Learn how to size and care for the Blue Paw Print Waterproof Jacket so it stays dry, comfortable, and ready for every grooming session.
Quick answer
Choose your usual size for a close fit, or size up if you layer underneath, and always wash the jacket cold on a gentle cycle, then hang it to dry. These two habits protect the waterproof panels and keep the Blue Paw Print Jacket ready for your next groom.
Why sizing up is sometimes the smarter choice
The Blue Paw Print Waterproof Jacket is true to size, but grooming involves a lot of reaching, bending, and lifting. If you plan to wear a fleece or apron underneath, or if you simply prefer extra room for movement, go up one size. The adjustable belt lets you cinch the waist so the jacket still stays put without feeling tight across the shoulders.
What the waterproof panels can and cannot handle
The front panels are waterproof and lined with mesh, while the back is solid black polyester. That combination keeps splashes and spray off your front without making the whole jacket heavy. But it is not a fully sealed rain suit, so avoid prolonged soaking or heavy downpours. For bath time, the waterproof front is a real asset; for a wet walk home, bring an umbrella.
Small care habits that extend jacket life
The zipper cover lapel and pocket lapel covers protect the zipper and your belongings, but they also trap hair and grime. Wipe them down after especially hairy grooms. And always close the zipper and fasten the belt before washing to prevent snags. These small steps take seconds and keep the jacket looking professional longer.
Step-by-step sizing and care routine
- Measure before you choose: Use a soft tape to measure your chest and waist, then compare to the size chart. If you are between sizes, size up for layering room. Common mistake: guessing based on your usual clothing size without checking the chart. Write down your measurements so reordering is easy.
- Try it on with your work layers: Put the jacket on over the clothes you normally groom in, including any apron or fleece. Raise your arms and bend forward to test mobility. Adjust the belt to find a comfortable waist fit. Common mistake: trying it on over a thin t-shirt and finding it too tight later. If it binds at the shoulders, exchange for one size up.
- Pre-treat visible stains: Before washing, spot-clean mud, drool, or product residue with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Pay attention to the zipper cover and pocket flaps where grime collects. Common mistake: rubbing harshly, which can damage the waterproof coating. A quick pre-treat means the machine cycle does not have to work as hard.
- Wash cold and separately: Close the zipper and fasten the belt. Place the jacket alone in the machine, or use a laundry bag if washing with other items. Select a cold-water gentle cycle with mild detergent. Common mistake: using hot water or fabric softener, which can degrade the waterproof finish. Never use bleach or fabric softener.
- Hang to dry: Remove the jacket promptly and hang it on a wide plastic hanger to air dry. Do not tumble dry, and keep it out of direct sunlight. Common mistake: leaving it crumpled in the machine, which can create stubborn creases. Hang it where air circulates freely for fastest drying.
