Dog Raincoats

Until today, we haven't had to take Toto out into the rain to potty. We quickly realized we had a puppy with a severe aversion to rain. Try as I might, our little guy absolutely refuses to step past the front porch out onto the lawn, so naturally I began looking into doggy raincoats and came up with a short list of possibilities. The only thing I'm worried about is "weather" or not he will outgrow what we buy him because we have no idea what his adult size is going to be.

1. This doggy jacket might look completely ridiculous, but the more I considered it the more I realized what a great design it is. The raincoat doesn't get in the way of the dog's legs so their mobility isn't hindered, the hood goes over the ears so that they don't lay uncomfortably flat against the dog's head, and it looks pretty easy to put on. Plus it comes in a variety of pretty colors, but the teal one was by far my favorite. A bit pricy, but definitely worth it for the quality. - $39.95 to $49.95

2. This cute little jacket is completely customizable so that it is able to best suit your dog's specific shape and size. While it doesn't protect the head, it covers most of the dog's body and it's lined with linen for added comfort. It also comes with reflectors for people who might walk their dog at night which is pretty neat. All in all, cool raincoat design. - $39.00 to $90.00 (for the really large dogs)

3. This cute raincoat not only has an adorable corduroy collar, but it's completely functional and it includes lots of fun colors. The outer shell is nylon and it has a nice, comfy, cotton lining. This coat in particular fits a variety of small dog breeds. It's rather expensive, but it comes from a reputable seller who has been making these coats for over 20 years! - $65.00

That concludes my short list of doggy raincoat possibilities. Hopefully I'll be getting my ombrophobic puppy one of these classy styles soon! But first things first- his Totoro costume!
