However, it is not recommended that the vest is stored in a plastic bag for longer than a day once wet as it may start to smell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen using the coat if it starts drying out, simply re-wet it to maintain the cooling effect. If required, the cooling coat can be machine washed at 30 degrees. Wash separately as there may be colour run. Do not use conditioners or softeners and do not tumble dry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p4\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Freckles Designs","offers":[{"title":"Length (A) between: 25 - 39cm","offer_id":56999884489077,"sku":null,"price":42.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Length (A) between: 40 - 47cm","offer_id":56999884521845,"sku":null,"price":46.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Length (A) between: 48 - 53cm","offer_id":56999884554613,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Length (A) between: 54 - 59cm","offer_id":56999884587381,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Length (A) between: 60 - 69cm","offer_id":56999884620149,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Length (A) between: 70 - 84cm","offer_id":56999884652917,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Length (A) between: 85 - 100cm","offer_id":56999884685685,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Length (A) between: 101cm and above","offer_id":56999884718453,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/1133\/files\/dog-cool-coat-blue.jpg?v=1774544816","url":"https:\/\/www.freckles-designs.co.uk\/products\/cuillin-dog-cooling-coat-custom-size-marine-blue","provider":"Freckles Designs ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
