    More expensive, I'm waiting for Tiggy to be done growing to buy one, but I really like the look of these

    Seems like we'd all have a little 'weirdo' in us based on our 'breed of choice'! :rolleyes:

    And it could be worse…poor dog could be wearing something like these:


  • I was at Big Lots yesterday, and they had Fido Fleece coats for $7. They were the kind with the velcro across the back. The size tag recommended sizes 12 or 14 for basenjis, but I had to get a size 16 for it to be long enough.


  • Actually what the FidoFleece site does not show is that the velcro openings are along the top of the back. You lay the coat open on the floor and just have to set your B down setting feet in front openings and whoosh - pull up the sides and the coat is on.

    If there is a fido fleece dealer near you or at the show - check out thier sale rack - last years colors great price - I don't think I've paid more than $15.00 for any of them - including a cute little windbreaker that was fleece on one side and water repellant on the other (with a hood)


  • PS I don't do the 4 legged coats - way to complicated!!!!!!


  • I don't know if anyone has a Pet Supply Outlet by them, but we have one in Sheboygan, and it had great winter coats. I didn't want to spend much, and I got this one for $20. It is a nice winter coat, and it doesn't have the holes for the paws, instead there are just two velcro strips that go around her middle and chest. The brand is Fashion Pet, I don't know if you can get them elsewhere or not. They aren't anything special, but its a reasonable, simple, yet warm coat that my dog actually doesn't mind wearing.
    I tried a different one earlier that had paw holes, and it was a struggle to get it on her, plus once I did she refused to move :) She looked so sad wearing it that I had to take it back and try something else!


  • Here is a link to the coat I mentioned above. The medium fit perfectly for Tosca, although I guess being a little heavy at 20 lbs the vet said she is a little petite.


  • Duh forgot the link…can you tell its getting late?

    Its long so you might have to copy/paste rather than click.


  • I have found with my B that most coats that I have bought do not fit her very good. I have found one at www.ruffwear.com, that I am going to order this week. It has gotten really cold here in NC and my B, Sahara, is freezing when I take her outside. She just shakes, and shakes when she goes potty, I feel so sorry for her. The coat I have is nicely lined with fleece but it is not long enough for her long body and sticks up in the back, the cold wind goes right up her back. The K-9 coat at ruffwear is sized by length of dog and girth, so it should fit better. It is expensive but it will probably be the last coat I get her, she is 2 and I don't expect her to grow any more and I want to keep her at 23-25 pds to be healthy. Besides if I keep buying these cheap ones that don't fit good I have wasted my money.


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

    @elbrant The first time I took Ibis lure coursing: I let go, and she ran straight to the lunch stand! It was in the opposite direction of the field. I don't think she could figure out why a dog would run after an empty bag, when everyone knows, they're much more interesting when heavy!

    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!

    @TuckerVA: There is a Mexican Hairless in my neighborhood and he's got a -40F coat. It also has a knitted neck that comes up to the ears almost. Not sure what brand/type it is, but I can check if anyone is interested… It just doesn't get that cold here in Va, at least not in the 10 years I've been here. I think it rarely gets below the high teens here. I would be interested in that

    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.
