born2hunt81 6 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Hi just want to know if any one uses dog chest protection vests an what you think of them thinking of getting my cocker one. Quote Link to post
glenng 15 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) i bought two for my sprockers as they were being torn to bits on brambles. jack pyke and dokken. the dokken one is just neoprene and a really good fit but with very little extra protection on the chest area. the jack pyke one has lots of protection but looks like a flak jacket from an afgan battlefield and the plastic zip broke after 1 days beating. they do work and save a lot of damage to the dogs chest area,but you will get a lot of "helpful" advice from people about why they should not be used. my way of thinking was the dogs welfare comes first. hope this helps.

ErnieOnLI 2 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Vest are very popular in the US for wild pig hunts. Those dogs are often injured before the hunter catches up to pig. They often use collars as well. Not sure they'd be necessary for your needs but they're affordable. i have no experience using vest for my dog but did a quick search and found a shop selling them at reasonable prices. Perhaps this is what you're looking for. Although i'm sure you'll have companies closer to home which offer similar products. Here's a link to a vest seller in the US. http://deepsouthhogdogsupply.com/id33.html Quote Link to post
