The item has been hand-washed before listing, so you can put it on your pet right away upon arrival. There may be some dog hair remaining that couldn't be completely removed with a lint roller. We are looking forward to your purchase if you understand that this is a used item. There are no tears. It's the type that ties at the back with a string. Please refer to the images for the size and how to wear it. As noted in the first photo, the fur on the part that touches the belly is matted. It does not directly touch the body. It's on the belly area, so it's not very noticeable, and I don't think it will bother you much. It's not the type that you put on by covering, so it was easy to put on even for a bedridden dog, as you can put it on while they are lying down. Please make use of it. #Petio #Petio #PetDog #SeniorDog #LargeDog #SeniorDogCare #SeniorDogBlanket
