"These are the best out on the market. Great thick material. What’s even better is the built in leash hook. These are the best."

β€” Amoss

"I figured this had buckles or straps that would make it easy to put on my puppy and it did not. You have to slip it over the dogs head and feed their legs through the holes. It is impossible for anyone with a puppy or active dog."

Bottom Line

A comfortable and well-designed vest, but buyers should be cautious with sizing and consider their pet's activity level when purchasing.
