MPS-HEAD COVER® DOG
We know how important it is to be able to quickly dress and undress your dog, which is why our MPS-Head Cover® is made of soft and high-quality material. It is important however to keep monitoring your dog if the snug fit isn’t too tight. Getting the Head Cover on and off your dog is simple, so let’s take a look!
- Step 1: Optional pads: For extra soft protection for the ears and/or head when needed, you can first insert the MPS-Head Cover Pads® in the MPS-Head Cover®. Open the pocket, take a pad and place the pad’s Velcro® on the Velcro® in the pocket of the Head Cover®;
- Step 2: Head closing strap: place the Head Cover® on the dog’s head and close it by fastening the Velcro straps and popper (snap) button (use at least two rows of popper buttons);
- Step 3: Neck closing strap: close it by fastening the Velcro® straps and popper (snap) buttons (use at least two rows of popper buttons);
- Step 4: Optional neck length: if needed, you can adjust the neck length for a better fit by adjusting the Velcro® strap on the back of the neck. Make sure that you first close the head closing strap and then the neck closing strap and make sure to not overtighten the straps of the MPS-Head Cover®, which can lead to breathing and circulation restriction.
This easy to put on and off MPS-Head Cover is specially designed on the anatomy of dogs and can therefore only be used for dogs. Internal flexible ribs support the MPS-Head Cover® to protect bandages or wounds and prevent sagging. The MPS-Head Cover® is easy to put on and has a perfect fit due to the adjustable head circumference, neck circumference and neck length. Important: do not overtighten the straps as this could lead to breathing and circulation restriction.
To secure the MPS-Head Cover® it is recommended to use at least two rows of popper (snap) buttons for the two closing straps.
Important: make sure to take out the internal flexible ribs from the MPS-Head Cover® and to fasten the straps and popper (snap) buttons before you start washing.
An adjustable Velcro® closure and popper (snap) buttons provide additional strength. If your dog needs extra soft protection, you can add the MPS-Head Cover Pads® to the MPS-Head Cover® (sold separately).
