Which fabrics should I choose or avoid for my dog? | FAQ

The type of fabric in contact with your dog’s coat is not a minor detail — it directly affects comfort, breathability, and coat condition.

Recommended:

• Cotton: natural, breathable, and gentle on both skin and coat
• High-quality technical polyester: lightweight, durable, and designed to manage moisture and breathability
• Smooth, low-friction materials: help reduce tangling and coat stress

Use with care:

• Wool: excellent as an outer layer, but direct contact with the skin can be too warm or irritating, especially if it contains lanolin
• treated or softer variants may be more suitable, but should be evaluated case by case

Avoid (especially in direct contact with the coat):

• Fleece: tends to trap heat and moisture and can increase friction
• Polyamide (nylon): often less breathable and can create rubbing
• Low-quality polyester: does not manage moisture properly and may lead to unpleasant odours

A useful indicator:
If your dog develops odour after wearing a garment, it often suggests poor breathability or low-quality materials.

Material choice should always be based on how it interacts with your dog’s skin and coat — not just on appearance or durability.
