Here's a good tip for all you new pup owners, get your pups used to hairdryers. They save a load of hassle and reduce the time of wet smelly dog time. All of my dogs loved the hairdryer treatment both lurchers and terriers.

Not at all, excuseme. I just put the explanation in case anyone else might have thought that.

Our terrier type mix is so active and tends to overheat so a light coat is purely for lead rest in the snow, and nothing in the rain. Once in a hailstorm we took shelter as best we could and I had to cover him with my own coat. But last year I noticed his limp when he got wet and cold so I put the coat on after his bath. Same as JoanneF I'm not keen on dressing up animals, not even the hilarious Christmas day antlers etc, but respect any dog's need for functional coats etc.

So our Botty does like to walk when it is raining but not to hard. When it rains cats and dogs? He doenst seem to fond of it.

I was thinking to buy him a raincoat for those days. And to be honest I find also cute looking which he can use cause he looks like he will bite when he is curious or interested . (Its a cross boxer/pug or dachshund/pug, so big eyes and a overbite.)

On the other hand I also know many others will be judgemental about it. With my previous furry I got in many discussions over his cooling jacket on hot summer days. So I am wondering how all stand in the dog jackets department.

My Peddie loved his equafleece coat, they are custom made for each dog (or any animal) so are very comfy and waterproof. So I got the same for Pixie & Poppy too but they don’t like to wear their coats at all, won’t even walk if I put them on!!!
