whipbed 42 Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 i sometimes put raincoats on my dogs if its raining bad because i,m lazy and saves me drying them when they get back into the house, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Huan72 687 Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 If coats are available, why not use them....................when there's a chill in the air and the rains so heavy that you hear it before it gets to you, your dogs gonna thank you for it If I am out a fair way from the car, as well as the first aid kit, I always take a dog coat that I made from an old wetsuit,. a bit OTT but I like to be self reliant when out and about. I have never needed the coat yet to retain my dogs body heat, but I did have a dog collapse once from an auto immune problem 5 miles from the car. The weather was ok on that day, but if it was cold and raining, who knows if my old dog would have made it In that type of situation, the smallest factor can make the difference between death and survival. My dog dosen't care how she looks in the coat, she only knows how hot, cold or wet she is......................you can get cooling coats too, in fact they sometimes use them for military dogs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've got 2 in my first aid kit. They'll work better than any wetsuit and you don't know that you're carrying them. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like your way of thinking, I have them in my first aid kit too, you just never know when your gonna need them. My wife thinks i'm mad but I like to be prepared!

bullx100% 681 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 if it pissing down of rain out side you put a coat on .........so why not put one on the dog...i no if my dogs lived in the house and it was pissing down with rain id put a coat on if it saved me drying the dog when i got home....how do you all no he was out working the dog for all anyone noes he could just be exercising the dog and if that's the case and its pissing down is the coat going do any damage???? other than ruin his street cred by walking round with a dog in a coat which from my guess is that the lad doesn't give two shtis what anyone thinks.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The difference would be that a dog that needed a coat in September would severely suffer come the middle of winter and wouldn't be much use on a full days work in the ice cold and snow .......... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The difference would be that a dog that needed a coat in September would severely suffer come the middle of winter and wouldn't be much use on a full days work in the ice cold and snow .......... the dog has thin skin which i believe most (if not all ) whippets have and im sure there's plenty off people who run pure whippets through out the winter and have no problems with cold and snow.and like he put in his post the coat is to stop from rain not cold.........if i owned a whippet (which i wouldn't unless a whippet lurcher)and was out doing a days ferreting id take a coat for the dog while walking from set to set and simply take the coat off soon as ferrets are enterd.
