Do you mean the coat to stop fluffy bits sticking up? Try www.drydogcoats.co.uk

i'll have a look on there thanks and yes thats the sort of thing i mean :)

Don't know but my local PAH had some really good dog coats of different types recently reduced to £5.00. 

An old t-shirt does the job too if you can't find one :-D Not that my setter is ever in any kind of 'show ready' state :-o but her breeder used to use one :-)

I prefer the drycoats, but theres also "Shine-on" http://www.shineoncoat.co.uk/

thanks dakkobear i'll use a t-shirt untill i get my drycoat :)

I bought a drydog coat for the Golden at Crufts. It's brilliant. She dries without any sticking-up bits. Even the root of the tail goes flat. Their tel number is
01790 763574

<<Even the root of the tail goes flat>>

LOL that's the coat for my gang! Actually I might try it on my head...:)

Thanks G rets thats brill wish i'd have bought one there, did you have to get it made to measure or did you buy one "off the peg"

thanks

Mine is a standard "medium" but the lady who makes them is very helpful and will advise for your breed. The coat needs to appear too long or it will not drop over the rump and you will get the hair of the root of the tail sticking up. Make sure you brush it as flat as poss before putting on the coat then leave until completely dry.
