Using your Tough1 600D Dog Blanket is easy. First, make sure your dog is clean and dry. Place the blanket over your dog's back, align the shoulder gussets with its shoulders for a comfortable fit. Buckle the front closure according to the size of the blanket. For large dogs, use the double - buckle closure, and for medium and smaller dogs, use the single - buckle one. Adjust the belly wrap for a snug fit. When it comes to maintenance, spot - clean small stains with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, you can machine - wash the blanket on a gentle cycle. Always air - dry it to avoid damage. Be careful not to use harsh chemicals or bleach as they can degrade the fabric. Check the blanket regularly for any signs of wear and tear, and replace it if necessary to keep your dog safe and comfortable.
