How to Make a Poncho for Your Dog
by PETWONE
1. Choose a small garbage sized plastic bag. The plastic bag will need to cover the entire length of your dog. Look for a garbage bag that will be the right size for your dog, depending on whether you have a small, medium, or large dog.
2. Gather the rest of the supplies. To make the plastic poncho, you will need a pair of scissors and a marker that is a different color than the color of the plastic bag.
3. Find an open area. You will need to lay the bag down flat on the ground and cut it, so look for an area in your home or your backyard that is open and easy to move around in.
1. Make one long horizontal line across the bottom of the bag. This cut line will open the bag up on the long side so you can drape the bag over your dog’s body. The long strip of plastic will then act as the belt to keep the poncho attached to your dog.
2. Call your dog over and command him to stay. To make sure the poncho fits your dog properly, you will need to get your dog to stay in one spot and remain still as you measure the bag against his body.
3. Hold the plastic bag against your dog's body. This will help you measure the dimensions of the poncho so it fits your dog properly. Hold the marker in the other hand as you note where you are going to cut the plastic bag.
4. Cut the marked lines on the plastic bag. Once you have your cut lines, place the plastic bag on the ground or on a table and cut along the marked lines.
5. Place the poncho on your dog. Once you have cut the poncho to fit your dog's measurements, place it on your dog so your dog's body is covered by the poncho. It should drape over him like a sheet. His tail, neck, and head should all remain outside of the poncho and go through the half circles you made on the bag.
