  <brief-description>Perfect Year Round Dog Coat or Under-layer</brief-description>
  <created-at type="datetime">2009-03-19T22:58:03Z</created-at>
  <description>&lt;h2&gt;Keep your dog warm in a Merino wool coat and leave a lighter 'pawprint' on the planet!&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Made from 100% natural, New Zealand merino wool, the Pawrino Dog Coat provides warmth yet is breathable at the same time. &amp;nbsp;Add to this the fact that Merino wool is&amp;nbsp;also a renewable resource, is recyclable and is bio-degradable and you'll agree the Pawrino Coat is a great choice!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Merino is ... Warm &amp;amp; Breathable&lt;/span&gt;: &amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unlike synthetics, Merino wool fibres breathe and create their own micro-climates around the body buffering it from changing conditions. &amp;nbsp;The fibres are unique in that they lock together to hold in warmth, yet expand when its warm keeping your dog from over-heating. &amp;nbsp;This means the Pawrino dog coat is great when exercising outdoors or for those cooler nights when your dog would like to cuddle in some warmth!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Merino .... Makes a Great Year-Round Coat or Under-layer&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because the Merino wool fibre breathes it means there is no unpleasant 'clammy' sensation and the dog coats can be worn in warm or cool weather.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Merino is .... Durable &amp;amp; Non-Itchy&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unlike traditional wool, Merino is lightweight and a low irritant - meaning it won't 'itch' your dog. Merino wool is also resilient with the longer length of the individual fibre's adds a measure of durability to the product. &amp;nbsp;It's natural elasticity makes it strong and helps the coat hold its shape well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Merino is ... Breathable &amp;amp; Won't Hold 'Doggy Smell'&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Merino wool has natural odour suppressing qualities resisting the build up of odour so it will not hold a 'doggy' smell. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Merino is ... Warm in Damp Conditions:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although not water resistant, the Merino wool dog coat works great in damp weather. &amp;nbsp;Merino wool is a hydroscopic fibre which means it is capable of absorbing moisture vapour from the environment while at the same time repelling liquids. This is unique to Merino wool - it means it can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture before it starts to feel damp.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Merino is ... Machine Washable:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is machine washable - on a warm/cool, gentle cycle with a wool wash detergent. &amp;nbsp;But it is important not to tumble dry or dry clean - otherwise it will shrink up small like your own wool sweater would! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That said the coat does not need washing too often - it resists the build up of odour and its natural water repellant surface allows time for spills to be wiped away before they can cause permanent staining.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
