good waterproof coat
« on: September 12, 2013, 02:58:36 PM »
 Seems like the damp wet weather is upon us and had a wet dog last few days which will no doubt get worse in the winter  :005:    so I have been looking through old posts to see recommendations for a good waterproof coat. Poppy is very fluffy and when it rains (invariably on the school run  >:(   )takes her ages to dry off. Looked at the ones on zooplus but they haven't got many sizes anymore. Also seen a mention to equafleece. Do dogs wear these to go out in the rain or are they better for drying off after ? Are there any others you can recommend ? So many out there like all things doggy good to get recommendations  :D

Hi, we have equafleece and a hurtta coat,
The hurtta jacket is better in the rain in my opinon, the equafleece in the cold and its good for putting on after being out and got wet.
Would recommend both but purely for rain then the hurtta .

Hurtta pro overall for us




Equafleece are good, but I only ever use them for drying him in (if he's got wet, or been to the beach when it's cold).


We also have the zooplus overall but I much prefer the hurtta. I wouldn't buy the zooplus again but I certainly would buy the hurtta again (nothing wrong with the zooplus ones, just hurtta is better)

And here, but my two have the Hurrta coat rather than the suit like Charlie.

We have the Hurtta coat too. Penny has a blue one which still looks like new despite a fair bit of wear. She also has a couple of equafleeces as well, one with legs for warming up and drying inside and one without legs for very cold weather outside.

Oh dear! Riley does NOT look happy in his equafleece. If looks could kill......... :005: :005: But he does look lovely and cosy and the colour definitely suits him.  :luv: :luv: Diana

We have an equafleece for indoors after the rain but I think I'll invest in a hurtta this year for those really bad days.
