Cheers Trouble with a vest on a hard working dog is it can lead to issues with them over heating , they are really best suited to dogs that are going to be sat around not doing much apart from the odd retrieve such as wildfowling.

teal27 Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 I had one for my previous dog, it was a neoprene flotation vest. Really helped in fast water tidal and for dogs safety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new to the flock Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Upland chest protectors work well for barbwire and puncturing sticks........I had two dogs impale themselves on sharp sticks hunting pheasants.......they are designed to cover the chest and under side of the ribs, well keeping the dogs cool. look here http://www.flushandpoint.com/products.asp?id=16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First proper injury in 8 years beating and very sorry for herself. Jacket wise it's been warm I'm not sure it wouldn't do more harm than good, injuries are fairly rare where I beat but they do happen.
