🐶 Barbour Wax Dog Coat
Despite being short haired, Lilly’s coat is quite dense, and once wet takes an age to dry, which inevitably leaves that wonderful ‘wet dog’ aroma lingering around Muddy Towers. To stop her getting wet in the first place, and to keep her warm, and a bit more snuggly now that winter is approaching, we figured she needed a coat, and what does every stylish sighthound need?
A Barbour of course!
Damian headed over to the Barbour website to have a look at their selection of dog coats, and opted for their waxed cotton version with cotton tartan lining and lightweight wadding. A classic country look, and one that Damian wouldn't be embarrassed with her wearing. Unfortunately Damian got the measurements a little off and ordered her a medium instead of a large. He had already taken her out in it before I noticed so we kept it. It does sort of fit, it just misses her bum.
Features include a cord collar, and velcro fastening straps, one at the front for the neck and another underbody strap that has a traditional belt style buckle on one side that you use initially to get the correct size, and the easy velcro. fastening on the other side for quick on and release. There’s a keyhole opening on the top of the shoulders so that you can use a harness.
Being a sighthound, Lilly is very inquisitive and forever rummaging in undergrowth searching for small furry animals, and so far her coat has stood up to these rigours. Not only does it fit well and keeps Lilly dry and warm, but she looks pretty stylish, too.
