Does your EM wear a jacket or coat when its cold? If so, what kind is it?

[WaltzingMinerva]

We keep our house pretty cool in the winter and I want my EMs to be comfortable outside when winter hits and we walk etc. I am looking for easy-on and easy-off coats/jackets for them. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Yes we have a fido fleece azzy wears outside when it's cold. I love it.

No. I admit I've never tried one. Kryten loves the cold and I don't think he'd be happy if I tried to make him wear a jacket.

We have a rain coat and a 'cape' style jacket, but so far, haven't had to put them on.
Just hit freezing for the first time last night. Then the sun came out - it may only be 35F, but it's sunny... so, of course Denna's out napping in the yard.

No Jackets here for dogs or people lol
If it gets below 40 at night in mid winter were freezing!!!

these are the coats we use. I've had them for 5 years and no signs of wear! We've used them in MN, Korea (colder than you think!) and now up here in Western Washington.

We also use the Chilly Dog brand. The first time we put it on Caesar, he froze in place and wouldn't move - totally freaked out. He let me put it on, but then was paralyzed by fear of the unknown. So I used the 'move his mind forward' method and fed him treats - first right in front of him, then each treat I would move just a little bit away and eventually got him to walk forward while he was wearing the jacket. When I took it off, I let him smell it and gave him lots of verbal praise with a couple more treats!

It took a little bit to get used to, but then I think he was reluctantly grateful he had it. We're in the Canadian Prairies so for six months it can be anywhere from 0 to -60C (32 to -76F) so a winter jacket is not an option where we live.
