Prepared for Winter

Basenji Talk

  • This picture was taken earlier this year when we had extreme winter temperatures of -20.

    The Bs are togged up in their Equafleeces and this is my husband - also sporting an Equafleece neckie (and socks! :)) Nakura's blue jumper has 4 legs to it. The Bs are quite happy to go on their usual walks in all kinds of weather when they wear their coats - although the humans are not always so keen :rolleyes:

    The weather is to get rather cold this week - apparently down to -10 overnight.


  • Pretty in yellow :D


  • Pretty :o

  • Houston

    Nice an toasty..Very cozy.


  • Brrrrrr, looks cold! Those jackets are great, I love the high-visibility color.

  • First Basenji's

    Now THAT'S some yellow!
    I see another thumbs/paws up for Equafleece…


  • I just love seeing people and their "kids" dressed up the same, its so adorable!


  • 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.


  • Equafleece is amazing!! Oakley has three…and I always get mine quickly


  • 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!!

    I would suggest the Ruff Wear Climate Changer plus the Ruff Wear Quinzee maybe some boots if you can swing it. XS on both of the jackets.

    We use the muttluks for Mowgli and Miika and they do stay on, they are on the second pair already as they used them so much the old ones have holes in the bottoms - i think this is mainly from the salt on the roads. The pups love them and don't mind wearing them and are a must up here in northern Alberta.
  • Winter exercise???

    If the wax doesn't work, try muttluks…my B wears them. It's funny at first for her, but she adjusts and takes her usual walks with them. Keep us posted on how the wax works...very interesting!

    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.
