Care Guide
Vallenestudio Product Care
Proper care helps dog clothing stay cleaner, more comfortable and better suited for repeated outdoor use. Different fabrics and garment constructions may require different treatment, especially waterproof shells, cooling fabrics and insulated winter apparel.
Always check any care label supplied with your specific product first. Where the product label provides instructions that differ from this general guide, follow the product-specific instructions.
Gentle care helps preserve fit, fabric performance and appearance.
01 · Before Washing Remove Loose Dirt
Brush away mud, grass, hair and debris before placing a garment into the wash.
02 · Closures Fasten Before Cleaning
Close zippers, hook-and-loop tabs and similar closures to reduce snagging.
03 · Temperature Use Gentle Conditions
Excessive heat may affect coatings, elastic, insulation or garment shape.
04 · Storage Dry Completely
Never store damp pet clothing for long periods, especially waterproof or padded styles.
Care requirements can vary by fabric and construction.
General Washing Routine
Everyday dog clothing naturally collects hair, dust, outdoor debris and occasional mud. A gentle, consistent cleaning routine helps reduce unnecessary wear while maintaining comfort.
01
Check the Garment
Inspect pockets, fasteners, leg openings, seams and reflective details before washing. Remove anything caught in the fabric.
02
Remove Surface Dirt
Allow heavy mud to dry when appropriate, then gently brush away excess dirt before washing. This reduces unnecessary abrasion during cleaning.
03
Fasten Closures
Close zippers, snaps and hook-and-loop sections before washing so they are less likely to catch on other areas of the garment.
04
Use Mild Cleaning Products
Strong detergents, bleach or aggressive cleaning agents may affect coatings, color, reflective details, elastic or technical fabric performance.
05
Dry Thoroughly
Allow the garment to dry completely before storage or reuse. Avoid direct high heat unless the product-specific care label clearly permits it.
Care by Garment Type
Vallenestudio products are designed for different seasons and activities. The fabric and construction of a lightweight cooling garment are not cared for in exactly the same way as a padded winter coat or waterproof full-leg suit.
Rain & Outdoor Protection
Waterproof / Water-Resistant Clothing
Technical outer fabrics may rely on coatings, laminations or surface treatments that can be affected by harsh washing.
- Remove mud promptly after outdoor use.
- Use mild detergent where washing is permitted.
- Avoid bleach and strong stain removers.
- Avoid prolonged high-temperature drying.
- Store only when fully dry.
Summer Wear
Cooling & Lightweight Fabrics
Lightweight summer garments should remain clean and breathable without being stretched or exposed to unnecessary heat.
- Wash gently after heavy outdoor use.
- Avoid rough scrubbing.
- Do not wring aggressively.
- Allow good airflow during drying.
- Store clean and dry between seasons.
Cold Weather
Padded & Insulated Coats
Insulated dog clothing requires extra care because excessive compression or incorrect drying can affect loft and warmth.
- Follow the sewn-in care label carefully.
- Avoid storing while damp.
- Do not compress for long periods.
- Redistribute insulation gently after drying if needed.
- Store in a dry, ventilated place.
Daily Wear
Soft Everyday Clothing
T-shirts, light layers and casual pet clothing can usually be maintained with regular gentle cleaning and careful drying.
- Turn delicate garments inside out when helpful.
- Wash with similar materials.
- Avoid unnecessary high heat.
- Reshape while drying if needed.
- Check stretch areas and seams periodically.
Recommended
Care Do's

Avoid
Care Don'ts

- Do not iron waterproof coatings or reflective details unless permitted.
- Do not store muddy or wet clothing for extended periods.
- Do not aggressively wring lightweight technical fabrics.
- Do not allow hook-and-loop closures to attach to delicate fabric during washing.
- Do not continue using damaged garments that could restrict movement or snag.
After-Walk Care by Season
Quick care after each walk can reduce the need for frequent deep washing and help maintain garment performance.
Rainy Days Wipe away surface water and mud, then hang the garment in a ventilated area until fully dry.
Snow & Winter Remove snow, salt and wet debris after use. Ensure insulated clothing dries completely before storage.
Hot Weather Rinse or wash cooling garments when they become dirty or salty from outdoor activity, then dry naturally.
Muddy Trails Let heavy mud loosen or dry before brushing it away, then clean the remaining dirt according to the garment instructions.
Storage & Long-Term Care
Store Clean
Dirt, oils and moisture left on clothing for long periods can lead to odor, staining or fabric deterioration.
Avoid Damp Areas
Keep dog clothing in a dry, ventilated location away from prolonged moisture.
Limit Compression
Padded and insulated garments are best stored without heavy long-term compression.
Protect Fasteners
Close hook-and-loop sections before storage so they do not snag nearby fabric.
Inspect Before Reuse
After seasonal storage, check seams, closures, elastic and leg openings before dressing your dog.
Keep Away From Chewing
Store pet clothing where dogs cannot chew fasteners, straps, zippers or fabric.
Pet Safety Comes First
Product care is only one part of safe use. Check the fit of your dog's clothing regularly and remove the garment if it becomes damaged, excessively tight, wet, tangled or uncomfortable.
Do not continue using clothing with loose pieces, broken fasteners or damaged areas that could catch on objects or interfere with normal movement.
