Esyn - re: greyhounds

Its very possible I already asked you this but I'm assuming you have a winter coat for Bullseye? If so, where did you buy it?

NGAP has the ugliest coats and I have a front runner of a place online but I'd like to see some other options.

Re: Esyn - re: greyhounds

  • I  forget where we got her coat (it's a black fleece one that came with a snood). It's actually not that great, though, and I want to get her another one. It's not lined and I don't think it keeps her warm. The black fleece attracts fur, too, so it never looks clean!

    Where were you looking to get one?

  • I was thinking about maybe getting them from here:

    http://k9apparel.com/

    There was another place I saw online that also looked like great quality but they were $100. I'd have to find it again. K9 is the only website that I found so far that seems to really know what they're talking about and is well organized. Their color choices are just eh though.

  • I think you should ask around on the Pets board.  Please remind them of pugglegate while there.  :-)

  • Did you tell them it was for your designer puggle/greyhound hybrid?
  • Cutters Mill has high quality pet clothing.  There is a store in Chalfont.

    I'm not sure they would have winter coats in stock yet.  Then you could see and try them on in person.   

  • Thanks ladies! I'll look into these :)

    The winter ones look nice. Let me know what you go with! I need something warm for Bullseye b/c she hates going out in the cold. We also have a raincoat for her too (it's bright yellow of course), but we got it from Greyhound Angels.

  • I was going to recommend the barn coat as well. We have one of those for our senior jack russell, it's easy to get on and off and keeps her really warm.

    Julia-dog's jacket is from K9, but after looking at the website, it's not the same brand. Her fur coat is very thin (like a greyhounds) and she has no fur on her belly.  It's like a puffy down jacket that Velcros down the length of her belly.  She's not the same size as a greyhound, but I found the prices to be reasonable.  I also have seen them on LandsEnd.com, too. ETA: Correction: llbean.com. 

    I bought ours at DoggyStyle on the 300 block of Market Street in Old City. There's one closer to Center City and I think they might have one in the 'burbs.

  • Kernal -- just make sure whatever coat you buy is definitely for greyhounds. Sometimes if you buy a coat at a regular dog store, even if it's for a large breed, it won't fit greyhounds!

    I'll also add that the coat we got from Greyhound Angels Adoption when we first got her, was pink fleece with butterflies. My husband always felt a little silly walking her in that, so that's why we bought the black fleece the following season.

  • I was also scooping out this place because they look like they are really great quality but it was $95 for the winter jacket and I just can't do it.

  • After a little digging, I found the place we got Bullseye's raincoat. They were great to deal with and it looks like the winter one (w/ the waterproof outer, and fleece liner) is only $50.

    Hrmm maybe it's in Canadian dollars? They look pretty nice.

  • I should have mentioned...I want one specially made. I was afraid that if I got a large breed coat it wouldn't fit her properly. My goal was always to buy a coat specifically for greys so that I would know for sure it would fit her comfortably.

    I did tell The Dude that I'm getting her a pink coat but it'll be solid hopefully. No butterflies! ha.

  • Esyn..I think this is my final answer:

    K9 Apparel has a shop on etsy, which is easier to look through the items, in my opinion. I'm going to get her the winter coat and the belly warmer. They suggest pairing the two when its 20 degrees. The belly warmer is like a small fleece jacket. I figure she can wear that by itself in the spring/fall, instead of getting her the spring/fall jacket. This way it'll serve two purposes.

    Let me know what you think of that idea?! ha.
