Frequently Asked Questions about Products

How do I measure my puppy?

To select the correct size of bandanas and harnesses for your dog, you need to measure him. The only material you will need is a sewing tape measure (not rigid).

For bandanas, you need to measure the circumference of your dog's neck. Measure the neck from the base of the neck, the part of the neck that is widest, with the tape measure, so that it is not too tight, being able to fit two fingers between the neck and the tape measure.

For harnesses, it is necessary to measure not only the neck circumference but also the chest circumference of the dog. To do this, measure from the base of the neck, passing behind the front legs, and across the widest part of the dog's chest. As with the neck, it is necessary that the measuring tape is not too tight on the dog's body, allowing two fingers to fit between the chest and the measuring tape.

With these measurements noted, you can now go to the products and select, paying attention to the sizing guide for each one, the appropriate size for your dog.

How to wash products?

Keeping products clean is important for the health of our dogs and also for the durability of the products themselves.

So, to make sure that both your dog and your products always look amazing, we've got a complete guide on how to clean and care for your products.

PRE-WASH:

1. Before washing, shake the products to remove any grass, dust or other dirt. This will prevent larger particles from clogging the sink or washing machine.

2. If the products have visible stains such as mud or food, pre-treat them with a mild stain remover, following the instructions of the selected stain remover.

HAND WASH:

Materials needed:

  • A bucket or sink
  • Mild detergent (mild pet-safe detergent or baby shampoo..)
  • Soft brush or sponge.


Instructions:

1. Fill a bucket with warm water and add a few drops of the chosen mild detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals such as bleach or fabric softener, as they can damage the material and irritate the dog's skin.

2. Immerse the product in water and shake it gently. Use a soft brush or sponge to scrub, especially in dirty areas. Also, pay special attention to seams and fittings.

3. Clean the clasps and buckles thoroughly to remove dirt. It is advisable to use a toothbrush for this.

4. Once the product is clean, rinse it with cold running water to remove any soap residue, as this could irritate the dog's skin.

MACHINE WASH:

Our products are machine washable, however, certain precautions must be taken, such as always washing in a washing bag (since it contains buckles and fasteners).

Materials needed:

  • Washing machine bag..
  • Mild washing machine detergent.


Instructions:

1. Place the products in a washing machine-safe bag.

2. Use a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water, preferably. A delicate cycle works better and takes better care of the product's life.

3. Add a small amount of mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners as they can break down the material over time.

DRYING:

All products must be dried on a clothesline. To ensure that our products have a long life, it is important not to use a dryer, as this reduces the life of the products.

1. Dry the product in the open air, preferably avoiding direct sunlight, as it can fade the colours.

2nd. To hang, it is preferable not to hang from one end.

3. It is advisable to dry plastic or metal appliqués with a towel or a hair dryer on cold setting to ensure that there is no moisture left on them.

What are the benefits of the Imperium harness?

Our Imperium harness is an H-shaped harness, ideal for daily walks as it has the features that make it the most comfortable for your dog and its joints:

  • It does not affect the throat or trachea.
  • It does not affect shoulder mobility.
  • It can be adjusted to pass behind the front limb, below the ribs and not exactly under the dog's arm (which could cause chafing).
  • Secure buckle that does not bounce off the dog's back when running.
