With Hurricane Sandy rolling in, everyone needs to be prepared for the weather and that includes your pooch. So make sure you're protecting them from the storm and grab them a Greyhound Rain Coat. Your dog will still need to make his trips outside to go to the bathroom, so help make that a little more tolerable for them with this protective coat.

The Greyhound Rain Coat looks like a classic yellow human rain coat, but this one is made for your pooch. Eng Kornelsen has made this sweet coat available on her [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/create-a-wedding-registry) page. There's a number of different sizes and colors available for your, no matter what their size.

Don't let your pup get stuck in Hurricane Sandy without a protective Greyhound Rain Coat.
