houndzrus Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Lovely pics Alex, I don't have any wrapped up. Jack doesn't "do" coats, though I would like a waterproof for when he's in the water. Cherry has a coat, but does a great "woe is me" when wearing it!

cycas Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) Those are very smart, do they sell sighthound fit ones? Not that Mollydog would be seen dead walking in one, we have absolute tantrums and I CANNOT WALK IN THIS THING even with a light raincoat unless it's absolutely frrrrrrrreeezing, but my Mum's whippet Flash might benefit, the poor little soul really feels the cold. I've just bought him some pyjamas for Christmas... If I hadn't just bought Az a new Blizzard coat I might have got one for him too...

merledogs Posted November 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Those are very smart, do they sell sighthound fit ones? I bought them from Robinsons but I can't see them on there now. Timmy is a whuppety shape and they fit him okay, although a bit loose round the tummy bit but not overly so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fee Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I love the neoprene coats, they look really smart (helped by gorgeous models, of course) My dogs love their coats, yesterday when it was snowing horrible wet snow they were all double-coated with their equafleece underneath and a waterproof on top. The disadvantage was that I then had 10 damp coats to dry off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western star Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I lurve Timmy's ears they look like little radar scanners doG bless him Very posh coats you all have there Evie will wear her barbour in the rain but dont do 'warm' coats, they just love to roll in the snow (when it eventually gets to us lol) and Jaffa just wants to rip his PAT vest off so not tried him with any other coat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Fab piccies Alex Noah has many coats ( mostly made by Mum ) but poor Holly Collie just has a harness and nooo clothes Gracie Squirrel has so many coats and snoods that one local dogwalker commented she had more clothes than Cheryl Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickentikka Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Lovely pics I put D&F in their coats today (they only have one each normally reserved for blizzard conditions) as yesterday the dog with very little brain went straight into a mad gallop as soon as he was let off lead and seconds later pulled up with a hurty leg. Combination of rock hard ground and a cold dog = pulled muscles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whizzie Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Your dogs are gorgeous and their coats are very smart. Did they take to wearing them straight away? I am feeling a bit mean now. Mine have no coats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivea Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Even though Silk has a very thick fur coat of her own I try to get her to wear a waterproof when it is raining heavily, but somehow it never manages to stay on. Pixie really feels the cold so I have a waterproof with fleece for her, which she doesn't like and yesterday when I put it on her she managed to get if off after about 5minutes and as soon as it was off had a roll in the snow - even tho she hates the cold. Starry will be getting one because she has the thinnest coat of all and as she's 14 I'd prefer her not to get too cold. Whether she will keep it on is another matter!!

merledogs Posted November 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Your dogs are gorgeous and their coats are very smart. Did they take to wearing them straight away? They did take to these straight away, because they are fitted snugly around the body so there are no flappy bits and another reason I like them is because they don't move around like other coats, no matter what they do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyMalc Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Gorgeous models! :wub: I put their jumpers on yesterday as we went to Lyme Park and it's freezing inside the van for a good part of the journey. Sparky looked like he was about to burst into tears and Kiera looked as if she was put into a straitjacket and about to be hauled off to the looney bin! I had a neoprene coat for her too, but hopefully another dog will now be happy to run round with it, because Kiera refused to move point blank when I 'forced' her to wear it, until I took it off. Can I just ask where you got yours Alex? Because I got Kiera's from Robinson's, the biggest size there was, and it was quite small for her - and I think your gorgeous rabble is about the same size? Any case, took their jumpers off once we'd arrived at Lyme, and the first thing they did was roll around on the frozen ground. Me thinks they don't really need coats for walkies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil_angel Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Aww What the velcro along the back like? I have a fleecy one of a similar shape for Louie but I found the velcro strip wore out pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotslass Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Lovely pics. Bonnie isn't keen on a coat, although her own furry coat isn't very thick. She's getting used to it, but we had to endure many days of her 'straitjacket walk', with stiff legs and a pained expression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
