Hello everyone, I have a 9 month old black lab and got him out duck hunting a few times this year. Last month during a cold spell here on the East side, I noticed he was shivering quite a bit, so I decided to buy him a neoprene vest, which I have never used before. I bought him the Deluxe Neoprene flotation vest from Cabelas. I trimmed it to fit him and it fit just a little loose but he looks comfortable in it.
This last week I was out hunting with him for the first time wearing the vest, and I noticed that his left leg was out of the leg hole and the vest rode up under his arm pit and caused a huge rash. (didn't notice the rash until after hunting when he was licking it constantly.) It slipped out a few times and when were hunting I really didn't notice it right away so he was out running and swimming with it like that and made the rash even worse. Is it better to get the vest a little tighter so it's snug on him? Was checking to see if anyone else experienced the same issue. Thanks.....John
