Chest Protectors for Dogs

[Dakotazeb]

I've used the Skid Plates on my labs for years with good results. When I see all the cuts and tears on the heavy nylon I think what they would look like if they were on unprotected dog chests instead. I wish they went farther up on the sides so that there was more orange.

PairOfLabs, I posted earlier on this thread about the Cabelas vests.

I've used these for years on my Brittanys. Never had a problem with any rubbing or chaffing. The orange comes up on the sides like you want. The Body Guard Dog vest by SylmarDogWear http://www.sylmardogwear.com/outdoors.htm#bg is very similar to the Cabelas. The Cabelas vest has a layer of 600 denier ripstop material plus a layer of heavy duty 900 denier material. The Slymar vest is 2 layers of 500 denier material. Both priced about the same. I think if you tried one of these vests you would be happy.

Thanks Zeb. I just sent the Sylmar folks a note to see if I could stop in to have Parker try one on for size.
