Chilly Willy Puppy Dog

I've noticed lately that Woody gets very chilly after a wet walk on days like this.

We always dry him off with a towel, but unless he snuggles up on the sofa in the house right away (i.e. we drive back or stop off in the pub - with him) he gets very shivery.

What would you recommend for this? I've heard equa fleece are good, but anything else?

He also gets hot very quickly so it needs to be able too dry him off, be comfortable and not too hot for him.

Thanks

Pidge

Dogs have an oil in their coats that protects them, as long as you towel him down he will be fine. He has been through a winter so strange that this has just started now.

Tell him to "man up"!!

Only kidding mate, monty gets the same thing but he htes being wrapped or covered with anything so all we can do is towel him down.

Those equefleece things look pretty good though.

Monty and Woody need to take a leaf out of M&M's book...

If it is raining, stay on the sofa!

Hehe. I do love those Boxer boys ;o)

I wish he would. We've just got back from walk 2 of 3 and the pair of us are soaked and filthy!! We went through the buttercup fields and his face is stained yellow, so funny, bless him!!
