Lost Birds Neoprene Vest for Dogs Orange

The Lost Birds Neoprene Vest in Olive for dogs is a warming wetsuit for your dog in cold waters. The Lost Birds neoprene vest keeps the whole back warm. It extends to the base of the dog’s tail when sitting to protect and prevent the formation of water tail. A new feature is a place on the back for either a Tracker Active or a waterproof Orbiloc light, as tracking is often done even after dark, the light helps to see where the dog is going. Check out the waterproof Orbiloc light here

A common problem with neoprene vests on the market is their poor fit, which is more of a hindrance than a benefit when working. They cause muscle pain in the dog, as freedom of movement is not realized, and they cannot be modified exactly where the greatest need would be. We developed the best possible vest for a dog’s work in cold waters with animal physiotherapists Maarit Hankaniemi and Marika Ruottinen. Thanks to the special seam structure, the vest can also be cut from the shoulder seams and release the full freedom of movement of the front legs and shoulders individually for each dog. So remember to watch the video below and cut the leg holes according to the instructions.

Design by Lost Birds, made in Lappeenranta.

Neoprene thickness 3mm, Velcro along the entire zipper, snaps at the ends, a place on the back for an Orbilock light or Tracker Active GPS locator.

New optional accessory: a lightening handle to help lift the dog into the boat. The handle and vest cannot withstand lifting the dog entirely, but are intended to help onto a boat/raft when you can get a little grip.

Neoprene stretches somewhat and the fit should be snug. If your dog’s measurements deviate significantly from these dimensions, you will need a custom-made vest.
