The Detail
Everything in the box.
A nylon vest that supports the length of the back rather than one joint. For dogs with spinal soreness or a back that has stiffened with age, spreading support across the whole span is often more comfortable than compressing one spot.
Who it suits
Dogs with back pain, spinal stiffness, or a history of back injury. Long backed breeds in particular, where the spine carries load across a wider span than it was ever built for.
What it does not do
Back problems in dogs cover everything from a pulled muscle to disc disease, and disc disease can turn serious quickly. A support vest is for comfort and gentle stability. It is not a treatment, and a dog who is suddenly reluctant to move, wobbly on their back legs, or crying out needs a vet the same day.
How it helps
- Supports the length of the back rather than a single point
- Nylon construction, light enough for daily wear
- Three sizes at one price
- Suits long backed breeds and older dogs
Getting the size right
Back length and chest girth both matter, and getting the length wrong is the common mistake. Our measuring guide shows how to take a back measurement properly. Send us the numbers and we will confirm.
| Size | Back length | Chest | Weight guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 28 to 33 cm | 33 to 38 cm | up to 6 kg |
| M | 33 to 40 cm | 36 to 43 cm | 6 to 10 kg |
| L | 40 to 45 cm | 46 to 54 cm | 10 to 16 kg |
Back length decides the size. Measure from the base of the neck to the hips with your dog standing. Weight is a cross check only.
Between two sizes? Do not round on your own. Send us the numbers and we will tell you which way to go, because it depends on the product and on whether your dog is likely to gain or lose muscle. Five minutes on email beats a fortnight waiting on an exchange.
Not sure it is the right one?
Send us your dog's measurements and a short description of how they are moving. We will tell you honestly what we would order, including when the answer is nothing yet.
