The snaps are to close for two dogs
Hi Bryson,
Thanks for the feedback—we appreciate you giving our lead a try.
These standard two-dog leads are intentionally built to keep dogs fairly close together, which helps when leading them out of the woods and reduces the chances of getting wrapped up on trees or brush. If you’re noticing them feeling too tight for your setup, feel free to reach out to us directly with a bit more detail on what you’re experiencing—we’re happy to take a closer look.
If you need more spacing between dogs, we can also set you up with extended couplers, although most customers prefer the closer setup for control and ease when handling two dogs.
We appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
great product, great fit
Very happy with the service and quality. Just bought my third vest.
Hi guys. Good gear saved me some money this week at the vet and only one ingerd dog so I may need another one soon. Very important to get the size right to stop any rubbing. Good vest
Awesome vest! fits perfect as the sizing chart recommends,Dog moves well in it and gives good protection.
Pleased with best overall just wished leg guards would be a little longer I have other vest I prefer guards better but overall good fit
Hi Brian,
Sorry the leg guards weren’t as large as you were hoping. On custom builds like yours, we can make them any size you’d like. If you order again, just let us know how much larger you want them and we’ll make it happen!
We appreciate your business and the review.
Top quality cut gear and service. Southern cross has kept me out of the vet’s office and in the field. Thanks again for helping keep my pack as safe as possible.
We appreciate that a lot, thank you. That’s exactly what it’s all about for us—keeping dogs protected and in the field where they belong. Glad the gear is doing its job for you and your pack. Stay safe out there.
Elite Catch Vest PRO- Attached Collar Extreme Protection
Been using Southern Cross for years and the Spec Ops since it first came out. SC’s products are the best at combining protection and flexibility and Dave’s customer service cannot be beat!!
We appreciate you sticking with us over the years, that means a lot. Glad the Spec Ops Catch Pro has been working well for you—that balance of protection and flexibility is exactly what we’re after.
Thank you for the support, we’ve got your back anytime you need us.
i would give the vest a five except the velcro around the neck and the one strap. vest fits my dogs perfect except the neck area. the velcro doesnt hold and the one strap allows the velcro to come undone. i know the gps collar is made to hold the other side but i do not leave the vest on my dog all the time here in texas due to the heat and i do not like taking the gps collar off every time and running it through the vest each time i vest the dog up. other than that i am happy with this vest i have two of this style and 3 other southern cross vest which i am happy with
Fits good, light weight and keeps my dogs safe. Best in the business, I believe
Thank you for the great review, Konner! We’re glad to hear the Ultra Flex Strike PRO is fitting well and doing its job keeping your dogs safe. Lightweight protection without sacrificing durability is exactly what we aim for. We really appreciate the support! 💪
I’ve ordered this product several times but had not purchased for a while. I ended up seeing another Southern Cross video on YouTube and made a comment about the video. My comment was quickly answered by one of the guys from the channel. Our little conversation led me to reorder Dog Bloom. The member told me they could ship it the same day. I immediately went to the actual website and ordered the 5 pounder. It did in fact go out the same day! We received it very shortly after. Great service without a doubt. The product itself covers all the nutritional areas that your dog might be lacking in. Even if you feed a quality RAW diet, a dog that puts out a lot of energy can be missing some key nutrients. Our OFRN, ABBT looks wonderful and her coat is like silk because of this supplement. Cross Cut doesn’t mark up the price and the 5 pound jug will last a very long time. If you have a working dog, or a dog that might need a little extra boost, this is the stuff to get. We are going to be long time customers.
Hi Gio,
Thank you for the great review and for your continued support! We're glad our team was able to connect with you on YouTube and get your order shipped out quickly.
It’s awesome to hear your ABBT is doing so well on the Dog Bloom VM Supreme—working dogs can definitely benefit from that extra nutritional support.
We truly appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!
I switch back and forth with this vest and the elite catch depending on the hunt. Dogs never show signs of slowing down and barely notice they’re wearing anything. I can’t find better gear, or people than Southern Cross. Safe dogs doing what they love!
No better evidence of amazing gear than a 12 year-old working catch dog. Broke off on one side so she only catches on the other side. Joann has caught thousands of pigs and hundreds of rank boar. At 12 years old she caught a 250lbs boar last week. Genetics, nutrition and amazing catch vests.
I just re-upped for my next generation catch dogs. I don’t even have to wonder if they’re gonna be safe.
Thank you Southern Cross!
Fit my dogs perfectly. Plenty of mobility and coverage.
Bought a vest about 4 years ago, held up great every hunt fits dog perfectly. Definitely the place to get y’all’s vest there are tough and hold up great never let me down.
Custom Spec-Ops Catch PRO Vest (Custom Built: Allow 7-10 Days for Manufacturing)
Slot for prongs need to be more compatible with collars
Hi James — thanks for the feedback. We’re sorry to hear you ran into a compatibility issue. The Alpha Cut Collars are designed to be used with long prongs, which is noted in the product description. Short/standard prongs will not get a good connection, if this is what you are using?
If you are already using long prongs and still having trouble, please reach out to us directly and we’ll be happy to help get it sorted. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
By far the best collar I have ever purchased for my working dog. I know this piece of equipment will outlast my dog and I look forward to working with it for a long time. Southern Cross's customer service is impeccable as well.
Very well made and plenty of protection in the right places
Vest was made very quickly and it fits great. I look forward to having many hunts with it. Thanks
