<p>My little guy loves to go outside no matter what the weather. Problem is, when it's the least bit wet outside his underside and chest gets completely <span style="text-decoration: underline;">covered</span> in mud. We keep a towel by the door and wipe him down when we get in. It's spring now, and that means it's wet nearly every day - I'm looking for a solution to keep the mud levels down because we are going through multiple towels a day. The other day it was so bad he had to have an emergency bath when we got in - can't have a bath every day!</p>
<p>Does anyone know if there's a good rain coat that covers lots of the belly/chest area, or does anyone have another solution to muddy bellies? I'm tempted to try making my own coat / rain cover soon...</p>

<p>Check out the windchill, stay warm and here are some tips from ASPCA:</p>
<p> </p>
<ol class="bulletDisc">
<li>Keep your cat inside. Outdoors, felines can freeze, become lost or be stolen, injured or killed. Cats who are allowed to stray are exposed to infectious diseases, including rabies, from other cats, dogs and wildlife. </li>
<li>During the winter, outdoor cats sometimes sleep under the hoods of cars. When the motor is started, the cat can be injured or killed by the fan belt. If there are outdoor cats in your area, bang loudly on the car hood before starting the engine to give the cat a chance to escape. <br/><br/></li>
<li><strong>Never</strong> let your dog off the leash on snow or ice, especially during a snowstorm—dogs can lose their scent and easily become lost. More dogs are lost during the winter than during any other season, so make sure yours always wears ID tags. <br/><br/></li>
<li>Thoroughly wipe off your dog's legs and stomach when he comes in out of the sleet, snow or ice. He can ingest salt, antifreeze or other potentially dangerous chemicals while licking his paws, and his paw pads may also bleed from snow or encrusted ice. <br/><br/></li>
<li>Never shave your dog down to the skin in winter, as a longer coat will provide more warmth. When you bathe your dog in the colder months, be sure to completely dry him before taking him out for a walk. Own a short-haired breed? Consider getting him a coat or sweater with a high collar or turtleneck with coverage from the base of the tail to the belly. For many dogs, this is regulation winter wear. <br/><br/></li>
<li><strong>Never</strong> leave your dog or cat alone in a car during cold weather. A car can act as a refrigerator in the winter, holding in the cold and causing the animal to freeze to death. <br/><br/></li>
<li>Puppies do not tolerate the cold as well as adult dogs, and <strong>may be difficult</strong> to housebreak during the winter. If your puppy appears to be sensitive to the weather, you may opt to paper-train him inside. If your dog is sensitive to the cold due to age, illness or breed type, take him outdoors only to relieve himself. <br/><br/></li>
<li>Does your dog spend a lot of time engaged in outdoor activities? Increase his supply of food, particularly protein, to keep him—and his fur—in tip-top shape. <br/><br/></li>
<li>Like coolant, antifreeze is a lethal poison for dogs and cats. Be sure to thoroughly clean up any spills from your vehicle, and consider using products that contain propylene glycol rather than ethylene glycol. Visit the <a href="http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/poison-control/">ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center</a> more information. <br/><br/></li>
<li>Make sure your companion animal has a warm place to sleep, off the floor and away from all drafts. A cozy dog or cat bed with a warm blanket or pillow is perfect.</li>

<p>Have a great day!</p>
<p> </p> Potty Training in the Rain, need help.tag:mycorgi.com,2008-04-28:1150197:Topic:968142008-04-28T23:46:42.912ZJameshttp://mycorgi.com/profile/James20
Cheez-it slept a good part of the day, he got up and immediately pee'd the biggest pee he has ever pee'd. It was my fault, I put him down for a second to get the leash. Anyway, We went out he did nothing and then we came inside and I kenneled him. So here is the problem.<br />
<br />
He went to sleep for another 3 hours, You know as well as I that he has to eliminate. But it is raining. I took him outside and he just shakes and runs to the door and he is really very scared. I am almost afraid he will choke…

<br />
He went to sleep for another 3 hours, You know as well as I that he has to eliminate. But it is raining. I took him outside and he just shakes and runs to the door and he is really very scared. I am almost afraid he will choke himself pulling the leash like that. He will NOT go in the rain. I helped him out there, he flips out and runs inside. No potty is happening like this.<br />
<br />
I brought him in and he is dry and in his kennel, but he's going to pee any moment. What should I do? Need help fast!<br />
<br />
Thanks
