Do you have a rain coat for you dog?

[zarburg]

No but i should. Never had one that liked going out in the rain.

I don't think a raincoat would do much to change the attitude of a dog that doesn't like going out in the rain. He still won't like going out in the rain.

I like the idea of one. We do a lot of camping and sometimes we just have to do things in the rain. I don't always have a large quantity of dry towels on hand to dry her off.

But, I just can't do it.

I can understand that. I think if I bought a coat for Jerzey John would kill me. However, I HATE DOG SMELL so much it seems like it would be worthwhile to help prevent as least some of the rain from getting on her... esp. with spring coming.

I put a "bath robe" on Bella when she was about a year old to see how she would fare, and the look on her face screamed "Mom if you don't get this thing off of me, I will rip it to shreds". For that reason, and the fact that dispite being on the small side for a GSD the largest size still hardly fit her, I have yet to try any other articles of clothing. It is pretty funny to see such large dogs wearing anything other than a seeing-eye-dog/dog-at-work type vest...and even those crack me up sometimes.

However, I do not get the wet dog smell, which drives me crazy as well. Mostly because I live in California and it rarely rains, but when it does rain Bella looks at me like I'm crazy if I try to take her outside. It is the only time when she doesn't want to take a walk or lay around outside--she goes outside, and promptly goes potty and insists on coming back inside.
