How are the sheepskins processed?

Texelana medicinally tanned pelts are gently cleaned according to the strictest EU standards and are ecologically tanned. This preserves the active emollient lanolin (wool fat) and the soft texture of the wool. It also retains a slight natural scent. No chemical dyes are used for these pelts. The medicinal tanning process also provides better protection against mold growth.
The coat is clipped back to approximately 3 cm, which ensures good pressure distribution. This also ensures that the coat is less likely to tangle and can be brushed out easily. Medically tanned coats are not dyed or bleached. The yellowish color of the coat comes from the tanning process.

Pleasant lighting

The dense coat of these dogs helps retain body heat, which can help alleviate muscle pain.
Medicinally tanned sheepskin can help slow the development of pressure sores. The soft, moisture-regulating, and warming medicinal sheepskin is also a solution for other discomforts caused by prolonged lying or sitting.

Gently washable at 30°C by hand with wool detergent. We recommendTexelana Wool Detergentto use.

Washing instructions

Medicinal coats are washable (to a limited extent), we advise only washing the coat when strictly necessary!

The product does not need to be washed before use. Moreover, wool cleans itself. Simply hanging it out in the morning dew is a blessing for the wool. Washing the fleece can remove the lanolin and harden the leather. If you do want to wash the fleece, follow the washing instructions below (this does not guarantee results):

• Hand wash at 30°C with Texelana® wool detergent (contains lanolin);
• After washing, rinse thoroughly with clean water;
• Add a generous splash of natural vinegar to the final rinse. Let the leather sit in this for 10-15 minutes (this prevents the leather from hardening).
• Let the coat dry at room temperature with the furry side down, for example on a drying rack. Never in the dryer, and do not place it on or near a radiator or in direct sunlight.
• During the drying process, regularly shape the leather to keep it supple and prevent it from curling up;
• After drying, comb the coat with a stiff brush to keep the sheepskin beautiful and wonderfully soft;
• After washing, the leather may become less supple and the hair may become stiffer. This is normal. Washing the fur is at your own risk.
