Default Dog Rain Coat

Looking for a rain coat for the girl. No lining - she doesn't need it for warmth. Wondering if there is some kind of breathable rain coat that is water proof?

Why breathable? Dogs don't perspire.

Weatherbeeta and Pessoa have them. They are made out of the same thing the horse blankets are made of, and horses do sweat.

Default Sweat

Just shows you what I know I thought all animals sweat to some degree or other. Where does that time for a bath dogy smell come from then?
Anyway I want a breathable coat (goretex) to keep her dry and comfortable - nothing to do with whether she sweats or not. And yes we do dry her off as she usually ends up in the water on our walks, rain or shine

I don't think they make goretex animal rugs. But my horse wears the weatherbeeta 1200 denier and he is never wet. btw...my dog never minds getting wet.

Ares is the kind of dog that loves water but hates the rain, which is a problem during the FL summers when it rains every afternoon. He refused to go out and potty if it was raining anything harder than a drizzle so I bought him a a doggie poncho at Pet Supermarket for about $7. Its made of the same material as the human kind and is lightweight and easy to clean

I am very interested in this company's product line. I think I am going to get the lycra bodysuit for Rosa.
