Bad enough the beating his legs and feet take. Some custom tailoring and there is no chafing. I do agree with the petroleum jelly or such for long haired dogs as the thorns don't catch as bad and the burrs are easier to remove. Petroleum jelly is a pain to wash out (for us non-manly men) and so I use mink oil conditioner. Mink oil, petroleum jelly, spray bandage, bandage wraps, super glue, and a steel comb and tweezers for cacti are mandatory in my pack. I've never had any issues pursuing grouse
and don't subject him to wearing a vest. |
X' s two I have found this much superior, to the one Wholesale Sports sells. mine doesn't chaffe my dog.
