Winter coats

Found a nice dog coat? Found a cozy pub that's Schnauzer friendly or even a Schnauzer friendly B&B. Feel free to share it here. Basically anything that we would want to buy for our Schnauzer goes here.

Winter coats

Post by Dinkum »

Right, good people. I need some fashion advice. Grandparents want to buy Rupert a coat for Christmas and I'm unsure what to get. Any recommendations with links would be appreciated. I would like something that will keep him warm and protect the underbelly in case it snows.

I was thinking of something in red tartan, but people already think he is a Scottie and I don't want to encourage them. Budget of up to about £50.

I quite like this http://www.petplanet.co.uk/product_grou ... pg_id=1424" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; . Anyone got one?

Or this one. http://www.theonlinepetstore.co.uk/prod ... -Coats-522" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks in advance.

This was Obi's first coat, was a real shame he grew to big. It kept him really warm but was a bit of a pain to dry if it got wet with it being waxed.

I like the red Hurtta one. It would look very smart against Ruperts shiny black colouring

Red Hurta definitely, if only 'cos its so expensive - just what a present should be.

The Hurtta one looks brilliant and would be easy to put on.
I couldn't see an explanation of the sizing. Normally it's just the measurement from the back of the neck to the start of the tail.

Just to add I'd probably go for the hurtta, looks much more practical!

Also, if you're wanting a something like the wax jacket, have a look at the barbour website.

Flint has this one..... Just got a 16" for him, as the 14" wasn't very big with the fleece inner inside. It's water proof & available in red.....

It helps if I put the link in......

I've just ordered Annie the red Hurtta jacket. I'll post a piccie when it arrives. I normally buy my Hurtta gear from Finland because they have a better selection [Hurtta being Finnish] but http://www.muddypaws.co.uk/?vlsrc=gaw&g ... 4QodsBXAog" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; sells their whole range now and if they don't have something they'll order it.

Forgot to say that the Hurtta jackets are really high quality, hence the price. I have a Hurtta jacket myself that's made out of the same fabric as the dog coats and it's completely waterproof and you can wipe it clean [you can also machine wash the coats no problem]
One big plus for me in the dog coats are the leg straps. It's almost always windy where we walk and they stop the coat flicking back.

I think I also came to the conclusion that the Hurtta winter jacket is what we wanted, although I decided to go for the blue one in the end. Rupert has so much red and its getting a bit much now. Black dog always wearing red. When it arrives, I'll get him to model it. http://www.k9active.co.uk/Pro-Winter-Ja ... 000pwj.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I decided to get the 40cm one. Rather a little too big than too small. Will get it from muddy paws though as they are cheaper.

We've just bought Flynn the raincoat version on the same k9 website in green 42cm (it's a teeny bit big) reduced to £39. It's very easy to get on and off and great quality. Rupert will look very smart in his winter style!

Flynn, how much is teeny bit big. The 40cm may be too small for him if you got the 42. Rupert is a big boy.

Oh Obi looks so cute, we got Wookie an ANCOL ALL WEATHER coat from http://www.nutsaboutmutts.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; we got a medium which although its a bit long it fits pretty well round, I started a post back in september "Waterproof dog coat ready for a wet winter" back in sept & put all the info on there if its any use, but now I've seen the Hurrta coat I think I'd like to get her one of those aswell.
This is Wookie in a Medium (bit long but covers more)

The photo of her on the sofa is a small but not quite long enough, but at least you can see how well it covers underneath
