Medical Alert Butterfly

The perfect blend of simplicity and elegance, design includes the important basics. 

While this design is available in other vest shapes, it is important to note that the side panels would not be symmetrical like they are on the butterfly shape. 

It is unethical and, in many places, a crime, to impersonate a service animal. These vests are intended for use in full compliance with your local service animal laws. 

Classic fabric: This is the vest that got us started! We live in the desert and needed something that would still be comfortable for our dog to wear in the summer. The cotton material is lightweight and breathable. It is dirt resistant and easy to clean. 

Water-resistant fabric:  If the canvas and marine vinyl had a baby, this would be it! This fabric is rated as being both breathable and waterproof, but since embroidery punctures the fabric, we are listing it as being water resistant.  The material is easy to spot clean and is fade resistant.

How this works:

1. Choose which style vest you want.

2. Select which upgrades you want added. (In order to save on shipping, it is best to purchase everything at the same time)

3. I will send you a proof to review. Work on your vest cannot begin until you have approved the design. Once approved, changes cannot be made.

4. The clock starts on the production of your vest!

Size Specific Limitations:

X-Small: This size is not available in the butterfly vest shape and does not have an option for pockets. Some graphic designs are not available in this size due to stitch density issues. 

X-Large: Due to the size limitations of the machine, if you purchase an X-Large, most styles will have seam lines between the panels. The width of the panel might be slightly narrower in some cases. If you have any questions regarding the correct size, please contact me prior to ordering.

Note about the colors: The fabric used for these vest a heavy duty textured fabric known for it's durability. Because of the texture, it is incredibly difficult to photograph for color samples because the overall color is a combination of the colors from the highlights and lowlights of where the light hits the fabric. 

When I provide you with a proof, I try to get as close to the color as I can, but the software that generates the proof image uses different color settings than Photoshop so it is not always an exact match. Additionally, colors can vary slightly from bolt to bolt. The thread is shiny and can result in different hue where the light hits it. Color calibrations on electronic devices vary from screen to screen as well. All of this makes recreating the color you'll see in your home a little challenging. 

If you are looking for a specific color, please contact me and I can provide additional images. I will do my best to get as close of a match as I can for what you need, but I cannot guarantee an exact shade due to the variables mentioned.

Note about the straps: While I make every efforts to make these as secure as possible (they are stitched the vest at 2-3 connection points), there is a lot of research that must be done regarding the strength of the fabric, straps, thread, and even the type of stitching in order to have a specific weight tolerance listed for what you could reasonably expect before the strap, stitching, or fabric would tear due to being pulled. Because I have not done this research, these vests are not being sold with the intent to restrain your animal. 

Cancellations: If for any reason you need to cancel your order prior to design work beginning, just let me know. If design work has already begun then I can usually offer a full refunds less the design fee, provided I am notified in a reasonable time frame. Generally speaking, the only time that no portion of cancellation is available is when stitching has begun, but this after you have approved the proof for the design. I realize that we all have extenuating circumstances and things changes for us quickly. I try to be as accommodating as possible. Please reach out if you feel like you need to change your order. 

Long term cancellations: In most cases a refund of 50% will be offered if the cancellation takes place after 30 days. The retained portion can be applied toward a future purchase.
