Winter coat
-
Has anyone noticed that more shedding than usual this time of year? Sahara does not shed that much but lately she has been doing alot, I have to get hair off of my clothes more these days. Since this is my first year with a B I was wondering if they shed their summer coats for a more dense coat for winter.
-
Our 6 yr old is also shedding a lot. Almost appears to be a fawn tri-color. Similar thing happened late last winter or earlier this spring. Vet found nothing wrong like dry skin, disease or whatever. We got our young lady when she was 8 weeks old and this year is the first major shedding we have noticed.

My dog has quite a few coats - one with reflectors (for night walks), a bright cordaroy one, a rain coat, a flannel… I buy him coats all the time - he loves to be outside with us, but in our area the weather in fall, winter & spring can be anything from crisp & cool to downright frigid & raw. So, to make our outside playtime & walks enjoyable, I provide many coats to choose from (much to my bf's dismay). but hey, our dog is happy, healthy, warm, and even fashion forward. I get alot of my dog's clothes at Old Navy for a very reasonable price.

I think it would be great if you took pictures of the different coats he wears. It could be a Basenji fashon show. :D
I never knew old navy had doggie sweaters! I love the fleece jackets they carry. So cozy! -
That's a nice coat. I buy my two from various places on the internet. Talker has a rain coat that he doesn't really like. When I put it on him he hangs his head low. Sometimes he even walks away from me when he sees me pulling it out for him to wear on his walk. Savannah loves her sweaters and coats and never seems to mind them at all. You can find lots of things on the internet.

I just wanted to let you guys know that I went to two Old Navy stores yesterday so that I could find coats for Zahra, some of their dog coats are on sale for $6.99. I got her two, one is a bright green and the other is a blue plaid. I also bought Chase (Puggle) a green one too so that they can match! I can't wait for cold weather now!
-
Good price! What size did you buy Zahra? I bought Duke a bumble bee holloween costume, size large at Target. It's snug around the chest, but it doesn't give like a sweater will stretch. He looks so funny in it. He doesn't seem to mind it once it's on. Getting it on is a bit of a struggle because he fusses with me. I bet the XL would be too big tho.
-
I bought Zahra a Large sweater at the military exchange. I don't remember the brand.
Her two coats from Old Navy are both small, the Medium looks HUGE (I bought that for Chase). Funny how the sizes are so different every where, almost like women's clothes!
I looked at the Bumble Bee costume today for Zahra at Target, how funny! You have to post a picture of it. They do look like they run small.

Hi…This is my girl (pre-invisible fence). I hope it works...
She now has matching boots (LOL) for those really cold, especially icy days here in Vermont. I'm trying to find pictures of her all "suited up" so you can all have a laugh. The first time we put them on my husband kind of dragged or slid her up the driveway! I nearly wet my pants watching it!
-
Here are a few of her debut in boots. The reflectors are shining from the flash. She pranced around on the porch and then when he took her into the driveway, she woudn't move. My poor sweetie. I'll see what happens this winter, maybe I'll get some better pictures…
-
Love these pictures, your B is so good to wear what we stick on them. I bought my B 2 coats today for winter from Old Navy. I couldn't believe that Old Navy sold dog items, they have other stuff also. Sahara doesn't like to wear them, but they are a new thing for her, and I hope she will get use to them. I figure when winter gets here and we go out she will like them more. Hope to see more pics of your baby soon.

She is very good about since she can only walk a few steps without them on the cold ice. She just stops and picks up each paw and looks up at you as if to say, "Take me back into the house; put me near the fire so I can thaw please!!"
The boots I have for her are muttluks and I found the type of jacket that velcros on the top is best for Basenjis' large rib cages and harness. The one I bought was not a brand that I can tell, but it was at a local pet store that went out of business, sadly. It is fleece on the inside and a nylon material on the outside. A real ski jacket of sorts. Old Navy did have some great things online and in the stores. -

I only have one on hand... This is his ruff-dog coat. (has reflectors on it, lined w/ fleece, is waterproof & heavy duty)
I'm not sure if Old navy has sweaters... I only buy the velcro-on coats (less hassle putting them on/taking off).
Hi Jessi76!
This is a cool coat! Where did you get it? I don't want to buy something that would embarrass Joey ;-)

hi JoeyQ… I got my dog's coat at a dog-festival from a vendor, but they are available online directly from Ruff Dog... here's the link to the K9 Overcoat:

I like this one in particular because it completely covers the chest area, where dogs tend to lose alot of body heat. (it's also EXTREMELY well made, as long as my dog doesn't get any bigger, it will last a lifetime)

omg omg omg, I LOVE the reflectors! I have a collar with blinky lights I used to put on my old rottie but those are WONDERFUL! :)
