I'm colder at 40 F here than I was at 0 F in Oklahoma. The humidity makes the cold just sink into your bones.

Lucky and Ilka have lightweight coats from Petsmart, and heavier coats from Jeffers. They're not the best, but they work.

I really like the Weatherbeeta coats, I ordered mine from Jeffers - Pet Supplies, Equine Supplies, Livestock Supplies , and they are under $20! Weatherbeeta makes horse blankets as well, so they are similar in style to the horse blankets they make. Here is a link to one of the coatshttp://www.jefferspet.com/orican-squares-dog-blanket/p/0V-GA1/cn/100001/

Yes, it's me Mandy Bondy (Jaimand Dobermans!), I've been a member to this forum for a few years, but never seem to have time to get it all figured out

, being I'm home on maternity leave, I decided to take the plunge while my little human guy is napping

Yay! Welcome to the forum! It's very nice to have someone semi-local that I can recommend

I saw you take your girl through the WAE this summer...I was the "friendly stranger" during the test

Didn't have a chance to chat with you that day, but I recognize your name from Doberman Rescue Minnesota, too (I'm Nicole from DRM

).

How does their sizing work for you? I looked, but the size that would fit the chest is 4 inches too short in the body.

Sam wears a 26. He's about 88 lbs. The coat won't cover the entire body length. Sam's coat stops about 4 inches as well

Chanel is fairly small - I was able to find a navy bright stripe dog parka as well as the mcdawg fleece. $10 shipping for both to Canada. (I just hope they post it, cause UPS's brokerage is expensive.)

Thanks for the info!

Nice! I love Fido Fleece because it can be worn alone or if extra cold, layered under their Chilly Dog coat (from Canada) Chilly Dogs - Outdoor gear for Active Dogs - Dog Coats

Ivan's long and lanky and hasn't developed much of a chest at this point. He's a little over a year now.

Hi I've got the full range of Hurtta for my babies and love them.
My 10 month old girl is in a 55cm and they fit her well even though she hasn't filled out.
The other two girls both have 60 cm coats. I went up a size so it was bigger in the chest and they fit perfectly.
My boy is in a 65cm

I've also got them the ultimate warmer for when we get the snow. These coats are fantastic the best coats I have seen.

A friend sent me a link to this website (Home) and I'm glad she did. The coats are custom made and fit my girl perfectly! Highly recommend!

I ended up keeping neither - the fido fleece was too small in the chest - I was reluctant to go up 7 inches to the next size - so it went to a friend's dog. (btw, the website sizing details were bigger than the hangtag. Another inch - like the website said - and it might have been okay.)

The navy bright stripe parka was a front opening. I haven't had a dog for 30 years, never had a dog that needed a coat & missed the fact that front opening with no stretch won't work on a dog with long legs. I sold that one on kijiji for my cost.

I ended up with a lovely winter coat from Chilly Dogs & now Chanel has the coat & the sweater.

Now - if only I could get rid of the static...... (I think it must be her fur, too dry?)
