This was the third vest we bought and this one was the keeper!

She really didn't like it at first when I put it on her, but she's gotten used to it, and it really does help protect her. And the bright orange color does help me keep track of her. I may have to get the one with legs though, because she still gets pretty scratched up on the fronts of her legs.

These vests are a great weight and breathable. My dogs were getting overheated when they worked in their old vests that did not allow air flow.

Got here quick. Very durable product that held up well in the grouse woods.

The vest is lightweight and my dog wears it well. I ordered a medium and the straps were too long so I cut them off and taped the new ends. The medium covers farther up on his sides. A small would not have worked as well. It's easy to put on. With all our stickers here in North TX this year, it has really cut down on my time to remove them. Works good.

I have just started to use the vest and it has protected their coat from collecting twigs ferns.

Good quality, the vest fit perfectly!

The vest is very durable. Which shows the quality of the workmanship put into it. The only problem I see with it is the buckles. My dogs work some really thick stuff to get at the birds. I have noticed them get hung up in the brush. Causing them to have to back up to unhook themselves. They are adjusting their hunting style to compensate for the vest. All in all the dogs end the day with a lot less cuts and scrapes. So it's worth the trade off.

This is my third one of these vests. I bought the first one 15 years ago for my first dog. I go on two weekend grouse hunting trips per year and the vest lasted the dog's whole life. I had to purchase a second one for my second dog 12 years ago because she was bigger. And this one is for my third dog because she was bigger still. I should try to get the right sized dog, because the original vest is a little ragged but still in good shape and would still protect the dog. I also like the vest because it is light weight and provides high visibility in the woods, protection from sticks and branches, and doesn't overheat the dog. Even when we go in January, this is the vest I use. The dog never seems cold while running through the woods all day. I recommend the vest.

Awesome, it keeps her from getting cut up! The best thing is, she loves wearing it!!!

Excellent product! It fits well and protects my dog from the under brush.

So far so good! No complaints.

Great item. Gives me some comfort in knowing my dog will be able to be clearly seen while hunting with my husband. The size ran just a tiny bit small where I would have liked the orange to have come up a bit more onto her back, but still fits and will do the job. Only other suggestion that I would have is that the straps should also be In orange and not black to the entire vest would stand out in the woods. But, I definitely would recommend this for any hunting dog that you love enough to keep as safe as possible.

Best vest I've owned for our dogs. It is sturdy, easy to put on and to adjust. The lesser quality ones in the past tend to rip on barbed wire. I like the chest and under belly protection. What I like best is the quality material used in this vest. Our dogs like to crawl under barbed wire fences and often the lesser vests rip/tear, but not this one. It is well worth the money to buy a quality vest like this!

All I hoped for and more!!

Good protection in dense field. Dog moves easily with it.

Great quality and easy to fit.

This vest is easy to put on and take off the dog. Very durable compared to others we have tried. Our dog had an injury to her chest and this vest does a great job of protecting that area from further injury.

The vest is sturdy and easy to put on. I would definitely buy another one.

The chest portion is too wide at the top. It does not breath so he sweats a lot on his lower chest area. It does provide good protection. No cuts from barbed wire.

A small vest is hard to find. The fit was just right, it stays on her very well when she is hunting. Good stuff!!

The vest fits perfectly with plenty of space on the front latch in order to mount a Gopro camera, good construction to protect his chest while flushing Pheasant and Chucker in heavy cover. I got the Yellow/ Tan due to the other Cockers having the orange/ black, now I can tell who's pup is doing all the work.

Great service by Gun Dog Supply.

Ordered size small for my 34lb boykin and it fit great. Easy to locate her running in the field and through the brush. Does a good job of protecting her from thorns. Would purchase again! I have ordered numerous items from Gun Dog Supply and have always been impressed with their products/selection/service.

A great vest! Good materials and good fit. I can pick my dog up with it! I use it around floribunda and briars so she doesn't get shy of going in hard. The sizing chart is a little tricky to use. My dog is 22 inches around the chest. I went for Extra Small because of that measurement and had to exchange it for a Small to get good body coverage. That size was correct on the chart according to her weight. Spaniels are on the small end of sporting dog world and their proportions are different from the larger dogs, so take care.

The buckles should be like a collar instead of plastic, and should also have velcro along the seam.

Great product. Fits my dog perfectly. Gives great protection and does not conflict with my dog. He likes to wear it, gets excited.

The vest has been fantastic in protecting my dog in the Cactus and briars found all over Texas. The service from gun dog has been exceptional as well!

This is a great dog vest and has saved my LM from multiple barbed wire incidents. I would highly recommend this to others. It is easy to put on her and the orange sides are great to help see her in tall North Dakota prairie grasses.

The order was shipped quickly, and I received the vest very fast. I will order dog supplies in the future because it was fast and easy.

It's good. I do like it, but the reason it is not excellent is the buckle gets snagged on branches in the thick stuff.

It would be nice if it was all orange.

I have a lot of fences that I have to cross, and the buckles catch when she goes under the fence sometimes. Other than that I like the vest a lot.

Just received the vest. I needed to return the small in exchange for a medium, but the new one fits great.

Fits great, and now my dog gets excited when he sees it because he knows he is going hunting.

The Sylmar body guard dog vest is by far the best vest I've had. The protection it provides for my dogs and high visibility surpasses any of those I had before. Very durable and cleans up easily. Easy to put on and very easy to take off with clips. I highly recommend it.

Fits my dogs perfectly, and they both love the vest!

Got it to protect my dog after he got stitches on the side of his brisket. Fits and works great and will prevent further injuries for sure.

Fits great.

High visibility. Protected Molly's core from burs and seed pods. Will check it out on cactus in a week.

However, I need to send it back and get a bigger size.

Ordered a large which fits perfectly right now, as our dog is only 10 mos old and still filling out. There is some room to grow into. I read some reviews where the complaint was front drooped open a bit and scooped up dirt and brush. We did not have that issue. I'm thrilled that we now can see him through the tall grass.

It fits and works reasonably well. It would work better on my dog particularly if she had heavier coat. She is thinly haired and the vest will chafe her some on hunts more than a couple of hours long, but that is her, not the vest.

It had a large tear within the first hour on a barbed wire fence. But it fits good. I got it patched up, and we are good to go. There is no tougher test than a good hunting dog on opening weekend!

Steve, My male wirehaired had an encounter with a nutria, the nutria ultimately lost, but not before leaving 14 stitches in our males front shoulder. The vest worked great for keeping the wound protected, and I will continue letting both of my dogs wear this vest throughout the hunting season. Great fit and apparently comfortable to the dogs as neither seem to even notice it. Eddie Stocks, Madoc Farms, Tarboro, NC

LOVE IT!!!!!! Very durable.

Just got back from hunting Grouse and Woodcock in Michigan for a week. Vest did it's job protecting my dog, plus great visibility.

I really like these vests. We have been hunting the thick brush with a lot of thorns and thickets. The vest are sturdy and have great visibility. They are easy to put on and adjustable.

Stood up well to fences, brush and wetlands (gumbo mud) in SD. Tossed into washer on gentle cycle with Tide and look new. Fit well, and dogs weren't restricted by them. Excellent product!

These vests are by far the best for protecting a dog while hunting, and they can handle years of use without tearing to pieces. The different colors available allow me to easily identify the dogs in the field.
