The perfect solution for hot summer days Prestige Cool-Coats are activated by water they are light cool & soft to the touch making them luxurious & comfortable for your dog to wear. The Cool-Coat will make your dog feel cool not wet. You can test this by putting your hand beneath the dog's coat & feeling how cool he feels compared to any part of his coat that is exposed to the sun or heat for a period of time. As the heat of the day slowly evaporates the moisture from the Cool-Coat this in turn draws the heat out of the dogs body. Leaving him feeling far cooler than before. When your Cool-Coat coat starts to dry out it will begin to go back to its natural state becoming slightly dryer & a little stiff. When this happens simply re activate your coat by putting it in water. Immersing the Cool-Coat in water for just a couple of minutes. Once the Cool-Coat is completely saturated remove the coat & squeeze out the excess water so your coat feels cool yet not wet. To clean your Cool-Coat wash through thoroughly in clean water if really irty it is safe to put your Cool-Coat through the washing machine. Please remember to Always wash your dark colours separately. To store simply allow your coat to dry & pack away. Our Cool-Coats are made from 100% synthetic material they are simple to use wash & store.
