Hello everyone! My name is Alison, and I have a sweet tripod mini Schnauzer named Bunny. On my quest to give Bunny the very best in the world, I've stumbled upon an issue - there are so few options for cute, every day outfits for tripods, especially front legs! I found a few outfits here and there, but overall not many options. She currently has a coat that slides to the side of her missing limb over time during her walks. I'd love to see something like patterned onesies or shirts with covered areas for amputation sites, especially now that it's getting cold and I wouldn't want an open hole for Bunny to get cold through! What are some designs or things you wish you'd see for tripod clothing?
Hi Alison, welcome to you and Bunny! Your future posts won't need to wait for approval so post away.
Yeah it's difficult to find apparel for Tripawds because according to larger manufacturers we've talked to, making items like this on a mass scale would require holding a lot of inventory for each leg configuration, and it's not cost-effective for them. But I have seen some folks doing custom sweaters on Etsy that you might want to check out. And if you're handy with a needle and thread you can also sew up the arm hole on any of our Ruffwear Apparel items.
What kind of weather do you get where you live? Does Bunny get cold easily?
