Doggie coats
-
Some time back there were several comments regarding sources for good quality dog coats for winter. I can't find this thread (the comments were buried in another topic) :o . If you have a source for good dog coats (not the sweater type - EL D just chews those to pieces) would you mind sharing.
-
I would check out the web for suggestions.
Seems to me that LL Bean had some. -
LOL, I just wrote about the ones I use. I don't know if it is a sweater type to you, but I use fido fleece and Tiggy and I love them. Sit Stay has the best prices the fleeces are the first listed

TuckerVA and I talked about these. We both go the x-small and they were to small, and the small size fits but is a little long. For Tiggy I'm not to worried because he's got a little more growing to do. Tiggy right now is 15 inches from collar to tail
Over Coat in Blue or Overcoat in Red -
I really want this kind, but they're just too expensive for me!
-
I can't believe how expensive these are! I know I am on the cheap side, but I have a hard time even spending $50 on a sweater for myself! Does anyone know where you can find sweaters at a more reasonable price?
-
I found coats from a link in one of the threads a few months ago; www.ruffwear.com. I really like the coats I got for my two B-boys.
-
Oooh I do like those coats at montanaware - especially the reflective one - but $70 - ouch.
-
Here is a place that offers Fido fleece at a reduced price.
-
Land's End has good quality coats. www.landsend.com

The ruffwear coats have a good chest piece that keeps the heart and lungs warm. The montanawear seems to only have a wide strip that runs under the chest area but doesn't seem to cover much… Maybe I'm wrong? As WBL said, I have the ruffwear Overcoat. The chest piece covers the underside all the way to the base of the ribcage AND gives snug back/side coverage. Love it. (It does need to be shortened, though, on his back)
-
I have both coats…yes my dogs are spoiled :) and I like the Montana Dogwear coats are much better coverage for frigid temps 15 degrees & below :eek: since the fleece part covers the neck all the way down to chest & underbelly & and the Ruff wear are good for chilly windy days...IMO :)

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
