How to care for your Snow Dog Guard
Quality Label
【Washing Instructions】
Hand washing is possible.
・Water temperature should be 40℃ or below.
・Do not use fabric softener. Use a neutral detergent (for delicate clothes) or a detergent for water-repellent fabrics.
Fabric softener may damage the original properties of the fabric, so please check the detergent ingredients.
Do not use bleach or detergents containing bleach.
・Avoid rubbing; gently press and wash.
・Rinse thoroughly.
Laundry detergent residue on the fabric will impair its water repellency.
・Spin dry in a washing machine. Place in a laundry net and set the duration to the minimum (about 1 minute).
【Drying / Storage】
After washing, open the zipper for ventilation and hang dry in the shade as much as possible.
Once completely dry, store in a place away from direct sunlight and high temperatures/humidity.
Do not tumble dry.
【Maintenance】
Our products feature a highly durable water-repellent finish. The water repellency, which may temporarily decrease due to friction, dirt, long-term use, or repeated washing, can be restored with proper care.
〈Heat treatment with an iron〉
After washing to remove dirt and ensuring the garment is completely dry, set the iron to a low temperature (maximum 120 degrees Celsius). Place a pressing cloth over the fabric and gently and slowly glide the iron without applying pressure. This can restore the water repellency to near its initial state.
※If, after long-term use, ironing no longer restores water repellency, please re-treat with a commercially available water repellent.

【About Crotch Cut】
The crotch cut refers to the fact that typical coveralls have a large opening in the belly area to allow male dogs to urinate easily. However, ALPHAICON believes that the areas needing coverage differ between male and female dogs.
Therefore, we made the belly area, which tends to get dirty during walks, with a double-layered structure. For female dogs, it can be used as is, and for male dogs, it can be cut with scissors according to their position. (Utility model registration No. 3162137)
