[NAGDU] Where to purchase Raincoats and booties was RE: Guide dog accessories

[Miranda]

Hi,
How does Musher's Secret work and how is it applied/removed? Considering that it is made of wax, I imagine this to be a rather messy process.
Anyone who can shed some light on this would be very much appreciated.
Thanks as always for your time and assistance, and have a wonderful week!

Best wishes, Miranda
