Police K9's aren't just dogs. Any K9 handler will attest that a K9 counterpart is no less valuable than a human partner - K9's are well-trained, intelligent, enthusiastic, and loyal. As the vital role of police officer's protection of our community becomes increasingly dangerous, agencies are relying more and more on the agility, versatility, speed, stamina, and senses of K9's to protect both officers and citizens. Given the substantial investment of time and money in each dog's training and care, and their contribution to the success of law enforcement, it makes sense to protect them as they serve our community!

The work of a K9 is extremely dangerous and very unpredictable. Statistics indicate that one in four dog handlers will be involved in an armed encounter while working. The primary purpose of the vest is to provide the police dog with soft body armor similar to that worn by their handlers all over the world. The vest not only builds in ballistic protection covering the dog's vital organs, but it does so without restricting the dog's ability to move. Agility cannot be compromised for ballistic protection. Doing so would disable the dog, making him a slow moving, easy target.

The K9 vest seeks to provide an appropriate level of protection of a dog's vital organs, chest, back and stomach. The carrier is made of a flat back, non-reflective cordura which it is lightweight and rugged. The vest ends forward of the dog's rear legs and hips, so as not to restrict speed and movement.
