[NAGDU] Cold Krokus

[Julie J.]

You might try Etsy.  There are some people there who will do custom coats. 
So you pick the colors, fabrics and fill, give them the measurements and get 
a warm coat that hopefully fits.  I corresponded with two different people 
last year when I was shopping for a over the harness coat for Jetta.  I 
didn't end up purchasing anything because the over the harness part turned 
out to be more complicated.

So she's wearing Monty's coat and I just fold it so it fits her reasonably 
okay.  Unfortunately the lady who made that coat doesn't do them any more. 
Be prepared to spend some money though.  The Etsy coats that I was 
considering were around $80 to $100.

Please let us know what you find and how you like it.  I'd still like to get 
Jetta something that's a bit heavier and fits her unique shape a bit better.

It dropped down to around 20 degrees the last couple days, and Krokus was
shivering while we waited for the bus.  His sweater didn't really seem to
help.

I'm thinking of getting him more of a windbreaker jacket, with a fleece
lining, but I'm not sure if it's his body that's cold, or if the cold is
coming up from his paws.  I'm also having some trouble finding a jacket big
enough for a 60-pound dog, but I find a few on Amazon.

Has anyone found a coat online they think is good?  If so, what's the brand
name and size?  Has it worked, or does it have to be in combination with
boots?

Tracy
