Why is it important to choose breathable fabrics for my dog? | FAQ

Breathable fabrics allow air to circulate and moisture to evaporate, preventing heat and humidity from building up on the coat and skin.

When a material is not breathable:

• it traps heat and moisture
• creates conditions that can lead to irritation and odour
• makes movement less comfortable

This is especially important for dogs with long, dense, or mat-prone coats, where trapped moisture can affect coat quality.

Breathable fabrics, on the other hand:

• help keep the coat dry and light
• reduce the risk of overheating
• improve comfort during movement

For this reason, at DIXY’S we prioritise materials that allow proper breathability and avoid those that overly trap heat.
