Paul@Ribchester Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Afternoon all, As stated in the title I am looking for somewhere close to Preston where I can buy a neoprene vest for my Labrador. While out picking ducks up the other week I noticed that during quiet spells she was shivering. She is working hard at the moment and not carrying any excess fat so I want to do my best for her and keep her warm. I have seen lots on evilbay etc but wanted one for this coming Saturday. Any help appreciated. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty7247 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Try Malmo Guns, or Mcavoys, The former is Lancaster, the Latter is around Wigan? Well worth a try. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul@Ribchester Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Thanks Matt, Malmos have some in that they would describe as "fleecy" not neoprene, Maccavoys can order one for me but it could take up to five days and Bond and Bywater in Preston used to stock them but don't any more........

Paul@Ribchester Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Morning Matt, the one I'm after is out of stock unfortunately and there is no way it would be delivered by tomorrow. Cracking site though and unbeatable prices, I will be using it in future. Just found this place entwistleguns.com/ which is 15 minutes away from me and they have them in stock. About a tenner more than where you recommended.....! At least my dog will be warm picking up ducks tomorrow........ Thanks for your help, Paul.

Give a thought to the fleece products by Equafleece.co.uk in devon - obviously no good for a dog to wear whilst going in the water but great for wicking the moisture from their fur afterward !

sky gipsy Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Hi I must second Gundoggear. I recieved an Avery dog parka from them yesterday & found the service & prices to be first class. I would recommend their site to everone with a working dog. There will be something on there that you need, so treat your dog this Christmas!!

MiLisCer Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Afternoon all, As stated in the title I am looking for somewhere close to Preston where I can buy a neoprene vest for my Labrador. While out picking ducks up the other week I noticed that during quiet spells she was shivering. I should have added they shiver to keep warm - not because they are cold - a lab with a good double coat will not feel the cold even on the coldest morning flight on the 'shore - their coat will keep them warm and dry. A neoprene jacket just keeps the owner happy not the dog - plus you run the risk of something catching in it and trapping the dog out in the water. An Equifleece jumper to put on them for the drive home, will have them warm and dry before you get home - well worth the money, look after their joints for the long term.

Mike I think once the body drops to a certain temperature and shivering kicks in, you can say with some certainty that the body is cold.IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siberian Tiger Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Another advocate of equafleece here. My 3 all have one, they are fantastic . For those watching the pennies, they do a slightly cheaper version called Hotterdog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
