Handmade Dog Poncho from Authentic Mexican Blanket – Blue, XXS for Small Dogs
This handmade dog poncho, crafted from an authentic Mexican blanket, gives your small dog a cozy, colorful layer. The XXS size fits dogs with a chest up to 13 inches, a neck of 8 inches, and a minimum weight of 3 pounds—ideal for Yorkies, Chihuahuas, and even cats. Adjustable Velcro straps around the neck and chest make it simple to put on and take off, while a harness loop lets you attach a leash without interfering with the collar.
Every Poncho Is Unique
Each Baja Ponchos garment is hand-cut from a custom handwoven serape blanket made in Tlaxcala, Mexico. Because the blankets vary in pattern, your poncho will look similar to the pictures but won’t be identical. That means your dog gets a piece that’s genuinely one of a kind.
Finding the Right Fit
The brand offers seven sizes, and the XXS is designed for the smallest pets. Key measurements:
| Size | XX-Small |
| Chest Size | 13 inches |
| Neck Size | 8 inches |
| Minimum Weight Recommendation | 3 Pounds |
| Package Dimensions | 9.76 x 8.15 x 1.14 inches |
| Item Weight | 0.32 ounces |
Besides small dogs like Yorkies and Chihuahuas, the XXS can also fit cats. The Velcro closures allow you to adjust the fit around the neck and chest so it’s snug but not tight.
Materials and Construction
The exterior of the poncho is a blend of polyester and acrylic, giving it the classic serape look and feel. The interior lining is polyester for comfort. The blanket material is handwoven in Tlaxcala, Mexico. Two Velcro straps—one at the neck, one at the chest—provide adjustability. A harness loop is sewn into the vest, making it easy to clip a leash without the poncho shifting.
When You Might Use This Poncho
Many pet owners reach for this poncho during thunderstorms or fireworks, as the wrap-around design can help a nervous dog feel more secure. It also works as a lightweight jacket for chilly winter walks. Beyond everyday use, it doubles as a costume for Halloween, Cinco de Mayo, or a festive Christmas gift. The makers designed it to be both functional and stylish, so it holds up to regular wear while adding a vibrant look.
How Do I Put It On?
The design is straightforward: drape the poncho over your dog’s back, pull the neck Velcro strap under the belly and secure it, then do the same with the chest strap. The harness loop remains accessible on the top for leash attachment. Because there are no zippers or buttons to fuss with, you can get your dog ready quickly.
