Care

Remove all weights before cleaning. Hand-wash the harness in lukewarm water using mild soap. Allow to air dry completely — avoid tumble drying or prolonged exposure to direct heat. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.

More questions

Q: Are the weights included?

A: Yes, the removable 150 g (5.3 oz) weights are included: 12 for M, 20 for L and 24 for XL.

Q: How much weight should my dog start with?

A: None: use the harness empty for the first week, then add 2 weights and build by up to 2 weights per week, never above the full vest for your size.

Q: Can my dog swim in the weighted harness?

A: No, take the harness off before any water, because the extra weight makes it hard for a dog to stay afloat.

Q: Weighted vest or weighted collar?

A: Start with this vest for weighted walks; the weighted collar is for short, supervised drills only.
