    Doggie Raincoat

    Is it worth investing in a doggie raincoat? How do you walk your dogs in this weather?

    You do know that dogs are OUTDOOR animals, right? That they give outside in nature, in rain, snow, wind, sun etc etc etc....

    I think I have a Princess. She doesn't like the rain and won't even cross a puddle. And if her favorite green area is wet/muddy she won't even enter it and will prefer to hold it

    Then it's not a dog. It's a cat in disguise.

    My dogs would hate a raincoat, the after-rainy-walk towel-downs are the highlight of their day

    Many years ago, my parents had an afghan hound with a red raincoat. During a typhoon I was tasked with suiting him up and taking him for a pee, which included going to his favourite spot, down the driveway and across the road (living in Ting Kau then). He refused to head home afterwards so I ended up picking him up and carrying him. As I crossed, an ambulance passed and saw me with what looked like a person in my arms. They came to a sudden stop and started towards me with the gurney! The look on their faces when they saw his face, was priceless!

    That was the last raincoat ever purchased in my family.
