Can anybody suggest a good coat for two more mature ladies.

Both 10 years, one a GR and one a BC. We're off to Cornwall for the two weeks over Xmas, staying in a lovely cottage and as it's not the dry season down there :(  I want something that's more to protect the cottage from shaking dogs when we arrive back from our rain swept walks and gives me chance to grab the drying towels for rub down.

I use towelling dog coats, put them on the dogs as soon as we get home then if they shake the mud and water doesnt go everywhere look here [url=]http://www.overhill.co.uk/shop/jackets/index.htm [/url]

if it is waterproof jackets you want then country mun are quite good (they also do towelling jackets.)  http://www.countrymun.com/general/dog-coats

Thanks ClaireyS I'llgive those sites a visit.

all in one suits at country mun if the weather is foul or if you dont need warmth just to keep dry I have foul weather coats. pet planet sell them .

I have bought from these people before.

Good service and well fitting coats.

Hi Starryeyes

I'll view there also, it is actually just to keep them dry rather than warm, I'm bothered that when we arrive back at the cottage, the wet waggy tail marks and soggy bodies will cause havoc with the decor :(

Love the pictures of the towelling bag ect prices are reduced as well on country mun

great waterproof coats, cheap and not lined, i got for my dogs just to keep them dry not extra warmth and yours wont need warmth as they have thick coats

Hi Pinky,
Cant see the coats on pet planet although they usually do sell them I found them here

PAH often have dog coats - i bought just a kagool type for my terrier so theres no warmth but its waterproof. yopu could always put a 'human' t shirt (snug fitting) on them first so there fur underneath doesnt get splashed.

Have you considered a trouser suit like this and just remove it when you get home?  They're easier to wash and dry than the dog! :)
