Essential Washing Guidelines

Temperature & Cycle Settings

Recommended temperature: 30-40°C (86-104°F)
This optimal temperature range effectively cleans while preserving the integrity of synthetic fibers and maintaining the flexibility crucial for your collar's comfort and longevity.

Cycle type: Delicate wash with reduced spin speed
Gentle cycles protect the collar structure and prevent stress on buckles, D-rings, and adjustment mechanisms during washing.

Protection: Always use a mesh laundry bag
A mesh bag prevents tangling, protects hardware from damage, and keeps the collar properly positioned throughout the wash cycle.

Avoid: Aggressive detergents, bleaches, or fabric softeners
Harsh chemicals can break down fibers, fade colors, and reduce the performance characteristics of your collar materials.

⚠️ Important: Never wash webbing collars with items that have Velcro or hook-and-loop fasteners
Velcro can snag and damage the webbing material, creating pulls and weakening the structural integrity of your collar.

Drying Best Practices

Air Dry Only

Natural air drying preserves material integrity
Air drying maintains the precise fit and flexibility engineered into your DOGMA collar, ensuring optimal comfort and performance for daily wear.

Never use: Heating appliances or tumble dryers
High heat can cause shrinkage, material distortion, and damage to elastic components, compromising the safety and fit of your collar.

Goal: Prevent material deformation and extend product life
Proper drying techniques ensure your collar maintains its shape and continues to provide consistent, comfortable fit around your dog's neck.

Drying tips:

• Lay flat or hang in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight
• Ensure the collar is fully extended for even air circulation
• Allow extra time for buckle areas and hardware to dry completely
• Check that adjustment holes and D-ring attachments are thoroughly dry
