Care Instructions: Keeping Your DOGMA Harness in Perfect Condition
Share
Your DOGMA anatomical dog harness is crafted using premium materials and reinforced stitching. To ensure your Y-harness maintains its comfort, durability, and vibrant appearance for years of adventures, proper care is essential. Following these simple guidelines will preserve the engineered fit and safety features that make your harness special.
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 elasticity crucial for your anatomical dog harness fit.
Cycle type: Delicate wash with reduced spin speed
Gentle cycles protect the Y-harness 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 straps 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 harness materials.
⚠️ Important: Never wash webbing harnesses 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 harness.
Drying Best Practices
Air Dry Only
Natural air drying preserves material integrity
Air drying maintains the precise fit and flexibility engineered into your anatomical dog harness, ensuring optimal comfort and performance.
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 Y-harness.
Goal: Prevent material deformation and extend product life
Proper drying techniques ensure your harness maintains its shape and continues to distribute pressure evenly across your dog's chest.
Drying tips:
- Hang in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight
- Ensure all straps are spread out for even air circulation
- Allow extra time for thicker areas and hardware to dry completely
With proper care, your DOGMA harness will continue to provide the comfort, safety, and style that make every walk enjoyable. These simple maintenance steps protect your investment and ensure your anatomical dog harness performs as designed, supporting countless adventures with your four-legged companion. Remember, a well-maintained harness is not just about appearance—it's about preserving the safety and comfort features that make DOGMA harnesses exceptional.
