• Soak in water. As it absorbs the water, gently massage all areas to encourage water absorption in all areas. Your cooling coat will open as you do this.
• Gently wring out the excess water, leaving plenty of water in it but without it dripping.
• Put it on your dog, do not over-tighten the girth strap as your dog will need room to be able to lie down.
• If the coat dries up while you’re outside, you can rewet the coat or pour water on it.
• Once you’re done with the coat, fold it up into a convenient size for storage while it is still wet. Let it dry naturally, preferably in a location with air circulation where it will not take long to dry. DO NOT store the coat inside a plastic bag. Improper storing techniques can lead to the growth of mildew or mold. No Refunds.

-IT IS ESSENTIAL THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOLLOWED. THIS WILL MAXIMISE THE LIFE AND SMART APPEARANCE OF YOUR COAT.

For the longest life and to avoid incorrect storage, always allow the coat to dry naturally when not in use. While it is still wet, fold your coat to a convenient size for storage and let it dry naturally in a place with air circulation. It will dry hard (like a chamois leather).

Do not bend, fold, or pull the vest apart when it’s dry. This product is made in layers with a mesh within, and you may damage a surface. This will not impact performance but will prove less aesthetically pleasing.

Store different color cooling vests separately from each other.

Improper storing techniques can lead to the growth of mildew or mold. No Refunds No exchanges.

This product is made of a material specially designed to hold water without wetting your dog.

It is the evaporation of the water from the coat that cools your dog rather than the cold water it holds. The ambient temperature will determine the rate of cooling as it determines the rate of evaporation.

So, while your dog stays dry and odor-free, the cooling material transfers heat away from your dog, keeping your dog cool and comfortable.

IT IS ESSENTIAL THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOLLOWED. THIS WILL MAXIMISE THE LIFE AND SMART APPEARANCE OF YOUR COAT. You can wash your Aqua Mat cooling vest or towel either by hand or in the machine.

• Use cool water, 30 – 40 C max.

• If you add anything to the water, then use a mild disinfectant and dilute it as instructed by the manufacturer, pouring it into the soap dispenser and not straight onto the coat. You may use your washing powder/tablets, but again you must put them in the soap dispenser and not into the drum of the machine.
• Always ensure when washing that the hook and loop fastenings (velcro style) are fastened together.
• Wash separately and wash colors separately.
