In From The Cold

New Zealand Red Cross teams are prepared to go out in all weathers, but some team members suffer a bit from the often hostile conditions. That should all change with a little help from Fairydown.

The company has been producing warm clothing for the Red Cross Search Dog units for some time, but now it has turned its attention to the canine team members. Fairydown recently developed a jacket for the dogs, consisting of a waterproof, breathable outer layer and a fleecy inner lining.

The short-haired dogs have been doing a lot of mountain work finding climbers buried in snow, and are expected to appreciate the cold weather clothing.
