<div style="direction:ltr">There are a few nice options for under the harness.</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">Ruffwear has the cloud chaser. It’s a sleek coat, which keeps their chest and back dry.</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">Ruffwear has a pro purchase program, which give service animals a 40% discount. It doesn’t give you free shipping, though.
</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">But the coat is well worth it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">Hurtta has several coats.</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">One is a full body rain coat, it’s thin and can be easily worn under the harness.</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">It’s called “slush combat suit”. </div>
<div style="direction:ltr">The dog’s full body, including all legs will be dry and protected.</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">The other slightly sleeker full body suit is the “downpour suit”.</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">It’s also made by Hurtta.</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">The third one for excellent coverage is the “rain blocker dog jacket”. It covers their full body. This one has front leg coverage, but the back legs will be covered by the coat, not legs.</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">All of those are sleek and really well made and they have zippers, so no buckles interfere with a harness. I have all of them.</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">There’s one more, which is called “torrent coat”. A friend of mine has it under the harness and it works. It’s a regular coat. This one is buckled on the back of the dog, with the buckle sitting behind the harness area.</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">My favorite company for Hurtta coats is Katja with eurodogdesigns. You can send her a message and let her know that you have a working guide dog and ask her for the service animal discount.

<div class="PlainText">Hi Dan. Happy guide dog anniversary!<br>
<br>
I just got this amazing rain hat from a place in Seattle called Outdoor Research. It is adjustable and has these flaps that can come down on the sides or be flipped up if you think that looks super cool or find them to be annoying when they're down but they
do really trap a lot more water that way. My experience is that it doesn't cover my ears and obstruct my hearing. Also, should my dog miss a very wet and soggy overhead branch that would normally hit me in the face or head, it will hit the hat instead. You
can easily smush it down and put it in a bag if need be. It's a great discovery and I have often had this same question in the past. Oh and it comes in various colors and sizes.<br>

Subject: [NAGDU] raincoats for our dogs<br>
<br>
Hello to all of our great friends and four-legged partners in crime.<br>
<br>
Dan here from Florida.<br>
<br>
Well it's summer time again, time of heat and humidity and here in Florida, thunder storms.<br>
<br>
Usually my policy is to walk early in the morning or later in the day, and to avoid extreme weather. I hate heat and humidity and it's not good for my dog either.<br>
<br>
We do have thunderstorms here and there have been a few occasions when like it or not I've had to be out and about during these really horrid.
<br>
torrential rains,so since this will probably happen this summer, any thoughts on raincoats or other gear? I'm betting I asked this lasts summer--smile sorry but I never followed through but now I'm thinking about it. What do people use if anything in the
rain when they are out with their pups working.<br>
<br>
<br>
Remember my default plan is not to be out at those times but it'll probably happen--smile<br>
<br>
<br>
Oh and lest I forget, today, June 20th is my sixth anniversary with the <br>
Parker Pup.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Cordially,<br>
<br>
Dan the man with Parker the hound<br>
<br>
<br>
