Our newly redesigned Service Dog Form Fitted Active Cut Harness Vest is multi-functional and has room for many accessories and patches. This vest was specifically designed with an active cut, meaning higher cut sides, contoured neckline and shorter form fitted back. All this allows your dog freedom of movement in any position and still giving you lots of room to clip on handles, bags or add additional patches. Wider straps for the girth and chest help keep this vest in place and limit the amount of shifting from side to side like other square style vests tend to do. Our durable heavy nylon fabric and innovative Air-Tech spacer mesh backing make a great combination to keep your dog cool & comfortable while still having a long lasting vest. The Service Dog Form Fitted Active Cut Harness Vest has four heavy welded D-rings so you can attach any of our accessories such as; bridge handles, clip-on bags, Identification carriers, or engraved tags.
Girth Sizes:
- Medium 26"-31"
- Large 31”-39”
- XLarge 34”-45”
The vest comes with 2 standard patches of your choice.
Service Dogs: A person must be legally disabled and their dog must perform a task for them. The handler has public access rights with a Service Dog and they are protected under Federal ADA Law, and are allowed access to public property with their Service Dog.
Emotional Support Dogs: A person must have a note from a licensed mental health professional in order to legally have an ESA dog. These dogs provide an increased comfort level for their owner, particularly in social situations. These dogs do not have ADA public access rights but they are allowed to fly with their owners and qualify for no-pet housing.
Therapy Dogs: A trained dog that meets the needs of others such as; visiting nursing homes, hospitals, schools, etc while doing pet therapy work. The handlers do not have ADA public access rights with Therapy Dogs and must have permission from an establishment to enter.

Great vest
Our English Lab loves the vest. He seems to be very comfortable in it and not squirming around like he does in his other vest. It is light weight and a fabulous color that people can see and read the patch!!
We just came in from horrible rain and he was dry and content with being in the vest.
Very happy with the quality and the stitching. Th e handle is strong and worked real well when my husband fell and needed Parker for assistance. It didn’t seem to wiggle that much on him. And both were happy and safe.
We have always been happy with Active dog and their customer service and true compassion. We have recommended them to many people and will continue to have them on the top of our list
Thank you for always thinking about our loved dogs and their comfort. They work hard and deserve it!!!

Very sturdy and comfortable
My German Shepherd is my military medical service dog and we put in some long days and miles. I love how sturdy, comfortable and well-fitting your products are and this is one amazing vest! The mesh interior makes this not only a well-fitting vest and also clearly marked for service dog but it is not hot especially on those humid Midwestern summer days. I have a GSD that is 30 inch girth and large is an amazing fit.

My German Shepherd is my PTSD dog and we are very busy and moving all the time. I needed a vest that was professional, CLEAR and comfortable for our busy lifestyle.
I was afraid this vest would be too hot, but the mesh underneath is actually VERY breathable.
(For size reference) My GSD is 1.5 y/o , 71lb and about 26inch at the shoulder ) and wears a size LARGE

Great Quality
This vest is terrific quality, fits perfect and looks great. My dog seems to like it and doesn't fight me when I put it on him, it's so easy, just slip it over his head then buckle it underneath. (he hates his old seatbelt harness)I like the rings located around it. They make it easy to attach his extra equipment and his seatbelt. There's also plenty of adjustment available, he is right at the smallest limit for the large vest and it adjusts fine and would even be able to adjust smaller if needed. PERFECT!

I ordered a vest for my CA state licensed service dog in camo with two patches. I also asked how much it would cost to sew on additional patches that I had purchased elsewhere. As long as you buy the vest from them they will put customer supplied patches on your vest. In our case we had to eliminate one of the patches we ordered to accommodate the two I sent in.
One was in support of Breast Cancer through our local Police Department which is the same patch they wore during the awareness month. The other was for the Veterans Administration because I transport a disabled veteran to his appointments. It honors those who served, all branches of the military included, and those who have fallen. The vest is well made and will serve our purposes. I also ordered custom patches from active dogs for his backpack and had a leather repair person sew them on. I am extremely happy with the company, the customer service, and the quality of the product. My only issue is the on-line service dog registration which has no legal standing. If you go to the ada.gov it clearly spells it out. Five Stars and would give more if possible. I bought a medium for an Australian Shepherd.
The patches also include his name .

Great Product
I want to commend you for the quality of the vest and for sewing my department patch on it. Duke has been training for about 6 months give or take a due to snow.
Three weeks ago Duke was involved with his first search. He did a great job!!! One of the top search teams in the area were involved with the search also, they were amazed how well Duke did for only just turning two. One of their handlers said Duke is one of those rear dogs with a natural ability for search and for doing the right thing. I wanted to share some photos of Duke with you in his vest.

I bought this vest well over ten years ago. It has gone through one rough and tumble service dog, and growing out my shepherd. Through all the adventures and travel, even though I just toss it in the washing machine with a load of clothes and dry it the same it still looks as pretty as the day I pulled it out of the box.

Great for my Service Dog
We ordered this harness after we tried a Search and Rescue style harness on my dog and it wasn't quite what we wanted for how she helps me. This vest has all the D rings we need for her to be able to pull me up or to help me walk, without having to invest in 2 separate harnesses so she could pull me or my wheelchair, or walk with me. We bought the 16" reflective bridge strap to go with this harness for the walking assistance and it works great.

Great Vest for Mobility Assistance
I purchased this vest for my first Service Dog approximately 8 years ago. It proved to be an invaluable assistive device that is still in fantastic condition and now being worn by my second Service Dog. It is not appropriate for warm weather if worn for long periods outside, but for short trips in and out of an air-conditioned vehicle it is fine. As an individual with fluctuating needs, it serves as the perfect aid when mobility is not restricted to forearm crutches or a wheelchair. It is a great design for providing stability when walking and sturdy enough to assist in getting up from a seated position. I am now looking for a more structured harness as my needs have increased. Thank you Active Dogs for providing great service and helping your customers find the equipment that best serves their needs.

I am a tracking dog trainer and instructor. All of my students are told to get one of these as its the finest around. Ive got thousands of tracks and hundreds of dogs on mine. absolutley excellent. Last student is in zimbabwe hunting poachers with his dog and loves it too. as far as those complaining of heat . I would not know Texas doeasnt ever get much above 120 with 90% humidity. so never got to try it out. The guy in zimbabwe though did report that at 135 he wasnt having problems. And In iraq i cant remember having heat problems but again it never got much above the 140 mark so i cant say for sure.

patrol and pulling style vest
I have used this vest since 2007, am on my second dog with it. Both dogs have been German Shepherds.After my first dog passed: I went to choose my second dog,and I put it on him, and he had no issues with the new equipment, he had never worn a vest before and was only 10 months old. Within a few weeks, we took a trip on the Metro, walked around DC, and back to the Metro. What freedom!! It is strong, I feel secure, the dog is very comfortable and can lean into the vest, if necessary, with no discomfort. The first time I ordered, the edging had not been stitched to the padding in one spot, the company sent me a free replacement. I love this vest, please keep it in stock!! It has plenty of room for patches too. I like the D rings, and use them for attaching medical info, etc. It can be a bit hot in summer, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Simply keep the dog hydrated! My walking is better with this vest too.

Great sturdy quality. But a bit of a weird fit.
It works well for me and my Service Dog. It's sturdy, appealing, fairly comfortable.
The size I ordered was correctly measured. It fit her chest and girth, but even on the largest setting, the neck hole seemed tight. It kept the vest pretty far up her withers. I wish it was able to adjust a bit looser.

Nice vest but way too hot for summer! I bought this in January so I had no luck trying to return it in April. My service dog nearly passed out. I think this is truly a winter vest and should be advertised as such. One was defective. They repaired it but having spent hundreds i was disappointed in the service. Forget it if you live in the southern states. A big razz-berry to Active dogs.
