Hi All,
Great site. A lot of helpful tips. Just adopted three-legged Rugar. The Humane Society told me the operation (his right rear leg) happened just this past month so he's missing a lot of fur. They expect it to be back by the spring. Well, we live in New England and it's cold this time of year. Any idea where I can find a sweater for Rugar's unique situation?

Hi Putski, thanks so much for opening your heart to Rugar and joining us here at Tripawds. What a wonderful human you are!
Off the top of our heads we don't know of a sweater for rear-legged dogs (brrrr...sounds cold over there!), but we'll start wracking our brains to find one for you. Anyone out there know of a good sweater for Rugar?

Hi there, I know how that feels!! Also had my fur shaven for my operation - just as Winter crept in... This didnt help alot for my arthiritis.. I didnt get a sweater - grandma just made me a nice bed inside and have since then been sleeping next to their bed... and sometimes on the bed. hiehiehie...
Good luck with growing back the fur!!
Lotsa licks,
Dee xx
Try looking for Fido Fleece. They are fleece jackets for dogs, I got one at my local Pet Supplies Plus store for by Great Dane Nova. I think there are several online retailers who sell them, try http://www.prem.....escription
