Toby wore a little coat at the kennels but I don’t have one for him thinking he’s a Lakeland, he’s made for conditions worse than this 😉 now its getting into winter (or it feels like it!) do you lot have any advice or should I let him be as he came into the world? Also any advice on a super absorbent washes well doggy towel? Have a Wilko one but is disintegrating in the wash :nono:
Discovered tonight he’s terrified of my brolly going up poor man, how we;ve gone nine months without finding this out I don’t know, better dig the berghauses out again!
Rain rain rain…

September 5, 2008 at 9:46 pm #68850*Lassie*MemberI bought good quality human towels for mine they wash up well 😉 Tam has a rain coat as he has arthritis but normally the only dogs to need a coat are ones with thin coats like greyhounds.

September 6, 2008 at 10:45 am #68852Foxisle_crazyMemberI bought one of those towels at crufts a couple of years ago, its very good on Izzy’s coat. I aslo have an equafleece jumper thingy i put on her after she’s been swimming, it dries her in half an hour. And if she’s dry it keeps her dry, its very good and purple which is her fav colour! :gum:
This is the one she has

September 6, 2008 at 6:38 pm #68856TobyTeaCosy and AngelaMemberCool, thanks everyone, will cue shake, don’t know why that didn’t cross my mind, he shook muddy water in the hall and my mam nearly killed me >:D will get shake on cue and cue it before we step inside! Won’t be letting him dry off naturally Bev, he’s what my dad calls a skirting board scruff, he walks so close to the walls we got muddy streaks everywhere!
September 6, 2008 at 7:31 pm #68857SuzAndTheDivaMemberHoney shakes on cue – I quite often let her in wet – she dries herself on my bed ;D I think she does wonder why the same method cant apply when she has a bath…………. 😉
