The Canada Pooch Weighted Calming Vest is designed to help soothe anxious dogs with gentle, evenly distributed pressure on the shoulders, promoting a calm emotional state. The vest features a removable, microwaveable insert filled with non-toxic microbeads for added comfort. Inspired by human weighted blankets, the vest mimics the sensation of being hugged or petted. The vest is also machine-washable once the insert is removed, making it both comforting and convenient for your dog.
