Cuga has debuted a series of three protective vests for hunting dogs working the fields this season: the Standard, the Waterfowler and the Narrow. While its a piece of kit that can give birdhunters peace of mind as they prepare for the season, it’s also perfect for whitetail hunters who use their dogs to help track. The product and all of its components are made wholly in the US, and Cuga is offering over 8 different sizes and variations for the dog apparel market.
