It's Christmas part 2 🤣

Just had my Valentines materials delivered and they look even better than the suppliers pictures, so had to re-photograph them.

Remember, you don't have to have a full suit in any of the patterns, you can have the collar and legs in a different material to the main body.

Please send me a direct message to order as stock is limited on these.

💙 Valentines 🩷

Place your orders early for these limited edition patterns. Materials will be available from 24th January, I will have a limited amount of material available, so I will be taking pre-orders.

Choose to have as a 4 legged fleece, 2 legged body warmer, base layer or snood.

Then, decide where you want the pattern. You can have it just on the collar, legs or main body and for the snoods, 1 or both sides.....for complimentary materials take a look under the photo album 'Dog Fleeces'.

A reversible dog snood made in Black & Multi Tartan.

This is made for a friends Rottweiler cross but for a different reason than keeping warm & drying his ears.

Lately, he has been reluctant to walk over a bridge that crosses a busy motorway, which he has been crossing for years. When finishing our morning walk today, his owner just couldn't get him to come to her to cross the bridge to go home, my husband with our dogs encouraged him to come a little bit closer but there wasn't any budging him 🙄

As it was -2 degrees this morning I had my own snood on, I took a chance and placed it on him, although a little big for him, l tucked it in to make it a bit snug and within seconds he walked across the bridge.

Essentially, the snood also works like a happy hoodie that groomers use when needing to calm nervous dogs when faced with noisy equipment like high velocity hair dryers. And this is going to be tested out tonight to see if its just the noise of the traffic that's now bothering him. 🤞

It's really lovely to hear back from customers and see their pooches wearing the fleeces l make. This is Max & Sprocket on their walk this morning..... don't they just look amazing 🥰

Happy New Year all 🎉🐾

Really pleased to be able to start the new year with 2 new products and a return of the ever popular drying robes 😬

● All products, sizing, prices and material choices can be found under the photo albums●

Up 1st my dog drying robes - 3 new colours (Grass, pine & paprika), highly absorbent material but same design. Soft, comfortable and very supple stretch jersey terrycloth. The face is a very fine bouclette loop and the back is a fine jersey. 100% cotton with good stretch and recovery.

••••••••••

Next, dog fleece base layer - Ideal for wearing under a waterproof coat for extra warmth, whilst giving the tummy and chest area protection against the elements. (Can also be worn on its own as the material is extremely water resistant).

Comes with a longer back length, wide leg holes and either a long or short collar depending on your preference. (Some waterproof dog coats don't have a deep enough collar to keep your dog dry, so the longer collar on the base layer is ideal in these circumstances).

••••••••••

Lastly, dog snoods - Ideal for keeping your dog warm and to cover wet heads and ears to get them to dry quicker. Perfect as well for the hound owners with the longer neck.

AntiPil, so no bobbling & wicking to draw away moisture from the skin, double layered and made to measure.
Fully reversible - A huge choice of materials, either choose 1 colour/pattern for both sides or have 2 different materials.
