Oh the things we do for our brats, er, I mean lovely canine companions.
Winter coat
-
He looks nice and warm
How cute he is -
What about booties? Any experience on which ones stay on best?
-
I've heard muttluks are one of the best brands, however, I haven't tried any booties on my dog.
-
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.
-
A Bumble Bee costume sounds fantastic!
Love to see pics please.

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:
http://www.ruffwear.com/K-9-Overcoat-trade-II?sc=2&category=12
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!
-
this coat also has a loop (on the back) to attach a blinking light or another reflector for added visability.
-
Hey!!! I found the Ruffwear coat in my town. Thanks so much for the info!
J -
I need to find one in pink for her! LOL!
I will have to get some photos of her in her two jackets from Old Navy.
-
BTW, Lands End has doggie jackets too. Their "Squall" jacket for dogs, two different types at least.
(I hope this isn't a repeat…sorry if it is) -
Ok so it is not about coats. But my B's get very cold feet when we visit Maine in the winter. Most booties fall off their feet. I am looking for suggestions on booties that stay on the feet.
Thanks,
Rich
