HOW TO PUT ON?

HOW TO PUT THE MPS-HEAD COVER® ON THE 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 Velcro on the Velcro in the pocket;

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 (snap) buttons);

Step 3: Neck closing strap: close it by fastening the Velcro® straps and popper (snap) buttons (use at least two rows of popper (snap) buttons);

Step 4: Optional neck length: you can adjust the neck length for a better fit if needed 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.

THE USER MANUAL

HOW TO USE THE MPS-HEAD COVER CORRECTLY!

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 extra strength. If your dog needs extra soft protection, you can add the MPS-Head Cover Pads® to the MPS-Head Cover® (sold separately).

FEATURES OF THE MPS-HEAD COVER

FEATURES OF THE MPS-HEAD COVER

Adjustable fastening straps

The Head Cover® is fully closed by way of adjustable fastening straps with Velcro and a row of snaps. The snaps ensure that the Head Cover® fits as snugly as possible. Moreover, it reduces the risk of bleeding in the ear caused by the dog shaking its head. There are two adjustable fastenings: the adjustable strap under the chin and the adjustable strap around the neck for a perfect fit. To secure the Head Cover® properly, it is important to use at least two rows of snaps with the two fastening straps.

Please note: do not secure the Head Cover® too tightly as this can result in breathing problems and blood circulation problems;

Special pockets for the Head Cover Pads

The Head Cover® comes with two specially designed pockets on the inside near the ears. These bags hold the Head Cover Pads (available separately) for extra soft protection. A dog’s ears can also be inserted into these bags to prevent wound discharge and ointments from sticking to the dog’s fur. The Head Cover Pads can be placed in either one or both bags to protect one or both ears, respectively.

Should it be necessary to cool one or both ears (after seeking advice from your vet), these bags can also be used to hold cooling pads.

Elastic cord & light-blue inner layer

The Head Cover® comes with an elastic cord. This cord ensures that the front of the Head Cover® closes around the dog’s head as much as possible, protecting any wounds, bandages and the skin of the ears and/or head should the dog have skin problems, such as an othematoma (bleeding ear).

Flexible supporting ribs

These internal flexible plastic ribs prevent sagging as much as possible and support the Head Cover® in protecting wounds and/or bandages. Remove these ribs from the Head Cover® when washing.

Adjustable skull length

A Velcro strip can be found at the back of the Head Cover® for shortening the skull length for a tighter fit, if necessary.

Please note: do not secure the Head Cover® too tightly as this can result in breathing problems and blood circulation problems;

Material specification

The Head Cover® is made from high-quality cotton, Invista Lycra four-away stretch and a denim blue material on the outside. The breathing double-layered composition ensures the Head Cover stays well secure and can be easily observed. The two bags on the inside have a Velcro strip for attaching the Head Cover Pads. The Head Cover® therefore offers maximum freedom of movement and causes less stress in comparison to the collar. The Head Cover® is washable at 40 degrees Celsius.

The exterior of the Head Cover Pads is made from soft cotton with Lycra four-way stretch. The interior of the Head Cover Pads feature soft foam (polyurethane) and a small Velcro strip for fastening inside the Head Cover bags. The Head Cover Pads are washable at 30 degrees Celsius.
