ fabric, giving your pup the sun protection they need while their coat grows back. They’re soft, breathable, and comfy enough for all-day wear—so your dog stays protected without feeling restricted.

Just ask Christine, one of our happy customers:

“GREAT FIT & QUALITY!
Perfect fit for my Border Collie x Kelpie, the material is soft and easier to put on and zip up. Super simple to put in the wash also. Look forward to see more designs released. A quality product which protected my dog against the sun, when she had to be shaved. Thank you :)”

If your pup has recently lost their fluff, a dog rashie is a gentle, stylish way to keep their skin safe while they’re looking (and feeling) a little more bare than usual.

Whether you’re dressing your pup for recovery, allergy season, or sun protection, there’s a look to match every mood and personality. Because comfort and style should always go paw-in-paw.

One of our latest favourites is the new season Oceanic Opulence Dog Rashie—designed with a dreamy cobalt blue paisley and delicate ornamental florals. It’s part of our trans-seasonal collection that’s perfect for stylish pups and their equally stylish mums.

If your dog’s rashie already has them looking stylish, why stop there? 

Pair it with a dog bucket hat for extra sun protection (and extra cuteness). They're made with certified UPF 50+ fabric, adjustable chin straps, and come in prints designed to coordinate perfectly with our rashies.

Or top off their look with one of our adorable dog headbands—the ultimate lightweight accessory for fashion-forward pups who love a little flair.
