| Photo Gallery: Blue Willow Dog Coats
and Pita Beds |
 |
I took these photos of Melanie,
our two year-old Italian Greyhound, at a dog park in Dallas Texas
a few weeks ago. It was chilly, and her BW raincoat kept her warm!
-- David, Dallas, Texas
Young dogs do love to jump, don't they? Melanie shows how easy it
is for dogs to move around and be active in their Blue Willow coats.
Our Rain
Chaser raincoat with PolarTec
fleece allow for warmth without too much bulk. |

Here are a couple of pictures of
Andy and Murphy enjoying the snow in their coats. Thanks for the
great work.
--H.N., Shawnee, Kansas
Although many of our doggie clients
are sighthounds (whippets, greyhounds, and italian greyhounds), Blue
WIllow can provide much-needed winter warmth for small dogs, too!

and Murphy are wearing their waterproof,
washable Rain Chaser Raincoats. |

hooray - my whippets pixie and
bug love it!
There's nothing like a little snooze in a Blue
Willow Pita Bed to take the chill off of a winter evening. Or afternoon, or morning,
for that matter! |

The coat is awesome, thank you!

"It was about 5 degrees F here in Boston, MA this weekend and
Taj absolutely loves his [Snow
Angel] coat! Not only does it look
luxurious and well-made, but it is very practical too: durable
and extremely warm! Taj has done all sorts of leaps and bounds
in his coat, and it has stayed on him perfectly. The fleece snood
really has helped protect his ears and the belly band keeps him
nice and toasty. Your coat is by far more well-made than those
we've seen in pet stores..."

Cinder looks joyous in her Pita
Bed today!
We received the Pita

All we can say is wow! It took Cinder a little while to get used to
it---------about 2 min. She got in and that was the last we saw her
for about 2 hours! |

Without a doubt these are the best dog coats available!" |

Abbie is enjoying her barn red Snow
Angel Winter Dog Coat with black 200 wt fleece interior.
"We received the jacket and Abbie loves it. She was able to
play outside for the first time this winter (her earlier jacket
made it difficult for her to
really run) and she had a blast (as you can see from her big smile).
It
fits perfectly and seems very sturdy.
"We will definitely recommend you to all of our friends and
family with pets."
-Silver Spring, Maryland |

Whippet Dante is getting a LOT of
extra protection from the cold in his beautiful Snow Angel with blue
bonnet high-loft thermal polartec fleece on the inside and powder
blue Gore-tex on the outside. These extra warm coats are designed
for dogs who really need to be well-protected. The vulnerable
neck and chest area are covered to prevent loss of body warmth. An
absolutely luscious coat!

Polar tec collar with a decorative multicolor braid trim. (see trims). |

| Three of the Rain
Chaser Waterproof Dog Raincoats, pictured here with
a turnback collar and bands around the waist. There is no inner batting
but there is an inner layer of Polar Tec fleece. |
This coat is one of the few non waterproof,
non washable coats available on special order (contact
me). It is made of a brocade with quilt-like stitching in a rich overall
floral pattern. The lining is a floral polar fleece.
This coat belongs to Robn Vogt's puppy from Alice Sowder. Very chic! |
|
 |
 |
|
| This is a washable but non-waterproof
fake fur-the infamous giraffe pattern! Fred and Gina Leuhr's dog Charlotte
had several fittings to make it the absolutely perfect fit...after
Charlotte told Fred through a communicator that she needed everyone
to look at her - more Bling please! Fred agreed and went
giraffe. It's a very handsome fur for both male and female dogs. Paula
Knight's Spice also has one. |
This is the fake fur dog coat.
notice in this view how the tummy warmer widens near the rear providing
a snug wraparound quality which keeps the wind out of the chest and
underbelly where the sighthounds tend to have very little fur....the
two straps velcro together on top of the back makiing putting the coats
on and off extremely easy with little bending and no fumbling under
the tummy. |

| Above is a coated ripstop
Snow Angel coat lined with Shearling Polar fleece in a leopard pattern.
It is waterproof, windproof and breathable. While dogs don't sweat
like people do, they do overheat and materials that are breathable
make that less likely to happen. |

|
| Whippets Lucy and Gogo try out two
new Snow
Angel Winter coats with extra long collars. The temperature is
about 14 degrees with strong winds-a nippy Wisconsin morning, grey
and sunless. |
Whippet Lucy at play. With a warm
winter coat the whippets and greyhounds will spend time out in
the yard even if the temperature is falling. This coat is on its
way to 'CC', Ch.Yorktown's Extra Vitamin C who is a bit longer than
Lucy but otherwise of similar proportions...the coat will get a CC
monogram and be on its way soon. |
