Sure, your dog will look super stylish in these FIR-Fleece dog coats and rugs, but we promise you that the therapeutic value extends far beyond just being fashionable. These Vet Therapy coats feature the FIR-Fleece technology, in which ceramic infused fabric allows your dog’s heat to be reflected back to them. This helps to increase circulation, which helps to decrease muscle pains, aches, swelling and lactic acid build up. The coat can be worn during warming up your dog, in between training/working, and after training sessions. Best of all, their sleek design allow for normal movement for your dog.The coats can either be purchased without a hood (coat version) or with a hood (rug version). The drawstring hood on the rug version provides extra cover for your dog’s neck and shoulders.
