Stockman Series™ 'Premier' Dog Coat - Review


The Stockman Series™ 'Premier' Original is a waterproof dog coat designed by Australian company Pet Protector Hunter Valley.

Founder Karen Stevenson was fed up with coats that would constantly slip off her active dogs so she created an entire range of dog coats that will stay on, keep your dogs warm and last from one winter season into the next. 

Shouldn't all dog coats fulfill these simple requirements? Sadly many don't, as they are manufactured poorly overseas using velcro straps or fasteners that wear out quickly...

WHAT WE LIKE

The outer shell of the Stockman Series™ 'Premier' Original dog coat is made from premium quality 600 Denier Cordura which will keep your pooch dry.

The 200gsm polyester fill provides an insulating layer to keep out the cold air. A cosy soft fleecy inner lining was added to provide extra comfort.

Our favourite feature (and a massive improvement on coats we trialled in the past) is the attached belly band which enabled me to secure the coat on our dog Aramis from underneath to over her back and sides. I could then adjust the nylon strips around her waist for a perfect fit. On frosty mornings, this band provides additional protection from the wind and winter chill.
Our Malinois is quite a slim and fit dog however the dog coats we tried previously were hardly flattering for her figure! The right fit also means a greater ease of movement during our walks so she's now able to run around without feeling encumbered by wearing a dog coat.

The heavy duty side release buckle means taking this coat on or off is fuss-free.

The 'Premier' Original model is available in two colours with a matching fleece lining:

  • Camo Green/Khaki (featured) with a light Olive fleece lining 
  • Black/Red with a dark Grey fleece lining

This range is available in 6 sizes: 40cm (Pug), 45cm (Cavalier Spaniel), 53cm (Kelpie), 61cm (Boxer), 68cm (Labrador/Belgian Shepherd), 76cm (German Shepherd/Bull Mastiff) and 82cm (Great Dane).

The 'Premier-X' range is best suited to the broader or stocky breeds like the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Bull Mastiff, Rottweiler who all need the extra neck width.

The 'Slimline' range is designed for small dogs e.g. Chihuahuas or Dachshunds (with sizes starting from 28cm) and working dog breeds incl. Greyhounds, Kelpies, Koolies etc.

The website includes a sizing chart to ensure you order the perfect fit for your pooch.

Dog Eye Injuries can be a Vet Emergency

Eye injuries in dogs and cats are common and are usually caused by trauma (such as a fight with another animal), a foreign body in the eye, infection, an inability to form lubricating tears, or an abnormality in the eye.  WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF AN EYE INJURY? Presentations for these include squinting, pawing the eye or face, watery eyes, a discharge from the eye, the eyes can look red or inflammed, the pupil size may be abnormal, or the pet simply appears uncomfortable or in pain. But when is this an emergency and when should pet owners seek veterinary help? Most injuries that appear superficial occur to the cornea. This is the outer layer of your pet’s eye. There are many very thin layers to the cornea and the seriousness of the injury depends on how many of the layers have been damaged. Injuries to the outermost layer can heal quickly with medication in little time. However, the deeper the injury, the greater the chance of scarring or blindness which often requires surgery to prev...

AWLQ’s Stray Animals’ Day – a chance to make a $124,000 difference Ambassador NRL Titan Chris McQueen has launched AWLQ’s inaugural Stray Animals’ Day April 4 challenge with a target of $124,000, to cover the cost of running its vital foster house program. “An incredible 6,200 animals, or more than 71% of all animals in AWLQ’s care, spend time in foster care each year,” Chris McQueen said. Oliver, the Staffy cross - what a difference a month makes! Animals, just like Oliver. The Staffy cross had a severe skin condition and has so far spent a month with foster carer Amelia and was at the challenge launch. “It’s amazing to see the difference in Oliver’s condition in that time,” Chris said. “This is clearly a happy dog that is enjoying a home environment while he recuperates.   “In the off-season Nicole and I would be looking to foster for AWLQ – as it’s so rewarding and makes such a difference.” Animal Welfare League Queensland continues to be a leader in animal rehoming....
