The funny thing is that a male Great Dane is the actual size of an equine foal, or yearling...
Amazing!
Many Great Dane owners choose equine blankets as dog blankets for Great Danes.
Why not, after all we've all been heckled "that's a Horse", or "put a saddle on that thing" at one time or another.
Seems that many equine suppliers have caught on to this Dane phenomenon, great for us "cost conscious" Dane owners as these blankets offer simple, yet functional protection against the cold.
We searched, made a few phone calls, and uncovered some nice places to buy dog blankets for Great Danes.
Here are a few equine supply stores, our favorite being State Line Tack. Offering the best prices on quality foal and yearling blankets, as well as equine turn out blankets that fit Great Danes quite nicely.
As a general rule of thumb, foal blankets will fit females and smaller males while yearling blankets are better for large males.
You can visit State Line Tack and view their blankets following this link.
For a big male, search 600D, you will see results of about 10 different style equine blankets. Also search foal, or yearling blankets for smaller male, or female Great Danes.
Very Important Information!
You must Measure your dog as you would a horse, from center of chest, to base of tail. Grab a soft tape, go from the center of chest, around the shoulder, to base of tail, use this measurement for ordering a horse blanket:)
