winter coats

by **Staffy lover** Mon Sep 24 2012, 09:00

I have noticed Pixee does not like the cold now. She was fine when we first had her in January, with snow, frost etc. Now its going cold, she likes to be warm, I was thinking of getting her a outdoors coat, have any of you got one for your staffies, or do you let them brave the cold?

Suki has a couple of different coats as well as rain/snow suits

by **Staffy lover** Mon Sep 24 2012, 09:08

Can I see pictures, and where do you get them from please Big Grin

by Guest Mon Sep 24 2012, 09:12

Here are a couple. We shop mostly on Amazon or a pet store where we can try them on first.

Moo has a coat, its made by 'Rambo Horsewear' its waterproof, drys quickly and she is a mucky pup so washes easily and wipes clean, I wouldn't say it was pretty but certainly practical Smile

by **Staffy lover** Mon Sep 24 2012, 09:31

Wow thank you for this, just had a look at what they are. Smile

by **Kathy** Mon Sep 24 2012, 10:28

I dont have any pictures but Rocky has a coat that we got from our local garden centres pets corner. I think it's an Ancol one and is a bright red colour and nice and cozy warm and dry.

by **bullsmommy1** Mon Sep 24 2012, 13:08

Bulley has the same one as Jstaff but it's a darker brown very cosy I must say

by **Staffy lover** Mon Sep 24 2012, 13:19

Wow that looks brillant kaz. Well I think I will get Pixee one, cos they do pink Love Struck

and the hole for the harness is what I need. I been looking and not able to find a pink one so far. Think it will be the Large one, cos Pixee from base of neck to tail is 19" and girth 25, but it says they have a 2" adjustment roun d girth and neck so should work out fine.

by **Jackieb** Mon Sep 24 2012, 13:22

Awesome thx for that eBay link, just bought a black one for Tank.

by **kaztaz** Mon Sep 24 2012, 13:37

£3 from pets at home! I got this one and a green one, only ones left in her size. They will be great for when she's indoors during the day. Just need to find a waterproof now

by Guest Tue Sep 25 2012, 04:08

I ordered one for Loki earlier from Amazon. It's waterproof but also padded or whatever. He's a wimp, he won't go outside if it's raining or cold, so I don't know what we're going to do until it arrives, but after that there will be no excuse. This guy I know whose dog Loki plays with laughed at the idea and said, "He's a dog, he has fur, don't buy him a coat. Have you ever seen a Staff with a coat? All the dogs will pick on him." Then I look here and it's coats, sweaters and the lot Laughing

Until the coat gets here, will it be OK to take Loki out in the rain without anything on, or is that just too mean? I can only imagine how hyperactive he'll be without a walk.

by **Taryn** Tue Sep 25 2012, 08:22

it was hand made at this pet store sorry honey Big Grin

Tara, like you I am waiting for Pixees outdoor coat, and I am going to have to be cruel to be kind, its still walkies in the rain, but shorter ones instead.

Skye is always nice and cosy in hers

by **Staffy lover** Tue Sep 25 2012, 11:17

Wow wow, suprise, Pixees coat came today. Tested it on her today in the fields to see how she got on, after a few mins of looking and saying get it off me, and me saying 'leave' she settled down. Love Struck

by **janey** Tue Sep 25 2012, 11:45

Very nice Lynn Smile

by **kaztaz** Tue Sep 25 2012, 11:54

wow that was quick you will have to let me know what you think of it Big Grin

by **Staffy lover** Tue Sep 25 2012, 12:01

Thank you Janey. Big Grin

Its thinner than excepted, dont reckon it would be warm enough for the cold winters, but for now for the rain etc its perfect, plus I wasnt sure how Pixee was going to take to wearing coats and didnt want to spend a lot on a first one if it wasnt going to work out, so yeah overall for price and now its perfect. Its perfect for wearing over those hoodies some of your lovely staffies wear too for that extra bit of warmth and keeping it dry in the rain. I am pleased with it Kaz. Big Grin

by **kaztaz** Tue Sep 25 2012, 12:07
