| Warm coat that fits???!! Hello! I ordered this coat from smartpak SmartBlue and SmartPink Thinsulate Dog Coat - Dog Apparel from SmartPak Canine It it so pretty and would be perfect but they dont fit right. I took a chance and ordered a small (for 13") for my little guy (4lbs. 10in) and he slipped right out of it! I also ordered a Medium (for 15") for Teddy (9lbs, 14").The small fit Teddy but his legs are too short and he kept tripping!! Does anyone know of a winter coat that would be very warm (pref water res.) and also easy on/off??!!

| I was just looking around the web and saw the fleece vests all over the place. They look very warm and have velcro right up the back so it's easy on and easy off. No particular site I just typed in dogs fleece vests and several appeared. I would buy by weight instead of inches if the inche measurement dosen't work for you. That's all I can use for Buddy and have been lucky with it, so far. |

YT 500 Club Member | I've had the same problem with my two, if the lengths right its either too small or too big around the chest and visa-versa. Finally found a seller on e-bay, got Alfie a medium and its perfect, but Rosies small is still a little too short. Just have to wait until she fully matures before I invest in another. Hope this one lasts her through this winter as she's an akward size, 9in long and 12in chest. Most say they fit upto 9 in but are only 7in. |

| I got a sweatshirt, sweater and vest from Wal-Mart a couple days ago. I took Couver in and tried them on before I bought them though, because I always misjudge his size and buy too big or too small. You also have to make sure they have a hole cut for the harness to go through during walks. This is something I did not look for when first buying clothes for Couver and they cannot be worn on walks

| Fiona Marie looks darling in her outerwear. I have a problem with Doggie Vogue sizes. I ordered a pink hoodie in x-small that the head opening was too tight so I re-ordered a small that is too big and she swims in it. I'm still in the process of trying to shrink it.

| Thank you guys so much! Yes Walmart has some great stuff!!! I found the perfect coat at oldnavy!! It is a puffy coat with a hood, how cute! Hopefully they will fit. I like that they had the length and weight for sizes, I think that helps a lot! Also, I HAVE seen the Snuggies for dogs and are they cute! My little pippo can be such a grump and can just picture him being all grumpy curled up in a snuggie!!! hahahahahaha
