Dog coats / vests

I've noticed over the years the bright white bits of a spaniel seem to be quite a turn off for the pigeons and really feel sorry for mine when she's shivering away in the hide, I tried putting her in the big ex-army rucksack that I use to carry most of my gear but she was having none of that! :lol: Would've kept her warm and hidden though

 

So, I've tried a couple of dog coats but never had much success and thought I'd try one of the neoprene vests next, jack pyke make one and there's a few others about but they're all quite pricey. Has anyone tried one? Are they any good? Any other suggestions?

My lab wears a neoprene vest while out wildfowling but only when the weather turns really cold.

She is supposed to be yellow but she is more white, stands out like a saw thumb but I wouldn't put it on her in mild or warm weather.

I wouldn't put it on her while beating/rough shooting, would hate to see her get snagged on something and cause injury.

They can be picked up for around £40 which in my eyes is a very very small price to pay to keep my best friend comfortable!

i bought an avery neoprene dog vest the boaters style for my springer . this has slots in the back so you can lift the dog in to a boat ect . 5mm neoprene . i had a jack pike version but it got a bit tight, the beauty of the avery style is you can trim around the openings for a perfect fit . I bought it from ebay in the us as i wanted the boaters version. IT worked out at about £50 delivered.

I've recently bough one, had a nightmare trying to get one to fit!!! I went for the Dokken, and my mother has had to cut, re-stitch it to fit him!

 

He hasn't had to wear it yet as it's been quite mild, but hopefully it'll get a lot colder, he will be wearing it from now.
