Which winter coat?

Can any of you with nice winter coats for your Staffies kindly send me a link to which ones you have please.

It's already getting chilly up here on the hills of Exmoor and the trees are already turning colours and dropping leaves!
I felt for poor Chase this morning (and Matt) out in the freezing, driving rain so spent most of the afternoon travelling round various country stores and pet shops looking for that perfect coat with no success

We only have thick winter coats, both Millie and Chaos have these:

This one looks good too, possibly less thick than the first one which really is a winter coat

Thank you!
They're a lot cheaper than what I was originally looking at!
That first one looks a looks a lot better. Chase is a roller so the Velcro will just come undone when he has his mad five minutes.

Zooplus is good value, worth bookmarking!

Misty has this Equafleece coat as our trainer recommended it as Misty is terrible with coats, she hates wearing them. It's amazing, so lightweight and it doesn't go over her head so she doesn't mind wearing it.

They look great!
Loving the full on onesies.

We got Flo's coat from Wyevale the garden centre, the one near us has a pet concession and it was the only one we found that suited all our needs

Question for Liz about the grizzly coat ...

Can it be used with a harness?
I'm gonna order Chase one on Friday but can't find any pictures or information to say it can be?!

I expand the harness and put it on top of the coat

That was gonna be my next question lol.

Thank you x

I’m bumping up this thread as I've already tested a few possibilities but have several observations.
Most coats are great but when Nifty lowers her head to sniff the floor, the back of the coat lifts up and she gets a cold bum. I also tried the knitted jumper option but I find they pull back on her chest and she doesn’t like the restriction.

I love the look of those equafleece tankies but I'm concerned that they’re not windproof.
Does anyone have experience/recommendations for a truly windproof and warm yet supple coat with a large enough breast for a staffie ?
Liz - do you think the zooplus ones fit my needs ?

Wait till I'm home next week and we'll do some modelling for you.

Cool ! Thanks Liz
Loving the new avatar btw

Here's Duke last winter in the same coat that Liz recommended. It's very warm and stays in place,

Thanks very much for posting the lovely photo

Aww look at him!

I'm still yet to order Chase one.
Decided to get him neutered first instead of getting his coat but that is now next in the list.

That's the one, Shirl! It's months since they had their coats on but I don't remember them slipping at all, and it's definitely a good fit for Chaos's chest. The only fit problem is that it's a bit droopy round the chest for Millie, but then she's a squirt.

In the meantime, I’ve been searching for different styles of coat.
What is it with hoods on dog coats ?! I cannot see the slightest use of a hood for a dog other than looking ridiculous and being clumpy.

Hey Mistys Mum - can I ask what size equafleece Misty wears ?
I appreciate that all dogs are different but I’m having trouble measuring a wriggly Nifty and am estimating 18” pug. Would that sound realistic for 7 month 15kg staffy ?
Will try to ring them tomorrow for advice if I don’t get in from work too late.

Nifty - I’ve been having a nightmare getting the size right with hank for his coat, I bought a medium.. too small, exchange for a large.. too small, now awaiting an XL this better fit as it’s so cold and lots of rain now where I’m at so I’d probably recommend buying all the sizes and sending back which don’t fit her

That’s a good point and sound advice
