How to care for your Snow Dog Guard
■When using a washing machine <br>Do not use fabric softener. Instead, use detergent for delicates or detergent for water-repellent fabrics (raincoat detergent).
Fabric softeners can damage the original properties of the fabric, so be sure to check the ingredients of your detergent.
If laundry detergent remains on the fabric, it will reduce its water-repellent properties, so be sure to rinse thoroughly (twice) and minimize the number of spin-dry cycles.
*Please be sure to use a laundry net.
■ When washing by hand <br> Washing only with water without detergent will leave dirt and oil on the fabric, which will impair the water repellency. Be sure to use detergent, avoid rubbing, and wash by pressing. Rinse thoroughly and spin dry lightly.
■How to dry <br>After washing, hang dry in the shade if possible.
Maintenance method
Our products are treated with a highly durable water-repellent coating. Water-repellent properties that may temporarily decrease due to friction or dirt during use, long-term use, or repeated washing can be restored with proper care.
*Depending on the frequency of use and the number of maintenances, it may not be restored. *Please wash to remove dirt, rinse thoroughly to ensure that no detergent residue remains, and then perform maintenance.
<Heat treatment with an iron>
After the garment has completely dried, set the iron to a low temperature (maximum 120 degrees) and iron the fabric gently and slowly without applying pressure to restore its water-repellent properties to almost their original state.
*If the water-repellent properties do not return even after ironing after extended use, you can use a commercially available water-repellent agent.

Crotch cut function
ALPHAICON dog wear comes in models equipped with a crotch cut function.
Crotch cut refers to the fact that coveralls usually have a large opening around the stomach area to make it easier for boys to defecate. However, ALPHAICON believes that the parts that boys and girls want to cover are different.
Therefore, we made the belly area, which is prone to getting dirty during walks, double-layered. For female dogs, it can be used as is, but for male dogs, it can be cut with scissors to fit the dog's position. (Utility Model Registration No. 3162137)
