Who wants that "Wet Dog Smell"? Dog raincoats keep the pups dry!

You know that "Wet Dog Smell"?  When it rains, that can be what you get.  Unless you take steps to keep those pups dry.

This is a new product I've started to make.  It is single layer, coated fabric, either polyester or cotton. This makes my raincoats very light weight for warmer weather.  

They can be designed in a number of ways depending on your needs.  That's the beauty of custom!

This first picture shows a coat that is drapey and covers a lot of the furnishings of a long-coated dog. With hood and tummy panel, you dog will stay pretty darn dry.

This picture shows the underside.  Also hooded.  The coat pulls over the head, with a tummy panel that wraps around the "waist" and closes, either with velcro or a cargo buckle.

I can install a covered harness port for any coat or a D ring on the small coats.  Hoods or flip up collars, tummy panel or a strap, draping, darts, whatever! Let me know what you need and I can usually come up with something to meet that need.

The fabrics I have listed on my website, www.madebyde.com, or my Etsy store, Madebyde. Spring is the rainy time of year, so you might want to be ready!

Stuff happens! That's when dog diapers can help!

So, I know that diapers are a "sensitive subject".  Even doggie diapers are a bit taboo.  However, when you've got to deal with "it", they can make life easier if they are the right ones. 

I make my dog diapers, or bitch britches, of cotton flannel fabric so that they are soft and non-abrasive. And if you look at the pictures, you'll see that they are cut so that they don't rub in the groin area and your dogs can move freely when wearing them.  

I don't use waterproofing or elastic to keep down the irritation.  Simply place a pantiliner or incontinence pad with sticky tape in to catch the leaks. Just take out the pad when soaked and replace; cuts down on laundry.

This first style is one that I created.  It wraps around the groin, then has a strap on each side of the tail that comes up and attaches to the waistband.  No stuffing tails through holes!  And they are super adjustable so they are great for growing girls.

I also make the more traditional style with the tail hole.  Still made of cotton flannel for softness and comfort. These can also be made without a tail hole for breeds that don't need it.

And I can add suspenders to any of my britches so that they will stay on more securely.

And sometimes the boys need help too!  I make these as well; either tapered to be wider underneath where they cover the "equipment" or straight.

And, as with all my products, I make each one myself.  Custom orders are encouraged so your pup can have the perfect fit.

Fleece dog jackets! Because the seasons are changing!

Spring (and fall) can be challenging for keeping your pups comfortable.  The temperatures are generally warming up, but mornings and evenings are still pretty cool.  And, in many areas, the occasional snowstorm is not out of the question.

That is why fleece jammies and jackets are so handy.  This girl is wearing some of the lighter weight fleece jammies that I make.  Fleece provides some warmth without overdoing it, like a sweatshirt for us.  Either the lightweight fleece or the warmer windpro fleece is easy to layer under coats for those blustery days that continue to occur, so they serve double duty.

This sweet bulldog is wearing the windpro fleece pajamas, made of a nice dense fabric with water and wind blocking properties. 

And I have windpro fleece jackets as well.  They have a turtleneck and tummy coverage but your dog does NOT have to put legs through holes.  Also great for layering for changing weather.

As with all of my stuff, I make each one just for  your dog, using your measurements and giving you choices of colors and options.  Check out my website to see more!
