Blaze Orange Dog Vest. Reflective High Visibility in Hunting & Wooded Areas

I've waited a while to write this review to see how this vest would hold up through various seasons, and I couldn't be more pleased. We own 14 acres of land, about 12 of which are wooded. Some trails wind thru our property, which sits against public land that is frequented by hunters. Because we like to take our Catahoula for walks all year round, we figured we should play it safe. Both my husband and I wear hi-vis construction vests, we figure out four-legged family member should, as well. This is very adjustable, which is great for our hound boy... he's got a huge, deep chest, but is very lean. The velcro-style closure makes it easy to get a custom fit. The color is truly strikingly high visibility and we can keep an eye on him from far away, even in deep brush. The reflective striping and paw print are a nice touch. The fabric is light, yet durable. Our Otis loves to roll around in mystery piles he finds, and the best is easy to wipe clean and doesn't seem to stain easily. He sniffs his way through a lot of sense underbrush and briars, and this has held up without any tearing. I'd highly recommend this... great product at a decent price.

Fits well and is highly visible day and night. We live in a wooded rural area. Bow & Arrow hunting season is starting. Our dog is 52 lbs and medium sized but has coloring consistent with deer this time of the year. We have always put orange vests on our dogs during deer hunting season, both bow and firearm. This vest is the best one we have had. It fits well and is well tolerated by our dog, Gladys. Sometimes during the day she goes out multiple times so I just leave the vest on. She doesn't give any indication she prefers it off. It is extremely reflective day and night so I can see her in the woods and locate her easily, an added "activities of daily living" benefit. We ordered the size recommended in the size chart and it fits well with easy velcro adjustments. She has tested its "washability". What ever nasty stuff she rolled in washed off easily in the sink and it dries quickly. The material sheds burrs and general dirt and debris from the woods so doesn't require frequent cleaning and appears very durable. So far, it is a WINNER.

We live in the mountains in Idaho where there are a lot of hunters. We wanted to keep our Doberman safe on walks. She's an average-sized American Doberman, maybe even a wee bit chunky, and this vest fits her large chest well and extends all the way down her back without being too long. The Velcro strap allows us to adjust it to fit her rib cage with plenty more room to go. We likely could have gone with a medium as there was plenty of strap left. The vest is bright and true to the picture, which is perfect. It's very well made and thick material. I think it'll last my active Doberman without any issues. It's a great vest and I'm glad we got it.

I received this today; our dog was hit by a car last month and somehow survived despite head injuries, very lucky. We live in the woods and brush/trees often conceal his whereabouts. This solves that issue, plus a full fence will be going up on our property soon! Although as you can see by the pic he is less than thrilled with wearing it (won't look at me!) I am relieved to have something to make him more visible when we are hiking and also on our property/extra visibility if he does escape towards the road again. It's probably my computer monitor that makes the listing pic look like the vest is simply a yellow orange...it is much more vivid in real life. This thing is BRIGHT. It is true hunter's *neon* orange, and as you can see from the pics attached, the reflective straps are VERY reflective (that's just my cell camera flash in a lighted room). If you are looking for a fashion accessory for your pooch, this is something out of a hunting catalogue not Doggie Vogue but visibility is exactly what I was after. Our dog is about 60 lbs, Border Collie/Springer Spaniel mix, a little on the barrel-chested side...he measures about 33" circumference at the widest spot on his rib cage and a size L fits him perfectly with plenty of room to adjust the straps. I could easily cut the excess strap off but there is about 4" extra around his neck and about 3" extra strap at his waist. So far it appears very well made yet the fabric is nice and light...and as someone whose dog goes nuts listening to crinkly fabric, I can say that this is not crinkly or loud at all. In fact he is now fast asleep wearing it indoors. I'll update the review with wear and tear feedback once we've had it for a few weeks.

We purchased one of these from another manufacturer a few years ago for our older/larger dog to wear during hunting season since we live in the country surrounded by woods. We tried to order another one for our new (smaller dog) but the small from that manufacturer did not fit so we tried SafetyPUP XD because they had x-small as well. I ordered both the X-Small and the Small and sent back the X-Small since it fit our pup. WE LOVE IT and HERE'S WHY: First, the small from this company DID fit our 25 lb. shepherd/fox terrier rescue (whereas the other company's did not) but even if it hadn't, SafetyPUP still offered an X-Small- so: more size options. Second, the material is much better! It's way more reflective after several washings, seems more durable (though that was not an issue with the other manufacturer either as we still have and use it on our larger/older dog). But SafetyPUP's material is water repellent (if not waterproof) and has slightly more coverage over the front arms/lower neck than the other (which we offset on the other by adding an orange bandana- which is still worn). Overall- it's too bad we didn't find this company when we bought the first one! Since we liked the small orange so much (and our larger dog already has an orange vest) we also purchased the SafetyPUP XD URBAN in fluorescent yellow for both dogs: SMALL for Porter Jones (25 lb. shepherd/fox terrier mix rescue) & LARGE for Jabe Colden (75 lb. shepherd/collie mix rescue). I put the boys in the orange vests during the day in hunting season, and for those crepuscular hours (dawn/dusk) when the light is low- the Yellow shows up amazingly- you can even make out the yellow in full dark! And check either color out with a flashlight- FANTASTIC REFLECTION! Highly recommended for use at home, hiking, even in the water (if your dogs swim) so they can be seen by others (especially boaters). These have become a staple for our dogs whenever we leave the house now... better to have and not need, than need and not have. No more skipping out on spur of the moment hikes, or trail exploration because it's hunting season! We'll post some pics soon.

I’m so impressed with these vests! My dogs run off leash through thickets, forests, rivers, mud, snow, ice, etc. Thus the potential for wear & tear is high. So far, these have performed flawlessly! They wash & dry well, they protect their coats from burrs & branches. They help me keep track of my dogs since they are highly visible. For the price, these are a great deal. They fit true to size (provided in the measuring chart). And they are easy to put on. Once fitted, we leave the chest strap closed and just slip them over their heads & then fasten the belly strap.

This is an excellent safety vest. I read the other reviews online at Amazon and decided to give it a try. I am impressed with the quality of this vest for the value. Great design, excellent choice of material, and very comfortable on my dog. Its very lightweight and my dog didn't mind wearing it at all. All along the trim and across the center is a very reflective material. The orange is bright and easy to quickly spot. I really like the two big reflective dog prints, one of each side. This is a well thought out and designed vest. This vest is perfect for our 80 pound and rather tall golden retriever. We were concerned about his visibility when out on our property and also want oncoming traffic on our road to easily spot him. We also intend to use it when hiking or in areas that allow hunting so our dog isn't mistaken for something else. I find when we are outside, I like having this vest on our dog so I can easily spot him. Also helpful for those late evening and after dark potty visits outside. I don't have to strain to look for him. The front Velcro and side straps allow you to adjust for a prefect fit, so you can have it on more loosely or snug depending on what your dog likes best. I would definitely recommend to anyone considering it. Also, the supplier of the vest personally emailed me after I received my order. I have rarely been contacted by vendors/suppliers after ordering through Amazon and was impressed that they contacted me to make sure I was happy and satisfied with my purchase. Now how many vendors/suppliers do that?

Nicely made fits as discribed. good for brown dogs in active hunting area

Bought this for a golden retriever. We often walk in the bush so this best is perfect. It fits to size. Easy to do up and very reflective. It is blaze orange so Perfect for hunting season. Great value for the quality.

Buena relación calidad-precio. El chaleco se ata muy bien, no molesta a mi perra, se ve perfectamente desde lejos, y la cinta con Velcro es muy sólida.

Love this. Bought for my sprocker, he just ignores it when it's on. Really bright for those dark early morning walks & waterproof. Perfect

Ordered this yesterday and it has just arrived. Lovely quality item, fits perfectly and the dog doesn't mind it. Super fluorescent, and highly visible. The fabric and velcro straps seem robust. We holiday in France frequently, in a popular hunting area and I wanted something to keep our black dog safe. This is just the job.

une pure merveille enfin un gilet correct et une bonne taille merci
