The Sports Vest has been the best vest I’ve ever used. All the other “vests” out there only cover the belly and some of the sides of the dog. The Sports Vest provides all around protection on the dog, especially the shoulders area! All the other vests out there don’t cover the areas of the dog that are prone to injury as they run through the cover in the field. It has saved me LOTS of $$ in vet bills and most importantly, less injuries to my best hunting friend!
Superior Product and Customer Service
The K9 top coat for my hunting dogs are the best on the market. I have experimented with others and they do not hold up. The extra fit down the dogs front shoulder helps shield with stickers and barbed wire fences. They are worth every penny!!
Real protection!
I’ve been using this product for many years on my Field Bred English Cocker. Best protection out there. You can tell by looking at the scrapes and tears. An added benefit is the orange helps visibility of the dog. I wouldn’t be without one.
Sturdy, good fit
Material is thick and sturdy, fit allows for arm mobility and stops short of our dog’s boy parts to allow for comfort and calls of nature. At first, we were afraid it would be too snug compared to other skid plates we’ve bought for hunting brush, but this is a really good fit around the torso. Can’t wait to hit the local WMA for a hunt to see if we can get away with a minimum of stickers in the arm pits and on the legs.
Amazing product!
My white bull terrier girl had such an issue when we went to the woods and coming back home covered all over with scratches! This vest saved all the trouble. Vest is nice and stretchable. Light but sturdy and protective at the same time. Excellent choice of material!

Best all around vest. Protection, warmth and visibility. Improvements that I see in the new design should only enhance this experience. My older pup loves to sleep in it as well. He will keep it on for the entire Winter if I let him! One of my pups fell through ice one time, shook it off like it was nothing, little to no retained water in this vest.

I Just ordered my second vest. I don’t even remember how long ago I bought the original. My Vizsla, “Lu” wore it hunting as the weather got too cold for her. She wore it so long the zipper failed after many years so I made holes in the top along the zipper and used a cord to weave it like a corset on her. Eventually it ripped out in several spots, I repaired it. Finally she became sick and I had to put her to rest forever. She wore the vest on her final hunt and I took her to her grave with it. She was a champion. I miss her and I was always grateful for the vest and I know she did. The arm sleeves are what really sold me on the product. She NEVER chaffed in her armpits from the vest and it kept her warm too!
Thanks
From a very satisfied Customer
