Does anyone have any recommendations for a waterproof dog onesie? I’m fed up of having to bath our boy after every wet walk as his tummy is so filthy! He’s a long haired chihuahua, quite long backed and doesn’t generally like wearing coats but will tolerate a stretchy jumper, so something with a bit of stretch would be good. Any ideas?

We've got a 'hotter dog' fleece jumper and it's the best thing ever. Much better than the hundreds of coats I've bought. I think it's the same brand as equafleece.

Aw your dog is so cute. I’ll have a look at that brand, thank you. I need as much fur covered as possible, he is a dirt magnet.

Equafleece. They're not cheap but keep dogs warm and dry and last for ever

You can get equafleece/hotter dog jumpers with back legs too. I just wipe my dogs back legs and front paws with a wet facecloth now whereas before it was a massive job every time.

My dog has equafleece all in ones for the winter , it helps massively and they wash and dry really well ( non bio only )

I have just tried to order one of these and it says my measurements are strange so I have had to message the company 😂

OrchidInTheSun · 02/10/2019 11:05

You're supposed to measure your dog Pookie WinkGrin

PookieDo · 02/10/2019 11:07

I did
But it didn’t like the measurements I provided

Here are my 2 wearing their winter jumpers!

They just email you with their recommended size. I did it twice. Dog is small but stocky. I’m excited for it to arrive now!

PookieDo · 02/10/2019 11:30

Ah cute!

@Pookiedo
My dog also has funny measurements so didn't fit their automatic sizing guide. If you don't hear, call Equafleece - they are really helpful. They will send you the one most likely to fit and if it doesn't they'll take it back and try again. My dog is a staffie cross and her chest measurements etc go with a dog with a longer back than her so it took some figuring out that her coats needed to be 2 inches shorter in (back)length than the average staffie.

I was teasing Smile

Honestly they're brilliant. And stretchy so they're forgiving and not difficult to get over your dogs head. They're the only coat mine will wear happily - he sort of forgets he's wearing it

@MeanLaQueefer my dog will move into the equafleece fleece in a while, but it's too hot for him at the moment, he is currently sporting their summer suit which kept him clean last weekend

Thanks everyone, loving all the gorgeous dog pics. I will be ordering tomorrow. If only I could get him to wear some of those little dog boots too, we could cut down on the baths!
I love that summer suit @Kayjay2018, he doesn’t actually seem to feel the cold too much so I think I’ll get one of those too.

Got mine today! I got a full suit
I’m worried about him getting too hot in it though? Is this an issue?

PookieDo · 03/10/2019 19:45

Here he is

@PookieDo our Doberman will go in hers when temps are about 7 degrees Celsius, our longer haired rescue, will be a bit further into the colder weather than now. We just know the Doberman starts shaking with cold at that temp, so depends if your little one feels the cold.

Kayjay2018 · 03/10/2019 20:47

@PookieDo ps. He looks adorable in it!

PookieDo · 03/10/2019 21:24

His harness won’t do up over it!

Kayjay2018 · 03/10/2019 21:39

@PookieDo do the straps not loosen a bit? Here's the boy dog with his harness over the top, I do have to tweak the harness according to what he has underneath
