Good place for dog coats?

[borzoimom]

That will last for years...

Hopefully

also if you wash it- on cold water on delicate cycle. It will help the stitching alot and the color.

[GreyhoundGirl]

I probably won't wash it much, washing it would make it thinner

[borzoimom]

lolllll I gotcha!

Thanks for all your help

A friend of mine had a coat made for her dog, there custom made. The lady that makes them lives in Canada. Here is the link.

I'll check it out.

I'm going to get one from Weatherbeeta for my dog. They're originally made for horses and are super durable and thick

[GreyhoundGirl]

Hun? If they are made for horses how do they fit dogs?

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I got Piper's coats from www.dogedesigns.com. There are nicer out there, but she's located in Canada (Ontario, actually) and her products aren't overly expensive. The lady who wons the site makes them for greyhounds, so maybe she could make a custom fit one for Jenny since she isn't purebred.

The ones from that needlenose link are beautiful though, and look pretty warm.

[GreyhoundGirl]

Hmmmmmm, those are much cheaper.

Which one do you think would be warmer: the quilted or Berber Coat?

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I think the berber would be, but you could always e-mail her and ask. She's very, very helpful. I have the quilted one for Piper and it keeps her pretty warm, but I think the berber would be thicker.

Andrea (Needle Nose) makes fabulous coats. Her masterpieces are worn by all the most fashionable hounds on GT If you want a high quality, high fashion coat, I'd definitely recommend her. While you're at it, you should also invest in a four-legged jammie. The temps here never drop below 40-45F so I can't indulge in these luxuries.

However, if you're also looking for a flimsy-ish, one-layer fleece coat, you can't go wrong with Carol:

Here's one of Carol's coats:


Here's a homemade one:

Aha ! I see Giselle is doing what she does best.


I've never really understood why people got PJs, I mean, really how cold do they keep their house?

I've heard really good things about needlenose (from Project Racing Home, another greyhound forum ) but for the price, I hope they are good, because they are really rather expensive.

Now, for a question: That home-made one, I assume it was made by you or a family member, do you have the "recipie?" (sorry, couldn't think of the word... )

Edit: And I'll definetly look into Carol, her's seem more with in my allowence
