These id capes are an excellent way to allow others to quickly and easily identify your dog as a service dog or member of your club or organization.
If your dog is trained to heal on your left side, you'll probably want the embroidery on the left side of the garment. You may also want additional embroidery on the back and right side of the garment, depending on the service your dog provides, the manner in which he/she works or your personal preferance. Many of our customers like to have their organization name on the left and right side of the cape, with their dog's name across the back.
If you have a logo for your organization, we will be happy to work with you to create (or use a pre-digitized design) to embroidery on your id capes. An additional fee may apply for custom logo design. Please contact us for details.
For the extra large vest, we do not sew through the pockets when you request left or right side placement, if your design is 3" or less. Unfortunately, on all other sizes, it is not possible to get inside the pockets with the embroidery machine, so we have to sew through them, rendering them useless. If we use a center back embroidery location, both pockets will work fine! Please keep this in mind when choosing the number of pockets when ordering vests that are smaller than XL.
Additionally, if you'd like to preserve the functinality of the pockets on smaller sizes, you can opt to have us professionally adhere the patches using a thermal adhesive and commercial press. This process works much better than a home iron, and we've never had a complaint about the patches coming off or peeling up after a period of time. However, excessive washing or wringing could cause damage to the patch, and we believe this might also damage the adhesive. We recommend hand washing in mild dish detergent and allowing your vest to dry flat or line dry. DO NOT dry in a clothes dryer if your patches have been professionally adhered.

Please note: These vests are VERY light weight, so we will ship these via US Priority Mail unless you specify expedited shipping when you check out. We've found that it is MUCH less expensive to ship these items this way. Please disregard the "shipping" charge if you are using standard ground shipping when you check out. You will only be billed the current Priority Mail fee to ship your items, with a little extra to cover packaging costs. (As a rule, we round shipping costs up to the next even dollar.) For international shipping costs, please Contact Us , as the price reflected for shipping on our shopping cart is WAAAAY too high, and there is no way that we can adjust it in our website tool.
