Dry Dog Coat or Shine On Coat - which is best?

[bracken]

Lace was 28" and is just right   I haven't used the head bit though just yet as you can see it all ruffled around her neck

Well if I can't find the fabric tape measure, will have to stop off at Tesco on the way home from work as want to get it ordered tomorrow.

Jo does it still have elastic round the head peace? and did you request that colour or is that just what came. I only ask as Tallys old one is just plain black and I quite like the colour.   I must order some too Jeanette as both the boys are sharing Tallys old one at the mo.

What lovely pic's Jo....Lace looks gorgeous.  

Please excuse my ignorance but i am now curious about this thread too    Do you use the Dry Coats for just after bathing & is there a benefit using them?  Sorry Jeanette i don't mean to hijack your thread, its just i have never heard of these before.  

Don't apologise - I'm trying to get organised before Quinn's first show.  

Dry dog coats are for when they are wet and drying them http://www.drydogcoats.co.uk/index.php/drying-coats.html

and Shine On Coats are for when they are dry for flattening the coat before a show http://shineoncoat.co.uk/

Jo, Lace looks gorgeous in hers      I'm sure its the Shine On Coats that I've seen people use at shows.    

I think I'll buy the Dry Dog Coat first as will help after bathing but might get the Shine on Coat - the before and after pics on the website are tempting me  

Thanks Jo & Jeanette....it sounds a really useful coat to have    I think i will order a Dry Coat now.

Oh Jeanette. I must have missed that. Where's that hun?

I have both Jeanette 

Really Sarah. Do they do different things then? I'm a bit confused now as I would have thought they were pretty much the same thing. I might have to get one now then. What is it that Shine coats do that Dry coats don't then?

[dottysmum]

I have both and find that you get a much better finish with the Shine On. I sometimes use the dry coat whilst i'm drying the feathering then put on the Shine On coat for a 1/2 hour when they are dry. I always use the Shine On on the journey to shows too, I think it brings the coat up a treat, wouldn't be without it really.

No request for colour it just came purple  It does have elastic but its not tight

Oh dear may have to buy Shine coats too now.

Just reading this with interest because I bought a Drydog coat in April and it has been a godsend. I wanted a Shine On but thought they were a bit expensive for what you get... Maybe I'm wrong.

I put Murphy's on over a towel or two straight after a bath, then about half an hour or so later I take it off and blow dry him. Sarah are you saying that you blow dry your boys with the coat on??

Yep I do rightly or wrongly, but that was what I was told to do and works well. I let them shake it off and towel dry, blast whatever first and then brush it down. Spray a little anti static spray on where the coat is going and stick it on. Then blow dry feathering as normal. Does seem to work well this way, but I usually leave it on till bed time and then take it off and put it back on for the journey to the show and sometimes for a bit at the show if needed. Now I'm thinking the only one I'll take to the show is the shine coat if I get one and use the dry coat simply for that, drying.

That's brilliant Sarah, thank you. I'll try it for Boston on Friday. If I doesn't work and he looks a mess I'll tell the judge it's your fault!
