Safety and Care Information – Vests & Bags

Training vests/bags are intended for carrying dog training dummies, balls, game and related equipment.
It is not protective clothing, personal protective equipment (PPE) or a life jacket.
Do not use the vest or bag for lifting, securing or dragging people or animals and do not use it for climbing or safety-critical purposes.
Do not overload the vest or bag; distribute weight evenly to avoid discomfort or damage.
Adjust straps and closures for a secure and comfortable fit that does not restrict movement, breathing or circulation.
Keep loose straps, cords and plastic or metal parts away from your dog’s mouth and from moving machinery to avoid entanglement or chewing.
Regularly check the fabric, seams, zippers, buckles and other parts for signs of wear or damage.
Stop using the product and replace it if it is damaged (torn fabric, broken closures, loose or missing parts).
Not a toy for children.

Use only for its intended purpose – as a vest or bag for dog training, field work and transporting training gear.
Do not store sharp, very hot or corrosive objects inside the vest or bag.
Remove wet, muddy or heavily soiled items from the pockets as soon as possible after use.
Do not modify the product (e.g. cutting off structural parts, replacing buckles with non-original components), as this may reduce safety and durability.

Empty all pockets and compartments after each use and shake out dirt, sand and plant material.
Gently brush or wipe the outside and inside with a soft brush or cloth; do not scrub aggressively.
Do not use bleach, fabric softeners or aggressive cleaners.
Do not tumble dry; air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated place away from direct heat sources.
Do not iron.
For vests and bags made from polyester and cotton fabric - Hand wash only. Do not machine wash. For cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild detergent.
For vests and bags made from waxed cotton - Do not machine wash, hand wash, dry clean or tumble dry. Brush off dried dirt and mud with a soft brush. If needed, wipe the surface gently with cold water and a sponge only, without detergent or soap. Re-wax the outer fabric periodically with a suitable wax dressing to maintain water repellency and protection. Over time you may notice lighter, dry-looking areas on high-wear zones (pockets, seams, front panels). This is a sign that the wax coating is wearing off and these are the areas you should focus on first when rewaxing.

Store the vest or bag in a dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
If the product becomes wet, allow it to dry completely before storing.
Avoid long-term contact with oils, solvents, chemicals and sharp objects during storage.
Keep out of reach of children when not in use.

Where available, textile parts (nylon/polyester fabric and webbing) can be taken to textile recycling or disposed of in residual waste if no textile collection exists.
If possible, separate plastic buckles and clips and place them in the plastic recycling stream, and metal parts in metal recycling, if such options are provided locally.
