Using this jacket is easy. Just put it on your dog like you would a regular coat, making sure to adjust the bungee cord stoppers for a snug fit. The reversible design allows you to switch up the look as you like. When it comes to safety, the reflective piping means your dog will be more visible during walks. For maintenance, you can machine wash it in cold water. But remember to close the hook and loop before washing. Don't use bleach as it might damage the fabric. After washing, dry it flat. Avoid ironing and dry - cleaning to keep the jacket in good condition.
