Has anyone had the opportunity to wash their Webmaster harness ?  I am pretty sure that Otis' will fit Tess, with just some adjustments to the straps.   (A good idea since she has already had cruciate repair on one knee - wish we had known about it then.   She will not walk or pee with a sling).   It isn't horribly dirty, but feel that I should wash it before putting it on her.   (She was horribly uncomfortable with my bedding last night, and I am washing all of that - I think because Otis spent a lot of his last 24 hours there, likely some not great smells from a dog's perspective).   That way, she can feel like it is new and hers.   Would love recommendations on how to do it.

Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016.  Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016.  Lung mets August 25, 2016.  Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016.   Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.  

Wherever they are, they are together.

I washed Obie's once, after I had used it on Tani and she got a little pee on it.

The web site says to wash by hand. 

I used tape to get off most of the fur.  I filled a sink with cold water and used a soft brush and dish soap (I think it was dish soap).  It took awhile to get it rinsed if I remember, but then I always tend to use too much soap.  I hung it outside to dry. 

BTW- I got Obie his to get through his two knee surgery recoveries- worked great!
