Keeping lurcher pup warm

Monkeypup is 14 weeks and is currently a streak of nothing with seriously not an ounce of fat on him (We're seeing the vet regularly to get his sensitive tummy under control and get his weight up).

The onset of rain and cold weather isn't agreeing with him and it's hard to get him to go out long enough to go the toilet last thing at night. He's crated at night with a lovely squishy bed and I put blankets over the crate to keep it snug. What's going to be the best way to keep him warm outside and in his bed as the temperature drops.

He needs a luffly fleece coat from Milgi - my lurcher has a few (and raincoats and a quilted coat) and they are so snuggly.

Oh they look nice. How does one go about sizing their dog?

You measure from where their neck joins their body (about where a collar will sit) to the base of their tail - give them a ring if you have any doubts as the owner is lovely

Ah great thank you

You could give it to me and I'll cuddle her all day so she's warm

I've bought my Greyhound fleece jumpers from "Ginger ted", they keep her lovely and cosy on the colder nights.

Gorgeous puppy!

Sorry, can't help with the jumper advice but just wanted to say your pup is gorgeous OP. Do you know what cross he is? I've got a nearly seven month old whippet boy so I'm a big fan of a nice pointy dog Smile

We're not sure bluetongue as he was from a local rescue so limited background. He's definitely got a lot of terrier in him though!
