The new standards will include details of regulations pertaining to the appearance and size for the clothes of pet dogs. For instance, the back length’s deviation must be less than 2.50 cm and the material used must abide by Chinese national standards.
Measures are also taken to ensure that the apparels fit comfortably to the dogs. Regulations are also imposed on procedures of sewing, ironing and other aspects involved in tailoring pet dog clothes.
Government is asking manufacturers to clearly indicate trademarks, size symbol, content and wash specification.
