Product Description
The Hurtta Worker Dog Vest is an ideal choice for dogs engaged in outdoor activities and hunting. It's a lightweight, high - visibility vest that keeps your furry friend safe and comfortable. The vest features plenty of reflective prints and 3M reflective piping, which guarantee excellent visibility even in low - light conditions. Made of elastic and breathable knitted fabric with a weatherproof Houndtex layer, it's both durable and silent during use. The belly flap is crafted from tough, wear - resistant Cordura fabric, able to withstand extreme mechanical wear in demanding situations. This vest comes with Clariant Sanitized treatment, containing permethrin, an active substance that repels mosquitoes, horseflies, and ticks. Note that the Clariant Sanitized treatment has been dermatologist - tested and is generally safe for dogs, but it might cause a reaction on sensitive skin. It's not suitable for cats as permethrin is toxic to them. Key features include weatherproof and breathable Houndtex, a comfortable and snug - fitting design, highly visible 3M reflectors, removable loops for a GPS collar, durable Cordura on the chest and stomach, and effective insect - repelling capabilities. Available sizes are as follows: XSmall (Neckline: 14', Chest: 20', Waist: 16'), Small (Neckline: 14', Chest: 21', Waist: 17'), Medium (Neckline: 16', Chest: 26', Waist: 20'), Large (Neckline: 17', Chest: 27', Waist: 22'), XLarge (Neckline: 19', Chest: 32', Waist: 25'), XXLarge (Neckline: 22', Chest: 35', Waist: 27'). To measure your dog, for the neckline, measure at the base of the neck (the widest point), and the vest's neckline can be adjusted for a smaller fit. For the chest, measure at the widest point behind the front legs and add two inches for freedom of movement. For the waist, measure at the widest part in front of the back legs.
Using the Hurtta Worker Dog Vest is easy. First, measure your dog's neckline, chest, and waist following the provided guidelines to select the right size. Then, put the vest on your dog, making sure it fits comfortably and isn't too tight. The removable loops can be used to attach a GPS collar if you want. When it comes to the insect - repelling feature, the permethrin in the Clariant Sanitized treatment does its job automatically. Just keep in mind that it might cause a reaction on sensitive skin, so if your dog has sensitive skin, keep an eye on it. Also, never let a cat come in contact with this vest as permethrin is poisonous to them. For maintenance, simply follow the washing instructions on the label. Usually, a gentle machine wash should do the trick. This will keep the vest in good condition and ready for your dog's next outdoor adventure.
