The biggest (literally) problem I have with rugs for Chesney
is the length, he needs 7'3" rugs and not all rugs come in this size. After my purchase of an expensive rug with a
supposedly stronger outer layer last year, that ripped just as easily as
cheaper ones, I was not prepared to spend a huge amount. This time I purchased a different make from the
ones I usually have for him as there were no Shires available in his size. It is a Loveson Allpro Combo, it's a 200gm so a medium weight rug.
It has the old buckles at the front, which is a shame as I
would have liked the more modern clips for the front. However, it has the pleats on his shoulders
which are great and really improve his ability to move. I also like the bright white Loveson badge as
this helps find him in the dark!
The snuggly neck cover has 3 velcro straps to keep it in
place (these have been ripped off by Basil's teeth in the past).
It has good adjustable cross surcingles, although it may be
a bit deep for him I find I can't be too picky with his rugs! The rug has leg straps too which are fairly
average but I am disappointed with the tail flap as it is thin and smaller than
I would have liked.
I hope it will last at least until the end of this winter
and hopefully longer!
