best dog jacket

[saltysack]

I hike with my jack Russell. He gets cold while sitting a camp so looking to get him a jacket. Lots of options ruffwear etc. I would love advice from someone who has tried a few.

Go to a thrift store and get him a fleece pull over, or full zip. I shortened the sleeves to knee length for the two dobermans I hike with. A JR is a little smaller so you may need to look in the children section.

Haa I'd probably have to get a newborn pull over he's only 17 lbs and legs are less than 12".

For our little dogs, we buy a fleece jacket with elastic cuffs at Salvation Army. Cut the sleeves off, put two holes in each sleeve for the front legs. Two jackets for four bucks.

That's a great idea Thirsty...:)

We bought our dogs their fleece coats at flyball tournaments. They sell all kinds of dog clothes etc... a lot of them are homemade- done really well.
BTW... saltysack, you were asking about finding/making a down sleeping bag for your Jack Russell? My brother has a down comforter he doesn't need anymore. I spoke up for it... the only bad thing about it is-it's white. I'm sure it washes well. But you would have to wash it more often being white. :(
