my dog chewed the pocket of one of my coats, i was wondering if pantagonia would have replaced that. thanks for your post, i may replace it with pantagonia now- it was an expensive coat and not warrantied at all.

I’ll add that I have a Patagonia store near me so I took it in directly. They offered to send it off to the manufacturer to replace the whole panel, or take it to a local tailor to fix the rip. I opted for the tailor.

When I got it back, I couldn’t tell it had ever been ripped and they had replaced the zipper pull which I hadn’t even asked them to do.

Your dog tearing something up should never be on the manufacturer to fix. Abuse of lax policies hurts us all in the end.

the poster said his dog chewed the pull and they repaired it. i think they were aware that wasn’t a manufacturer defect. i was surprised that type of damage was covered and if that was true i would buy that brand next time. i don’t believe any attempt to deceive was made by myself or the other poster - maybe pantagonia doesn’t care, maybe they don’t sort out how the damage occurred ? not sure why i felt the need to explain.
