coats

By the time it kicks into winter loki will be 8-10 months old, I was wondering if anyone has a little coat for their pup and what to go for??

I have a Danish design for Katy, has waterproof top layer & a removable fleece layer for when its cold.

yes i have the same for sasha,she walked a bit funny to begin with but soon got use to it   

Rocky has a Muddy Paws coat for the winter when it's windy/cold like the one in the link below but red coloured:

I have a few lol .............. Danish Design also

sorry each to their own and all that...... but coats for dogs just seem wrong to me! what's wrong with the one they are born with?

Moo really feels the cold, and also with her arthritis I need to keep her warm

if it's for the arthritis then fair enough but with the greatest of respect when is it ever cold enough here to warrant an extra layer on a natural fur coat? it's england not alaska!

I see your point but as you said each to their own Xx

tessa comes walking with me in the brecon beacons in the middle of winter and i am sure that if i put a coat on her she would just refuse to go.
to be honest i think it's more me having an issue with people putting clothes on their pets. i have a tennant,a young blonde girl very dizzy,who has a little fluffy thing that she insists on putting in a dress when she takes it out. just very bizzare.

Yeah, i dont see the point unless its like 8'C or below, and even then i think its better to just run and warm up in the park

Chaos looooooooves running, every chance he gets he will run and run and run so i dont think I need a coat lol

Also he got in shape since i got him! Hes a lot more defined! I cant wait to see him fully grown!

Loki will still be quite young when a coat is needed and he shakes when it's out and raining...so I thought I would get one for extra measure...I can understand your point of clothes....I live in Devon and although everyone says it's really sunny...it really isn't ahah!!

I bought Stella's first coat last winter. She has very thick fur and I did'nt think she needed one until then as she is getting old. Just like an old person they need an extra layer in the winter  

Lula had one and it come in really handy as she refused to go out if it was cold and she was only tiny. The one we had was fleeced and water proof, she now to big for it. I will be looking at one for her for the colder weather and the rain

We didn't use a coat for Floyd until his last winter. He had arthritis and lumbo sacral stenosis (degeneratimg spine) and we only used the coat when he went for a walk, rather than a run.
its still up for debate whether this was for his benefit or our piece of mind!! Either way, he wasn't a fan!

Lokis fur is really thin and when it's chucking it down he just sits there and shakes and won't move.... So I just wanted one for when it rains, as it does alot here!!

Darcy is practically bald underneath and round her botty so really shivers in the cold and yes she has 3/4 different coats and 2/3 jumpers too

Aha awww I'm gonna have a look online in a minute

Danish design r awesome coats...also buster but they tad pricier but have a zip at back for harness which is cool. Mine turns into a statue when i put one on her tho!

I have an equafleece for millie it's brill is a fleece that's waterproof and thermal covers front legs and that tummy area where they have no fur x

Rupert has this one and looks cool in it. Very easy to put on and not too expensive:
