[NAGDU] Where to purchase Raincoats and booties was RE: Guide dog accessories

[Tracy Carcione]

Some schools issue booties as part of a dog's gear.  Seeing Eye does, for
instance.  But I like the Pawz boots, large size I think, which I bought on
Amazon.  Or there's Musher's Secret, which is a wax coating in lieu of
booties.

I got my raincoat from GDB, Guide Dogs, long, long ago.  Sorry to say I
don't know where to get such a good one anywhere else.  Mine is a thick
material, with a Velcro fastening at the neck, and a piece that goes between
the front lets with a belt around the belly for the second fastening.

My most useful accessory is a raincoat.  It at least keeps most of his body
dry, leaving less for me to do.  And something to help keep his paws
salt-free in the winter.
Everything else is optional. He could even be happy with only a few toys,
instead of the big pile we have.  And the school-issued mutt mat, instead of
his very cushy bed.  We humans enjoy spoiling our dogs, butthey're not
really picky.

Hi everyone,

Beyond the normal food, water, pick-up bags, leash/harness, ETC needed for
every dog guide, what other accessories have you found to be helpful and
why? Moreover, what retailers would you recommend for products not provided
by the school?

Thanks in advance for your time and assistance, and have a wonderful week!

 

Best wishes, Miranda
