Mim Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I feed raw and things like yoghurt so meal times often result in my long coat boy getting mess all over his fluffy chest and face. I had previously been using a modified singlet but it wasn't covering enough of his chest or his ears at all, so he was still getting dirty. One day I was cleaning out old clothes and had the idea to cut up an old pair of leggings to create a better "fur-protector". Wanted to share this with those of you with fluffy dogs because it is super easy and cheap to make and it works really well. Failed singlet arrangement: It had nothing to hold it down under his chest so would just ride up as he ate. Super great legging arrangement: How to cut the leggings: Very easy to put on. Slide the shorter leg of the leggings over the dog's head. Bring both strips of the other leg under the dog's chest and around the torso, loosely tie together (shown in photo below). Muddy doesn't look happy in these photos as I took them the first time he wore it but he now associates it with food and happily wears it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mim Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Thanks CC. I'm so happy that he is staying so clean now! He and Louis would look pretty great together in their meal time outfits :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainy Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Very similar to a Snood that a friend uses for her poodle and Gordon Setter http://www.wigglewaggledesigns.com.au/#!what-is-a-snood/c12dk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mim Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Yes, I had considered a snood but they don't cover the chest and with a short legged dog with a super fluffy chest it needs to be covered :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
