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.

“Making the finest quality dog protection out there comes naturally to us because this is our passion. We understand the necessity of the gear doing what we say it will do, and we understand the needs of all hunters at a fundamental level.” Said Mark Meyocks, owner and founder of Cuga.  “We remain deeply committed to our consumers and retailers, and we look forward to the equipping our likeminded buyers with the gear they need this year.”

Cuga vest is offering a warranty for one-year from construction and materials defects. For orders more information, visit cugavest.comMSRP: $59.99-84.99
