Description
The Make It Green Dog Cowl is beginner-friendly and an excellent light layer for cooler temperatures. Its construction makes it easy to put on your dog and is highly adaptable to fit all shapes and sizes.

Important Note: The Make It Green Dog Cowl is best worn with a back-clip dog harness. This type of harness will ensure the cowl stays in place and does not slide around your dog’s neck.
