Cheap dog coat

For these horrible wet days/nights I decided to get Logan a coat but didn't want to spend a fortune, this one say's it is showerproof and has a fleece lining, it arrived today and I tested it tonight, get's a thumbs up from me and was only £12 including postage :)

    Oooh good idea, are the stripes on it quite reflective?
    Something like that would be good for our evening road walks. Not sure about anything cross country though as the minute he spots water he is in it, so the coat wouldn't stand a chance!

    Ours came with a coat.

    (A sort of furry thing. )
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    Yeah it's reflective :)

    Makes life easier and Mr Logan is high maintenance, he does love the rain but likes to be towel dried when he gets in so the coat stops that :) and also the wet dog smell lol...

    Here he is

    If your handy with a sewing machine you could always make one, I made the ones below for about 2/3 pound each, they're really easy and just look like big babies bibs with straps around the middle.

    Good idea kinski, although I dont have a sewing machine. Do you think fabric glue could make something similar? I am too lazy to try sewing it all by hand!

    Don't think the fabric glue would hold the seems shut for very long and I couldn't be bothered sewing something like that by hand either. Con I never used to be crafty apart from knitting my brats baby clothes but I just thought stuff it I'm giving sewing a go, I'm not great the coats and sock monkeys are about it for me but one day I'll try something more adventurous.
