I. Hole size of mesh structure: scientific analysis and impact
1. Physical properties of mesh fabric
No Pull Mesh Dog Costume Harness Dress Mesh fabric is a textile material that forms mesh holes by interweaving warp and weft threads. Its breathability, elasticity and durability depend on the size, density and weaving process of the holes. For dog clothing, the hole size of the mesh structure directly affects the heat dissipation efficiency, comfort and protection of the dog's hair.
Small hole mesh (aperture <1mm): This type of mesh fabric has a high density and small holes, which can effectively block dust, mosquitoes and small debris, and is suitable for dogs with short hair or sensitive skin. However, too small holes may lead to insufficient breathability, especially in high temperature environments, which can easily cause the dog's skin to be stuffy and humid, and even induce skin diseases.
Medium hole mesh (aperture 1-3mm): Medium hole mesh is the most common type on the market, taking into account both breathability and protection. The size of the holes can ensure air circulation, reduce the feeling of stuffiness, and prevent the hair from being hooked or pulled. Studies have shown that mesh fabrics with a hole diameter of about 2mm can balance heat dissipation and safety, and are suitable for daily wear for most dogs.
Large hole mesh (hole diameter > 3mm): Large hole mesh has excellent breathability and is suitable for dogs in high temperature environments or with a lot of exercise. However, holes that are too large may cause the dog's hair to be hooked (such as branches, fences), and even cause skin abrasions. In addition, large hole mesh has poor elasticity, and long-term wear may cause the dog's skin to become red due to friction.
2. The effect of hole size on dog hair
Dogs have a variety of hair types, from short-haired Chihuahuas to long-haired Afghan hounds. Dogs with different hair have different adaptability to mesh hole sizes.
Short-haired dogs: Short-haired dogs have a larger area of directly exposed skin. Too large mesh holes will increase the risk of skin friction. It is recommended to choose mesh fabrics with small or medium holes.
Long-haired dogs: The hair of long-haired dogs is easy to get tangled. If the mesh holes are too small, the hair may get stuck, causing discomfort or even hair loss. Medium or slightly larger holes can reduce the problem of hair tangling, but the edges of the holes should be avoided to prevent scratching the skin.
3. The impact of hole size on dog skin health
Dogs' skin is thinner and more sensitive than humans. The size of the holes in the mesh fabric directly affects the comfort of the skin contact surface.
Insufficient breathability: Small-hole meshes can easily cause the skin to get stuffy at high temperatures, causing problems such as eczema and dermatitis.
Friction and allergies: If the edges of the holes are not handled properly (such as burrs and hard edges), they may rub the dog's skin, causing redness, swelling or allergies.
Bacterial growth: If the mesh holes are too large, sweat and dirt are easy to remain, increasing the risk of bacterial growth. Therefore, the mesh fabric needs to be cleaned regularly and the holes should be kept unobstructed.
2. Use scenarios of dog overalls: demand and adaptation
1. Daily walks and home wear
Daily walks and home scenes are the main use scenarios of dog overalls. In such scenes, dogs have moderate activity and require higher comfort and breathability of clothing.
Recommended mesh type: medium-hole mesh fabric, which can ensure breathability and avoid hair entanglement.
Design points: The shoulder straps and abdominal fixing straps of the overalls need to adopt a tension-free design to reduce the pressure on the dog's joints; at the same time, the length of the skirt should be moderate to avoid tripping or dirt due to excessive length.
2. Outdoor activities and sports scenes
When hiking, running or playing outdoors, the dog's body temperature is easy to rise, which puts higher requirements on the heat dissipation of clothing.
Recommended mesh type: large-hole mesh fabric, combined with quick-drying material, can quickly expel sweat and keep the skin dry.
Design points: The overalls need to add reflective strips or bright colors to improve nighttime safety; in addition, the adjustable chest and waist circumference design can adapt to the range of motion of the dog during exercise.
3. Special occasions and festival dress-up
During special occasions such as festivals and pet gatherings, the fashion of dog overalls has become the focus of the owner's attention.
Recommended mesh type: small or medium hole mesh, with decorative elements such as embroidery and printing, taking into account both beauty and comfort.
Design points: Avoid using too many hard decorations (such as sequins and metal buckles) to prevent dogs from chewing or swallowing them by mistake; at the same time, choose easy-to-clean fabrics to deal with possible stains.
4. Season and climate adaptation
The mesh requirements for dog overalls vary significantly in different seasons.
Summer: Prefer large hole mesh, with a thin and breathable lining (such as cotton) to improve heat dissipation efficiency.
Winter: Mesh
