What Does a Tactical ESA Vest Look Like?

An emotional support animal vest, also known as an ESA harness, is an accessory that signals to others that your dog is there to help you with your disability. Although it is not required by law, many owners choose to use it to avoid unwanted attention and potential conflicts in public places. Support animal handlers often prefer to have accessories that clearly display the dog's status as an assistant animal trained specifically to assist with their disability. With this tactical support animal vest you can combine high reliability, convenience, wear resistance and professional appearance with a patch that will emphasize the special status of your dog.

How to Pick the Correct Harness Size for My Support Dog?

Picking the right vest size for your assistant animal is crucial because they will spend a lot of time wearing it, so the product should fit and be comfortable. To choose the correct option, all you will need is a measuring tape; size the girth (two fingers should fit between the tape and a dog’s body). Also, it shouldn’t be too tight around its neck and shoulders (if the skin bunches up, the harness is too small).

If you're unsure about which of the two vest sizes to order, it's recommended to choose the smaller size as the Tactical vest is highly adjustable. Please be aware that tactical vests are not available for extra-small and toy dogs. For these smaller breeds, you can order our classic ESA harness.

You can find the various leash sizes in the infographic below. Please note that the length is indicated in all cases, not the diameter.

For most ESA cats, the ideal size for a vest is XS. However, for larger breeds such as Maine Coon, Ragdolls, Norwegian Forest Cats, and other big breeds, an S-size harness would be more suitable. It's important to ensure a proper fit for the comfort and safety of your ESA. Additionally, an extra small vest can also be used for other support animals like small pigs, raccoons, and other animals that would feel comfortable wearing it.

Please note that breed sizes are approximate, and we recommend measuring your dog's dimensions according to our size chart. The XL size is indeed intended for giant breeds, so if you're unsure whether your dog falls into one of the largest breeds, you may not need the largest size.

Can I order a Support Animal vest if I don't have a registered ESA or a doctor's letter?

Yes, you can order an ESA vest from our company without having a registered assistant animal or a doctor's letter, as it is not regulated by law and there are no restrictions. Additionally, it is important to note that owning an ESA dog vest or other gear does not make an animal emotional support. The animal must mitigate the person's disability and the owner has to have a valid ESA doctor's letter.

Is it mandatory to use an ESA Vest?

It is not mandatory to use a vest for a support animal in all cases, as laws and regulations vary depending on the location and situation. However, many organizations and trainers recommend using a harness for support dogs because it helps to clearly identify the animal as a support dog which can help to prevent confusion or misunderstandings in public spaces. Additionally, a vest can also help to protect the dog from injury and prevent it from getting lost. It's good to check the laws and regulations of your location.
