What if the medical shirt does not fit the dog?
To check if the medical shirt fits your dog, you may take it out of the packaging and hold it next to your pet. This way, you can verify if it fits. Due to hygiene reasons, you are not allowed to return the shirt if it has come into contact with your pet. If upon return, we find that the product is stained, worn, has hair on it, smells dirty, or has been washed, it will not be sent back to you. Instead, it will be donated to a local shelter for a good cause.
