any one use one of these and is it worth the money?

I have been dragging my feet in buying one of these but we sure could have used one this week.
I am just wondering if it is worth the money or not.

Ive seen those before and I think the concept is great and very practical. How much are they sellign them for? I think I have seen those at petedge, you might see if its cheaper there.

That is really cute. If you decide to get one, let us know how well it works!

I have a washable raincoat I put Ginger in. I like it because it covers most of her belly too, and in the rain that's the part that gets the messiest!!!

do you have a picture of that raincoat? and does it cover the legs too? seems like mine are like sponges when they step on wet pavemnt or the grass. I am going to get one of the umbrellas.. it was cheaper than the 20 .. $16.99 and 3.99 shipping.

To my mind, the umbrellas are cute, but generally useless. They seem awkward, and prevent one from seeing the dog properly, as well as preventing the dog from seeing its owner. Also, as one person noted, it is Yorkies' bellies that need protection in the rain, as much or more than their backs.

I have a rainsuit I made for Kia-four legs and its water-tight closure is along her back. I also have a raincoat, to which I added a tummy-protector. To my mind, these are much more useful than the umbrella.
