| Winter coats? Ok...so I know that this is a little off-season. But I'm in the market for a new winter coat for Sydney. I'm looking now thinking I can get it on sale. I've seen a milliion cute ones online. But what I can't tell is how warm they are. Does anybody have any recomendations of what they've gotten that is cute and very warm? I like the look of this one from Little Mimi...but once again I can't tell how warm it is. |

| Winter snow suit I bought Riley a winter snow suit last fall from K9 Topcoat.com. They are expensive, but they are very warm and water proof. The suits are lined with artic fleese. Check them out. We live in Michigan and it gets very cold and snowy. Hope you like them. Nancy (chloegyrl) |

| I was just about to tell you that I have those available! lol Then I read the end of your post I have one of those for Mimi and they are so warm and cuddly. My question is what kind of cold weather are we talking about? I think this is fine for 40 degrees. But if you're talking about 15 degree weather I would put a long sleeve shirt under it. I have it hanging in my closet. I cant wait for winter just to dress them up in their coats! lol If you see it cheaper anywhere else,just let me know and I'll match it! Genie www.littlemimi.org |

| Just a thought for you, If you are keeping your dog in long hair your best bet is to buy a coat that is satin lined. It doesnt matt the hair. Have fun shopping |

| Thanks ladies, You all gave me a lot of options. I'm going to go to those websites and check them out. As far as how cold of weather...I live in the snow belt...so last winter we had it as low as 15 below 0. However, I definately won't take her out for a walk if it is that cold. I'd say I won't walk her if it is any lower than the 20's...and that all depends on how she reacts to it as well. I decided that we are going to have to keep up on our daily walks b/c she gained weight during her week of inactivity after I got her spayed. I don't want her to get chubby...but I hate to deny her food when she is hungry. So as long as we can keep exercising...she should be fine. I'll look into the satin-lined kind. I don't keep her fur as long and Cheri and Chanel's...but not a buzz cut either. She gets mats just from her tee-shirts...so I can see how a coat will really do it. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | To help with matts - have you tried the Ice on Ice ? it REALLY helped my girls with tangles from clothes - I spray it under their arms just like deoderant |

| Hi Sydneys mom, That is my site and the red coats were christmas coats, you don't want those to keep your baby warm, it is velvet.They are only available at christmas Villette lives in a warm climate. I do make the same coat in a red cashmere, i just wanted to let you know the gray is a wool as well. Not a sales pitch, due to the fabrics i use most of my coats are pretty pricey. |

| After seeing Villettes girls in coats (which put a smile on my face), I think everyone should post coat pics. They are so adorable!!!!!!!
