Key benefits at a glance
- two wide belts with Velcro help the vest stay in place as your dog moves.
- neck and body protection includes removable chrome spikes; back spikes add coverage where it matters most.

Fit, sizing, and real-world use
To ensure a proper fit, measure your dog with the dog standing, from the front shoulder to the start of the tail, then compare to the sizing chart. If you’re between sizes or unsure, opting for a smaller size can help keep the vest snug as your dog moves. This can be especially helpful during quick sprints or curious explorations, where a secure fit matters most.
Sizing tips
- Stand your dog and measure from the shoulder to the tail start to determine length.
- Use the sizing chart and consider selecting the smaller size if between options.
- Check that the vest sits evenly around neck and torso for full coverage without restricting movement.
Care, durability, and care-free maintenance
The SpikeVest is water-repellent and easy to clean. Hand wash with mild detergent and air dry in the shade. Because there is no metal, rust is not a concern, even after damp weather or light rain during walks.
