Winter is coming soon, the weather is getting colder. My older mastiff will be 11yrs old in a few weeks. He is not as heavy as he used to be. This is a good thing for his joints, but not for the cold. I have tried different dog coats on him, nothing seems to fit large breed dogs. They say they are x large but only fit dogs around 90 lbs or so. If they fit around his chest they are not long enough to go to his rear. Dogs wearing coats is silly looking to me. I used to pick on my wife for making him wear one. Until last year in the training barn, He keep poking at his coat hanging on the rack. I new he must really like it. This coat did not fit very good, and did not stay in place very well, But he liked it. So I did some checking and found that RUFF WEAR makes a really nice dog coat, It truly does fit the large breed dogs. I also know of a man in Milan who has one on his service dog,�a Great Dane. This is a nice product, Fits well, looks nice, and stays in place. This is one birthday present for Justice.
The other one is his new dog bed. PET SAFE makes a dog mat, a dog bed, and a dog sleeper. These have heat and massage, The mat is good for putting in a crate, and it is heated, Like an electric blanket. The dog bed and the sleeper both have heat and massage. The sleeper is a bed with sides on it. Not necessary for my dogs, they just lay over the sides anyway. But more than likly the little dogs would like them. These beds are awesome for dogs with arthritis. It not only helps keep them warm, it also seems soothing to there joints. Just like a recliner with heat and massage. When your cold, stiff, and tired that chair sure feels good.

My dog cherishes his bed as much as I cherish mine own. Since he turns 11 next month, I think I will consider heated dog bed. Nice article.

I’m a English Mastiff weighing 154 lbs., my mother bought me the perfect coat from http://www.moondoggie.com or 904-543-0653. It’s actually just a little tooooo big, but I’m still growing.

I had a bull mastiff, with a bit of great dane. I know what you mean about finding coats and things to fit such a large dog. There are some extra large, heated dog beds available though. Orthopedic ones are best for larger breeds.
