I apologize that the images are unclear. I purchased this about two years ago from Higopet Friendly and used it for about a month on my Toy Poodle. I then washed it and stored it at home. I used it for about 10 days on my second dog, which I welcomed in November of this year, and then washed and stored it. If you are concerned, I recommend washing it before use. There are no noticeable stains or scratches, but there is some wear and tear. However, it is still in good condition and can be used, so I hope to pass it on to those who are practicing before their first walk or anyone else who doesn't mind. I will try to ship as soon as possible, but I plan to ship it on or after January 4th.
