Winter wear

    Does any one know where I can get boots that will stay on. I have two Basenjis in Minneapolis. (I know that is cruel) but here they are and they like the snow until their paws get cold.

    Howdy neighbor - I have tried a couple of different options and none of them have worked. They just lay on their backs and look at me like - what have you done to me - my feet are broken.

    When Lillie had stitches in her paw, I needed to keep the paw dry. I tried everything. What worked and fit the best were natural rubber, waterproof dog boots by Pawz. 12 disposable boots…slips on, stays on. I believe they were around $17.00. Their website is www.PAWZDOGBOOTS.com. Of course, as soon as we came in from our walk, Lillie was trying to get them off.
    Another waterproof dog boots we tried were waterproof nylon boots with non-skid soles and Velcro straps for a snug fit. $9.99 They did not fit as snug as the pawz. There is no website on the package. The company is Signature Fashion Pet Collection…#130 Waterproof Woof Boots.
    Good luck!
    Jodie:)

    Congo has his collar on in the house unless we are sleeping. I have two roommates and I am always afraid that he might zip out the door when they do. His collar is always on the loosest notch and he could easily get out of it if it gets caught on something.

    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.

    Thanks for that site, I may order the cooling jacket for my black basenji, he gets really hot and that might let us walk all of them in the summer(before dark). Your harness looks really great. Anne

    My dog has a few coat and has boots that she wears in the snow. She has a fleece hoodie and a jean jacket. I now have an IG doggie how hates the cold so I looked on the greyhound sites and found a coat that is made for basenji's and IG's. I forget the site off hand but I will look it up for you and get back to you. It is fleece and has a snooze(neck/head warmer). Great coat and easy to put on.
