Wraps are in 24/7 You can see Razzman if you go to my profile and the video posted there, swimming and retreiving in wraps. they do not interfere with his movement, as long as you wrap to clear movement through the joints; eg: above the knee and below the knee without wrapping across the knee.
As Mary said they are changed/inspected daily and dogs can be washed twice a week, dependent on the activity level of the dog.
I do remember one day, just washing, blowdrying, rewrapping Razzle, and my Hubby came home and decided to take the scamp for a walk, well we had had rain that day, they came home happily splattered with mud, had a grand ole time. I almost cried. Back to the bathtub we did go. He said but honey that is why you wrap him, so he can play and fetch and have fun. Well yes of course, but not in the MUD! Of course these were the early days, now hubby knows better
