A RITUAL OF CARE - How to care for your cashmere pet sweater-

Cashmere is a naturally luxurious fiber—soft, breathable, and made to last when properly cared for.
With a few simple steps, your pet’s sweater will remain as beautiful as the day you received it.

Washing

Cashmere does not require frequent washing. Often, simply airing the garment is enough.

When needed:

  • Hand wash in cold or lukewarm water
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Do not rub or twist—let the water move through the fibers
  • Rinse with water at the same temperature
  • Avoid dry cleaning, which can be too harsh on natural fibers

Drying

  • Do not wring
  • Gently press out excess water using a clean towel
  • Lay flat to dry on a horizontal surface
  • Reshape while damp
  • Keep away from direct heat and sunlight
  • Do not use a dryer

This helps maintain the sweater’s softness and original fit.

Storing (Spring & Summer)

Before storing, ensure the sweater is clean.

  • Fold gently (avoid hanging)
  • Store in a breathable cotton bag or box
  • Keep in a cool, dry place

Each VeroAmore sweater comes with a natural cedar wood ring, designed to protect your garment during storage. Simply place it alongside the sweater to help keep it fresh and protected.

Before Wearing Again

At the start of the colder season, remove the sweater from storage and allow it to breathe naturally.
Light steaming (if needed) will help restore its shape.

A Note on Care

Caring for cashmere is simple—but intentional.
A small gesture that preserves not only the garment, but the experience of wearing it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I machine wash a cashmere pet sweater?
We recommend hand washing only. Even delicate machine cycles can stress the fibers and alter the shape over time.

Can I put it in the dryer?
No. Heat can damage cashmere fibers and cause shrinkage. Always dry flat, naturally.

Is dry cleaning recommended?
No. Traditional dry cleaning can be too aggressive for fine cashmere. Gentle hand washing is the best way to preserve its softness and integrity.

How often should I wash it?
Only when truly needed. Cashmere is naturally breathable and odor-resistant—often, airing is enough.

How do I store it during warmer months?
Fold (never hang) and store in a breathable bag or box, with the included cedar wood ring to help protect the garment naturally.

What if the sweater loses its shape?
After washing, gently reshape it while damp and lay flat to dry. This usually restores its original form.
