How long can my dog wear the garment for allergy treatment?

Will the garment overheat my dog?

By K9 Wellness Team / January 13, 2017

NO, The material is Breathable and will not overheat your dog. However we recommend that your dog use a lighter colored material if out in the sun for prolonged periods.
