Good place for dog coats?

You've got sighthounds, you should know... Do the coats at those places tend to fit the chest-n-belly shape?

Wow, those coats all seem to be really small sizes...

Yea Let me look- tell me how thick you want it?//edit//- my guys where a raincoat especially at shows and it was perfect attaching a link and this was JB Wholesale- I use the regular yellow rain coat worn by the pug in a XX large for guys, But the one worn by the boxer is also for a deep chested dog.
I agree- its hard to find coats for these guys!

Well, the winter temp. is about 35, plus very windy off the water.

edited above post. The rain coats are lined with just a light fabric- very light. Just enough to insulate. Usually if they dont get damp they stay warm enough. If I had a grayhound I would use the one worn by the boxer.

That one is a little thick. Remember- they put alot of heat in the chest area.

I dunno if you could possible get TOO thick. lol, she's got a thin coat, and it is very cold here.

I'm not really looking for a raincoat. I'm looking for a really thick winter one.

Its cold here too but granted my guys have a coat. If its too much bulk in the front it will make the heart too hot. They need insulation on the back. You know your weather better than I do obviously- either would do, however I am concerned that one might be too much. Then again- she is only going out for a few minutes. A dog can overheat in a coat as I know you know already.
