Dog Vest Repair Service (non warranty repairs)


While the Dog Vest outer fabric is made of a durable nylon rip stop material, it can be torn if snagged on metal or other sharp object. Barbed wire fencing, for example, is a principal culprit of torn Dog Vest fabric in our goose control work.  


Dog Vests can be shipped to us for repair.  At no charge, we will advise if repairs are not feasible.  You may want to email us a photograph of the Dog Vest condition prior to shipping it to us and we will attempt to advise from the photograph if it is repairable.


If Dog Vest is repairable, the cost to repair torn fabric, re-stitching of webbing, or buckle replacement is $15.00 per vest, which includes return shipping in the continental US.    


Repairs to torn Dog Vest fabric are typically made by either hand stitching the torn edges together or by machine stitching a repair piece of fabric over the affected area. Please note note that repairs are typically visible, though hand stitched repairs are generally not obvious from a distance. Repair materials, both fabric and thread, will have some color variation to the original material.  


Important Repair Note: Repairs typically cannot be made to or through embroidery or other vest markings.  


You may want to order additional Dog Vests. Day in and day out we work our dogs wearing repaired Dog Vests, but for demonstrations the dogs wear new Dog Vests.
