Oh the embarrassment of shedding. You can see the sorrow in a dog’s eyes as its humans vacuum for hours, trying to rid the house of fur. Well, sorrow and the hope of a treat. Dogs are always optimistic about treats. Especially when they look sorrowful. Dogs are pretty cagey.
Anyway, one family decided that while they love their three dogs, they love their young son more, and because constant vacuuming couldn’t guarantee a fur-free environment, something would have to be done.
The result is K9 Top Coat’s Lycra bodysuit for dogs. It covers about 90 percent of a dog’s fur, keeping it inside the suit. It also helps keep burrs and other outdoor hazards out.
The suit comes in five colors–a favorite is red; it looks like a union suit–and costs from $57.50 to $74.50.
K9 Top Coat’s other products include fleece bodysuits for winter ($62.50 to $79.50) and bright safety vests ($35.50 to $39.50). Visit www.k9topcoat.com or call 888-833-K9K9.
