Thread: Dog coat, what's everyone using?

Recently bought a blaze Stony creek dog jacket to keep my Weimaraner warm/visible out hunting. Not all that happy with it for the $44 it cost me. What's everyone else out there using.

we picked up two of them $5 each from op shop...dogs love them.
nothing beats neopreme for keeping them warm..but those oilskin fleece lined jobbies that are often seen of poofy town pooches do look the shit.
you can always make your own..or get one made if you have better idea on what will work for you..my dogs get too hot most of the time so its seldom they wear anything at all. I have been known to chuck my fleece Tshirt on cold wet dog over opening weekend so they sleep and stop shivering...

I got one of these. Seems ok. Bella likes it and good fit.

Been using these for quite a few years now, custom fit to dog, heavy duty canvas outer and woolen blanket inner with good grunty velcro strap. Rate them.

The swazi ones are good for in the bush, the don't seem to chafe.

Should give your kuris your top of the line goose down sleeping bag to keep warm. LOL.

Here is the swazi one

just brought one of these https://shop.farmlands.co.nz/outback...59.p?back=true. Got rid off front clip and stitched it up instead. Well made but wouldn't hunt my dog in it.
Excellent for keeping dog warm when sitting around or in the hut or kennel

Swanndri for kennel at night.

If your Weimarana is anything like my Viz you will struggle to keep him warm. I have a stoney creek jacket for normal three season hunts plus a swazi for when it's wet or windy. If it's at all cold he sleeps under my puffer jacket or he is restless all night.

Sitting around glassing in the cold is still an issue even with two jackets on so looking at getting him a dog puffer jacket.

What I didn't say is they snuggle up to me lol

We are actually going to do a trial on some dog coats and bedding this Winter for a NZ company who makes the stuff. We will be putting accelerometers on the dogs and measuring how much more or less sleeping they do over night. Use of coats and good bedding should mean less food bills for owners of working dogs over Winter and also result in more content dogs.

I’ve had a weather beta from pgg for a long time. Has been on a number of dogs at night in the kennel and has lasted really well. Don’t think it would be much use wearing out an about

My vizsla doesn't hunt in a coat (North Island hunting). But at night (at home as well in winter) I use a Swandri (blue checkered Jacket) and was using a puffer vest as well for sleeping. Because pointing dogs have a single coat, they feel the cold. I've done the maths, and turns out I've started packing a second quilt (600g) for night in the tent and no jackets). Provides the warm he needs when he needs it.
