FAQ & Fabric Care

Diaper/Bellyband Laundering: Wash diapers warm/hot with NO FABRIC SOFTENERS OR BLEACH! Softeners of ANY kind in the washer or dryer will clog up the internal wetness core and they won't be as absorbent.
Air dry for maximum absorbency or machine dry on medium. NO SOFTENERS. Close all Velcro firmly before laundering to preserve the grip. To clean lint out of Velcro, use a fine tooth comb, or safety pin and gently brush.

Bamboo lined Face Masks-hand wash warm, air dry for best wear. You can also STEAM CLEAN them with a hot iron or fabric steamer. Press as needed. Most have a double aluminum nose bridge sealed inside, do NOT bend it over and over again or it will eventually snap.

Washing instructions for all Polartec® fleece

~For best results, launder garment separately.

Organic cotton knits and flannels, wash cool and machine dry low. Iron warm.

FAQ:
Hi I'm interested in ordering xs belly bands for my old dog who is on Lasix. He currently wears xs from Amazon but he needs more and they don't hold up .
I always say, you get what you pay for! Those cheap made in China diapers are junk!
=======================
Do you have D rings on your hoodies or clothes to attach a leash? Unless it's specifically offered as a non- stretch walking harness or walking coat, we do not put D-rings on stretch fabrics as it's a safety hazard. I know other companies do but I am not willing to risk this for your dogs. I can put a button hole in the back or leave an opening at the neck seam if you'd like.
===============================
Seriously? I have to wait 3 weeks for my clothing order?
Yes, up to 3 weeks in high season (Sept-April)...but it will usually arrive before that. Diapers ship FAST!
I work alone and don't farm work out, which means every single item in my shop is made from scratch by my hands in the order it was received. 15 years in business has built quite a following and a lot of repeat business for which I am so grateful. We were the 2nd company offering IG specific clothing in 2008 and our feedback will attest to the quality.
======================================================
We ordered a Pooch Pad (diaper) on Amazon and it was way too stiff for our greyhound. It fit around his waist, but didn't cover him well because of how wide and stiff the product was. I could tell it was uncomfortable for him.
Do you think your product would work for a greyhound?

Yes, we make all size diapers and they are all VERY soft and comfortable, using the same fabrics and organic bamboo worn by human babies. Our diapers are wider than most and the innovative pouch feature with gentle elastic ensures full coverage. They have a built in wetness core and can also be worn with a pad inside.
=======================================================
Are your fabrics pre-washed?
Many of the flannels are pre-washed for nominal shrinkage. We conserve water here in the Arizona high desert by using our washing machine's output of grey-water to provide the cottonwood trees with seasonal irrigation so we are very careful to use only chemical-free and non-toxic laundry products in our home and yard.
====================================================
I am totally at my wits end with my daughter's chihuahua who now lives with me. He marks constantly. Right now I have him in bellyband by Mr. Wags but it requires a mini pad inside. At the rate of how many times Finn pees in that pad, I'll be broke! What would you recommend for him? He is under 5 lbs and wears xsmall right now. I need to be washing these not throwing them out.
Frustrating, isn't it? I would recommend a diapering system for him which is a waterproof bellyband and washable pads to start with. These absorbent, waterproof pads can be washed hundreds of times and are a great eco-friendly alternative to disposable pads.
===================================================
I really like that some of your fleece fabrics are made in the USA. Are they really from top name sports clothing manufacturers?
Yes! Polartec has been in our shop since the very beginning. A friend had sent me some to use way back in 2007 and I was HOOKED! Some of these fabrics are exclusive to Spoiled Bratzwear and they are gorgeous!
==================================================
I have a 5 month old Italian greyhound puppy and need something warm. What's the best style for a growing puppy?
My suggestion for growing pups are the cuddle vests/body warmers with NO sleeves because they have a very flexible fit and will grow with your pup. The romper style outfits with 4 sleeves really need to fit just right so they don't get tangled in the back legs. ANY of the fabrics you see in the shop can be made into ANY style, just ask me!
=================================================
I tried using a belly band from www.bellybands.net where my greyhound organization gets theirs from. My dog didn't seem to like the feeling of it where his legs meet his body, possibly irritating the skin there. I was wondering if one of your diapers might work better for him? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Our bellybands are made with gentle, narrow elastic unlike some bands that use thick elastic. The way we apply the elastic, it forms a pouch which seems to be more comfortable for most dogs and it does NOT chafe or pinch. We line our bands with a unique stay-dry diapering fleece which is very, very soft. It also wicks moisture away from the skin to prevent urine burn and has a stay-dry finish. These are the same fine fabrics use for washable human baby diapers.

I saw your K9 Sunwear on another website, do you wholesale to other companies?
That would be a firm NO. What you likely saw is a shameless copy. Several companies have pirated our ideas and pass them off as their own. We ONLY sell from our 2 websites and do not wholesale to other companies for resale, nor does anyone have permission to copy our ideas and designs. If you see our designs elsewhere, please report it to me. My lawyer would love to talk to them ;)
K9 Sunwear came about organically for my own IG who had skin cancer and needed protection from the AZ sun.
