Hurtta Cooling Coat Model 930969

1. Introduction

This manual provides instructions for the proper use and care of your Hurtta Cooling Coat, Model 930969. This product is designed to help keep your dog comfortable in warm conditions through evaporative cooling. It features an adjustable belt and collar for a secure fit, and includes Scotchlite reflectors for enhanced visibility.

2. Setup and First Use

1. Prepare the Coat: Before first use, and whenever the coat is dry, wet the entire coat thoroughly with cold water.
2. Wring Out Excess Water: Gently wring out any excess water from the coat. The coat should be damp, not dripping wet.
3. Fit the Coat: Place the coat on your dog's back. Adjust the belt around the chest and the collar around the neck to ensure a snug but comfortable fit. The adjustable straps allow for a customized fit for various dog sizes.

3. Operating Instructions

The Hurtta Cooling Coat works on the principle of evaporative cooling. As water evaporates from the coat's fabric, it draws heat away from your dog's body, providing a cooling effect.

• When to Use: Use the cooling coat during warm weather, for walks, training sessions, or any activity where your dog might overheat.
• Maintain Dampness: For continuous cooling, ensure the coat remains damp. If the coat starts to dry out, remove it, re-wet it with cold water, wring out the excess, and place it back on your dog.
• Supervision: Always supervise your dog while they are wearing the cooling coat.

4. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the lifespan and effectiveness of your Hurtta Cooling Coat.

• Washing: The coat can be hand washed or machine washed in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
• Drying: Air dry the coat. Do not tumble dry or iron.
• Storage: Store the coat in a clean, dry place when not in use. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.

5. Troubleshooting

Coat Dries Out Quickly:

In very hot or low-humidity environments, the coat may dry faster. Re-wet the coat more frequently to maintain its cooling effect.

Dog Does Not Seem Cooled:

Ensure the coat is thoroughly wet and properly fitted. Check that the coat is making good contact with your dog's body. In extremely high humidity, evaporative cooling may be less effective. Consider other cooling methods in such conditions.

Coat Appears Too Thick:

The material is designed for effective water retention and evaporation. Ensure it is not left on for extended periods if it feels warm to the touch, as it could trap heat if dry. Always ensure it is damp.
