Keeping the underdog dry

Claire Horton-Bussey's Madi (from Many Tears) is generally thought to be a Corgi-Border Collie cross. She'd like to ask for some help.

"We know her mum was a collie, and she's the spit of a Pembroke Corgi in many respects, not least her short legs! We live in a forest and she runs for miles every day, but she hates her tummy being wet afterwards! She refuses to lie down or stand for what seems like hours when we return from a wet/muddy walk, if her tum is the slightest bit damp!

I've looked at dog coats for her, but really we just need an underbelly protector - she doesn't need a full coat as such. I've found simple underbelly coats, but they all seem only to cover half a tum - I guess to accommodate boy dogs. But we need something that will give her maximum tum protection."

Any manufacturers out there with any suitable products Madi could try? Email beverley@dogstodaymagazine.co.uk and I'll pass the details on.
