**Measuring Your Dog:**
1. Back length: Measure from the withers (not the collar) to the base of the tail with your dog standing normally.
2. Neckline: Measure at the base of the neck, the widest part. The parka's neckline can be adjusted for a smaller neck.
3. Chest: Measure at the widest part of the chest, behind the front legs. Make sure the parka's chest is wider for freedom of movement.
Using the Hurtta Blackberry Expedition Dog Parka is a breeze. First, measure your dog's back length, neckline, and chest following the guidelines provided. Then, choose the right size for a comfortable fit. Slip the parka over your dog's head and adjust the neckline, back length, and collar circumference as needed. The adjustable features ensure a snug fit for all body types.
When it comes to maintenance, this parka is easy to take care of. You can machine wash it on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners as they may damage the material. After washing, let it air dry. This will keep the parka in good condition for a long time.
Some important things to keep in mind. Make sure the parka is not too tight, as it could restrict your dog's movement. Check the fit regularly, especially if your dog is growing or gaining/losing weight. Also, keep an eye on the 3M reflectors. If they start to wear out, it's a good idea to replace the parka for your dog's safety during low-light conditions.
