Dog Wetsuits on Sale!

Just a quick note to let you know that we have  some discontinued wetsuits to clear – so check out our clearance page before they all go.

We also have new stock of this season’s  dog wetsuits ready for the summer (which we hope is on its way). They are available in plain or camo pattern to suit a wide range of sizes.

Although wetsuits are ideal for swimming because they keep your dog warm and add buoyancy, many people buy them simply for using on walks. Some dogs manage to get their undersides filthy while out and the wetsuit helps to keep the chest and tummy clean – saving a lot of washing/brushing time when you get home.

If your dog swims regularly in deep or fast-running water, then a life preserver is a good idea. We now stock the RuffWear FloatCoat lifejacket – special intro price!

Ruff Wear Back In Stock !

We’re delighted to announce that we are once again stocking Ruff Wear – top quality boots, harnesses, travel beds (and more!) for your dog.

We have tried some other brands but quality wins out every time so we are switching back to Ruff Wear.  Their boots and harnesses may not be cheapest out there – but they are top quality and long lasting and have been safety tested – so you know they will last!

To mark the relaunch, we are running special offers on the Ruff Wear Web Master harness, Ruff Wear Grip Trex boots and the lovely (and very practical) roll up travel bed.     

You can see the full range on our website

More about our sumptuous rug  coat ….

Made from two layers of quality 390gsm Italian towelling with a generous layer of wadding sandwiched between, the towelling rug coat is ideal for many different uses.

Use it after swimming, hydrotherapy, the dreaded bath – or just  a little TLC  for a dog who feels the cold.  Some customers use theirs as a walking coat for their dog in cold weather (but it’s important to mention that it is not waterproof so not designed to replace a weatherproof coat.)

Many people put it on their dog after a wet walk because it avoids the splattered walls once the your dog decides to have a good shake. It’s also good for the same reason if you put your dog into the car after a wet walk.

Thanks to the thick towelling and layer of wadding, heavy coated dogs dry so much more quickly than they would otherwise and it’s good for helping to keep the coat flat too.

So, to be in with a chance of winning one for your dog, simply visit our pagebook page and click the “like” icon. That’s all there is to it.

Good luck – and if you want to see the small print then please read on……

The towelling rug dog coat is available in sizes from 12 inch to 36 inch length – so it’s suitable for everything from small dogs to Great Danes.  Postage is free to entrants in the UK but if you are overseas and wish to enter,  then you would need to pay postage (at cost price).

Good luck – and thanks for reading!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

It’s been a busy and exciting week for us as many customers get ready for the big event – Crufts 2013 in Birmingham.

There’s been a real buzz in the past couple of days with last minute urgent orders for vital purchases – including a new set of show boots sent off at the last minute because one Crufts hopeful ate his other ones.

The forecast was apparently for rain so owners are obviously keen to be prepared because they want to keep their pooches as clean and dry as possible.

Many will be sporting our very own all-in-one mudsuit/rainsuit on the trip to the show ring – so watch out for them if you are there – and quite a few have been both suited and booted by CountryMun.

Our show (benching) boots are brilliant for keeping paws and legs clean until the dog gets to its bench.

So – what were the top five purchases for crufts pooches? Overall winner was our luxury towelling rug coat which dries your dog FAST and keeps it warm in the car – followed by our showboots, stopper pad protectors, Quickie rain coat and all-in-one mud/rainsuit.

Sadly we can’t be there to join in the fun – but rest assured that we are there in spirit and we wish everyone the best of luck.

Obviously, they can’t all be winners – but they can have great fun taking part.

We would love to see any pictures of dogs taking part this year and hopefully we could post them on our blog – so please send any pix to sales@countrymun.com

 

 

Dog Chipping Law

The news this week has been dominated by the controversy of the Same Sex Marriage Bill wending its way through parliament – while a huge change in doggie law got very few headlines.

If it goes ahead, all dogs in Britain will have to be micro-chipped by 2016 or owners could face huge fines. (Free chipping will be on offer for owners who need it thanks to the the Dogs’ Trust and other charities).

This sounds great in principle  because at the moment so many lost dogs never get reunited with their owners because they haven’t been chipped. If they stray a long way from home – or worse are stolen and then dumped – no-one knows where they belong.

But many dogs are “lost” because that is just what their owner intended. Pups that chew up the house, unwanted Christmas surprises, owners who have fallen on hard times – there are many reasons why dogs are thrown out and left to fend for themselves.  It is very sad but usually they are picked up by a council dog warden and often, they at least get the chance of a new and better home after being adopted at the pound.

Since most are unchipped, their owners  feel secure in the knowledge that the animal won’t be returned but if by law the dog was chipped, what would happen then if the owner didn’t want it any longer?

Mollie (adorable, abused lurcher and our very own pound rescue dog).

Chipping will certainly work for genuine lost dogs but what about the others? Will an owner make a trip to the pound with the unwanted pet  to explain the dog needs a new home – or will the dog’s story end very differently?

Back in Stock!

It’s been REALLY cold over the past few weeks and we’ve struggled to keep up with demand for our luxury towelling rug coat – so apologies if you tried to order and we were out of stock in your chosen size.

The good news is – that while we can’t do anything about the freezing cold weather – we do now have stock of the towelling rug coat in all sizes from 14 inch (36 cms) to 30 inch (76 cms).

The towelling rug is excellent for use after bathing, hydrotherapy, swimming – or just a special treat after a long, cold walk!  It’s especially popular because it dries your dog so much faster than a normal towel.  Don’t just take our word for it – check out the customer reviews on our website!

That’s because it features quality wadding (think duvet!) sandwiched between two layers of 390gsm Italian double-sided towelling – which makes it ultra absorbent.  It is completed by a very wide belt with velcro adjustment. A great gift for your four-legged friend when you think he/she deserves a little TLC.

 

Your dog’s best friend is its towelling rug coat

And we’ve saved the best till last ….. we have also extended our Special 10% online discount so that people who couldn’t get their size earlier don’t lose out. Make sure you click the box saying ‘Apply’ when you add your ‘Special10′ code at checkout. 

Cooling Cooler Coat for Summer Sun

Well, it seems that summer  is finally here – or at least a few hot days in a row!

That means busier days at Country Mun as people do their best to help their canine companions to beat the heat.

In fact, we have already sold out of some popular  sizes in our amazing Cooler coat – so grab one while you can.

The Cooler is a lightweight, heat reflective tabard with a cool cotton lining – designed to help your dog to stay cooler in hot weather.

It is also waterproof and better yet, it is reversible which means you can simply turn it inside out and use it in cooler weather to trap the heat in.

A huge seller in warmer weather – and with overseas customers – it comes in a standard shape to fit most breeds with sizes from 12 inch (30cms) upto 36 inch (92 cms).

The Cooler should be fitted BEFORE your dog gets hot for maximum benefit and it should be loose fitting to allow air movement.

The Cooler Coat helps against against coat discolouration and is fully washable.

It is easy to fit – just slip it over the head and it has an elasticated front and adjustable elastic belt with Velcro fastening.

Folds up small to slip in your coat pocket or bag so you can take it on outings without any trouble.
