    Love those Equafleece coats!! Not too sure about the fluoro colour though!!
    I just checked out their website - I think my oldies would like those.
    Are they prompt with sending the goods out?

    Hi Kiwir
    I'm sure Mary at Equafleece would send stuff out pretty quick. I always buy mine at shows so not too sure about postal times. Give them an email and ask. My dogs have at least 4 of these jumpers each in all sorts of styles and colours. I wouldn't buy any other jumpers for them :)
    I should say I also have a jumper chewer. He hates having 'legs' so I just make sure I get him the jumpers without legs on.

    Thanks for that - I'll email them tonight.
    I spent several hours on the computer last night checking out all different manufacturers, but kept coming back to Equafleece.
    Good news on the home front - Jerry still had his coat on this morning - untouched!!
    His sister Chloe (of course!) hadn't touched hers. It's marvellous how they discovered warmth was better than destruction.

    I agree..I use both Equafleece and hurtta as far as clothing- both somewhat hard to get in New England, we also get frigid winters so I use the Equafleece as a liner for the hurtta… Oakleys spoiled and always warm!

    Our winters here in Australia are not like yours in New England - we don't get snow where I am, but do get hard frosts. Cold days are 14C, but situated where I am on the side of a hill, the wind off the snow area 75 kms further up the valley can get a bit lazy - prefers to go through you rather than round you!!
    And as we all know - Basenjis don't 'do' cold!! My Swedish boy is cuddled up in his bed in front of the heater beside me. Silly boy still gets his summer coat in our winter!!

    @Maya: Awww, SO cute!! Maya would love one of those. Sadly I have no clue how to knit :D Knitting actually isn't very difficult. Buy some yarn & knitting needles & google how to knit. Its reading patterns that trips me up. I started knitting a sweater for Lola when she was about 11 months old. It took me several months to get 75% done, and by then, she had changed enough that I recently took it apart & started over. I realized I needed to adjust the pattern to accommodate basenji chests being slightly deeper compared to their length than other dogs.

    @noodle: Mmmmmm…the smell of singeing dog fur - I know it well! :D Mine sit so close to the small fan heater in my bedroom, it makes their whiskers go curly! :rolleyes: The basenji my brother had when I was in high school would sleep UNDER our Franklin woodstove in the basement - Franklin stoves have higher legs than regular woodstoves. When Zeke would come out for water, you couldn't touch him as his fur would burn your hand. :eek:

    All great suggestions. Also, for peace of mind, ask which emergency vet they use and check out that facility as well. We also include an unwashed T-shirt (one from each of us)that we have slept in for a few days so our smells are concentrated. Ask if someone plays with the dogs when they're turned out to run, and ask if there is a washer and dryer on sight in case of an accident so the bedding gets washed. All my above suggestions have come from experience and grant me some peace when I have to leave my dogs. That said, I'm still a BIG baby when I have to leave the "kids".:o

    I bought coats from Ruffwear for my boys and have been really pleased with the coats especially since we have gotten so much snow.

    I put my Buttons in a K9 Top Coat Arctic Fleece Jogging suit which covers her belly and all four legs. They are really warm and perfect for our early morning walks when it's very cold here in MO. Size 3 fits most Basenji's like a glove and it does not cramp their style. Only problem is that they are quite expensive but Her Majesty Buttons worries not about little things such as that as long as she is warm and toasty.
