Dog Clothing

My eldest staff has colour dilute alopecia and feels the cold !
The older he gets the more hair he loses but his skin beneath is pigmented so he doen't look odd. In this cold snap he's in and out all day through the dog flap (its a big one ) in the garden and his skin is sometimes cold to touch so im on the hunt for something lighter than a dog coat that would give him a layer of warmth.
But i have had extreme difficulties in finding clothing for him that isn't a novelty that makes him look like a christmas cracker, or dresses him up to look like a handbag dog lol that i can buy.
Ideally i would like some basic vests T shirt type material or a sweatshirt type that i can put on him and shove in the washing machine when they get dirty.
Does anyone out there know where i could get some ?

Love my boys !

i have moved your post as you will get more replies here,hope you didnt mind
i have a coat for sash,it has two layers,a fleece linner to keep her warm and a outer waterproof coat,you can take the fleece linner out,it is made by Danish design and i have seen them in a lot of pet shops,they are good coats

Hey, bless him! What about something like this?

Do you have any local markets to try? if you get the material from them they'll be able to get you rolls of it the same way they have it.

yesterday i got bobbs a gorgeous muddy paws fleece linen rain coat and were very happy with it its the only one i find that covers her almost bare tummy. if you dont need a rain coat they do easy wash fleece jumpers as well.

hi Ian i wouldnt go for it as i thought its great as well when i saw it but met a guy who actually got it for his westie that hated it i think it restricts their movement too much and just too hot for most of winter days here

Hmmm good point Lily. I'm really looking for something to keep her tummy warm and dry I guess.

what do you think of the muddy paws city coat&chest protector if you feeling it pink..? or the storm guard one? it also protects the tummy

Sometimes wish i cud knit

Hi Stella Didn't mind at all and thank you all for your quick responses.
rachel 33 thats just the thing i am after (not in pink though) lol.

I've found some... Yippeee took me nearly all day and trawling through loads of web sites but i have found them in a variety of colours with Aberdoggie & Fetch written on the back. I have ordered a couple and i will let you know what they are like.

Thanks again if it wasn't for your leads i wouldn't have come across them.

might not seem like much but can make a huge difference to paws and that is mushers secret. will guard against the cold on paws and also keep off all the salt that is around this time of year. only about 10 quid a pot and last a whole season. i use it on mine for running and only need to use a pea sized application each foot once a week. also known as the invisible boot, and yes its that effective, my guys feet take a pounding and when marley split a paw he healed it in one week with this stuff. you can get it from amazon for a decent price.
