Mozzie Pants, Dog Pants, are designed with you and your pet in mind. High quality construction and materials offer long lasting comfortable design for the lifetime of your pet. Leg Length: Special design allows you to trim the leg length with scissors, without garment fraying or coming apart. We suggest you cut the garment legs a few inches above the paw if needed. If you do not need leg coverage, you can cut the legs to be short sleeves. You can also roll the sleeves up and sew in a few places to secure in case you need leg coverage down the road. Securing pants for some pups: Pull the pants all the way up the body towards front legs. Based on your pups body type, coat and activity level here are some tips for securing the pants if required: -Add a Mozzie Pants T-shirt, tuck the shirt into the pants. This will give the garment more stability, especially for slick smooth coats. -If your pup is really active, has a narrow backend or a tail that tends to go between their legs, you can connect the pants to a harness. Using elastic, velcro or Dritz Ironing Board Cover Fastners. Or use elastic to make suspenders for your pup. Sewing snaps onto the pants and attaching to a T-shirt will create a custom onesies for your pup! We suggest using Dritz - brass sew-on snaps size 10. Sew the male part of the snap onto the elastic waist band of the pants and the female part onto the shirt at the appropriate position for your pup. Two snaps on back and one between their legs.
