Furrybae garment care
How should you care for dog clothes?
Care starts with the sewn-in label and the dog wearing the garment. Machine wash cool, no bleach, dry in the shade, low heat iron. Remove clothing when it is wet, soiled, restrictive or distressing, then clean and dry it according to the verified garment label.
How should you wash Furrybae dog clothes?
Machine wash cool and skip the bleach, then dry in the shade. The sewn-in label is the authority for your exact garment. Remove loose dirt, wash a wet or soiled garment before reuse, rinse away detergent, and keep unpublished settings marked pending rather than guessing.
The short version: machine wash cool, no bleach, dry in shade, low heat iron. Bamboo cotton keeps its softness and shape if you treat it gently.
The controlling claims standard permits Furrybae to reproduce the exact sewn-in instructions once they have been checked against the correct product. “Machine washable”, “no shrinkage” and similar performance statements remain blocked without that record and relevant testing.
Can Furrybae clothes go in a tumble dryer?
We would not put these in a tumble dryer. Heat is what shrinks a terry knit and takes the softness out of it. Use only the drying method printed on the garment label. Do not publish or rely on a tumble-dry setting until it is verified for that colourway and batch.
- Check the sewn-in drying symbol and wording before every first wash.
- Do not treat a care instruction from one colourway as evidence for another.
- Let the garment dry fully before dressing the dog again.
When should you remove a garment from your dog?
Remove the garment when it becomes wet or soiled, movement changes, panting increases, or the dog shows rubbing, redness, persistent scratching or distress. Clothing does not replace shade, water, ventilation or rest in warm conditions. Ask a veterinarian before covering an existing skin condition, wound or unexplained area of irritation.
Dogs regulate heat primarily through panting, with limited sweating through their paws. A human-style “sweat-wicking” explanation must not be transferred to a clothed dog’s torso. See the material evidence page for the evidence boundary.

How often should a dog garment be washed?
There is no approved universal wear-count schedule for Furrybae garments. Wash a garment when its verified label requires it and before reuse after it becomes wet or soiled. Frequency also depends on the dog, activity and contact conditions. A customer impression about freshness cannot replace a product-specific care instruction or odour-performance test.
Wash it when it needs washing. That is the whole care routine, and it is the thing that actually keeps a garment fresh.
How should you supervise a cat wearing dog clothes?
Supervise a cat's first wear and keep checking the neckline, chest, forelegs and toileting clearance. Remove the garment if the cat freezes, hides, tries to back out, chews it or cannot move normally. Never leave a cat unattended in clothing; cat proportions and reactions can differ from the dog sizing used here.
Start with a short, observed fitting indoors. Keep any hood clear of the face and ears, and take the garment off rather than trying to coax a distressed cat through the wear. The size guide explains how to take neck and chest measurements, but it is not a cat-specific fit chart.
What should you inspect before the next wear?
Before reuse, check that the garment is dry and inspect the neck, chest, armholes, seams, labels and any closures for damage, distortion or rough contact points. Dress the dog only when the garment allows normal movement and toileting. Stop using it if damage, rubbing or a changed fit creates a new risk.
