Love love my vest! Just be aware that greasy treats will leave a grease mark on the outside of the side pocket. Washing with Dawn works well for that. I’m having difficulty using the detachable inner front pocket for fast treat delivery as the inner liner pulls up and all the treats spill out. Minor complaint and I’ll figure it out. All in all this is an excellent product of great quality.

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're so glad to hear that you love your Ruffdog COLA Lightweight Dog Trainer Vest. We appreciate the heads up about the greasy treats and will definitely keep that in mind for future improvements. We apologize for any difficulty with the detachable inner pocket. We agree and are making our new Winter vests removeable treat pocket with a stiffer inner lining! Thank you for your support and happy training!

Great vest!

I bought this to wear during the summer, and I'm very glad I did. I've used it for agility, scent work, tracking, gun dog games, and dog walks/hikes. I love all the pockets and the mesh fabric makes it comfortable. I am 5'4"/125 lb and the XS is the right size for me.

Thank you for your review Wendy! We love our new lightweight vests too for everything dog related as well as gardening!
