In part, what makes our dog coats so popular is that they really fit dogs well. As small, specialist manufacturers we appreciate that generic styles of dog coats will fit some dogs fine. However, we prefer to fit specific breeds with specifically cut coats. Hence, our whippet coats are cut to fit whippets, our greyhound coats to fit greyhounds and, at the other end of the scale, our dachshund coats are cut specifically to fit dachshunds. Some breeds of sporting dogs have a similar body shape, hence our Pointer coat is also a great fit on Vizslas, Weimaraners and other slim, athletic working dogs. Transfer the harness loop marking to your dog coat using the measurement you took, and then using the buttonhole setting on your sewing machine, create a buttonhole large enough to fit your leash through.

First, you need some measurements. Get out your measuring tape, and measure the spots on your dog to fill in the printable. I recommend being generous with your measuring—don’t make the measuring tape too tight. I sewed with a 3/8″ seam allowance here and didn’t add it to my pattern because I knew I measured loosely. Dogs fluctuate in weight just like humans do, so it’s nice to have a little bit of space to be able to adjust. Write all those measurements down in the spaces provided. Using the pattern piece, place the top of the pattern on the fold of the outside fabric, pin down, and then cut. Repeat with the lining fabric. From fluffy dog blankets to specialist thermal and insect shield blankets, our selection contains a variety of designs and sizes to suit every dog. This heated blanket also has a temperature sensor to help keep your dog safe. Just remember to always monitor your dogs while they use an eletrically heated blanket as an added safety precaution.

If your dog is a senior with aches and pains or just needs a little extra warmth, the Toozey heated blanket has six temperature settings ranging from 86-131 degrees. It also has a timer that can be set from 4 to 24 hours, is insulated to prevent burns, and has a protected cord to prevent chewing—although dogs prone to destruction would be best suited for a different option, like the Furhaven self-warming bed above. It’s going to be a happy Christmas for this puppy. Happy holidays! Want more DIY gifts like this one? We manufacture most of our products here in Northern England and are very proud of it. Our horse blankets, dog coats, clothes, bags and accessories are all made by hand from a mixture of English blanket wool, wool Tweed, Yorkshire moleskin (a soft, warm cotton cloth- not real moles), traditional wax cotton & Scottish stag's antler gathered by shepherds and gillies. Here at Lords & Labradors, our collection of luxury dog blankets has everything you need when it comes to finding your pup’s new favourite item. For instance, some pet parents want a heavier dog blanket that provides warmth on chilly days, while others are looking for something to cover their favorite couch, protect their vehicle seats, or help make a crate cozier.

Welcome to Friday Fox, a small family business which makes beautiful English horse blankets and fabulous dog coats from its base high on the Lancashire moors. We take great pride in all our products and our customer service, both of which embody traditional, English quality. Ivy is our first ever short-haired dog, and she does not tolerate the cold Midwestern winters well. The first time I saw her shivering by our patio door, I knew it was time to make her a coat.Washability is another consideration, especially if your dog is the type that likes to get wet and muddy (is there any other kind?!) Look for material – like a wool or polyester mix – that you can throw in the machine at the end of a muddy walk. Dogs are all shapes and sizes, so we’re going to custom-make a pattern—it sounds complicated, but I promise it’s a breeze! It’s the best way to make sure the coat fits your dog beautifully. And I made a printable for you to make the process even simpler.

If you’re in the market for the perfect dog blanket, you probably already know that there are a lot of options out there—ranging in material, size, and design. And different types of dog blankets serve different purposes. Are they wet for hours after the walk if it is raining? When you come in and hang up your soggy wet coat, unfortunately your best friend doesn’t have the same luxury. Aside from looking and feeling great, many of our dog blankets have practical purposes. For example, the Scruffs Thermal Pet Blanket contains foam and foil layers that reflect your dog’s body heat at them – ideal for staying warm during cold nights. Get high-quality dog blankets from Lords & LabradorsAt Lords & Labradors, we even allow you to personalise a wide selection of dog blankets to create a unique and special gift. More than just accessories Place the first batch of hook-and-loop fastener on the chest strap by pinning the rough side of a 2” piece to the outside fabric in the middle of one of the sides of the chest strap. If you’re sewing this for a medium or large size dog—of if you just have a particularly rambunctious dog like I do—I recommend using two strips of hook-and-loop fastener on each strap.Pin the soft side of the fastener to the middle of the lining side of the other chest strap. Repeat with the belly band straps. In the UK, dogs are unlikely to need paw coverings, unless the thermostat drops below around -5°C. Their paws will get cold in winter, but it’s best to let them warm up gradually. Don’t be tempted to plunge your dog’s paws into warm water after a walk – the extra throbbing can be uncomfortable.
