Mesh emotional
support dog vests are an option for handlers who want a lightweight,
breathable vest for their animal. These vests offer the same benefits of
standard ESA vests but with the added advantage of its light yet sturdy mesh
material. Read on to learn more about the specific features of mesh emotional
service dog vests, as well as which breeds of dogs would benefit the best from
them.
Why Mesh Materials?
Standard emotional support dog vests are made from padded
materials such as high-denier cotton. Although these materials create a strong,
weather-resistant vest, a padded vest may not be ideal for all types of dog
breeds. Dogs with thick coats such as golden retrievers and collies may get too
warm while wearing a fully padded ESA vest. Similarly, standard vests may not be
ideal for many types of dogs if they are worn in warmer climates, regardless of
the dog's coat length. In either of these instances, a vest made from lighter
materials, such as mesh, is needed.
Mesh Vest Features
ESA mesh vests come with a sewn-on patch that indicates the
dog is an emotional support dog. Additional patches that indicate the dog is
“in training” or other helpful information for the public may be attached to
these vests as well. The vests also come with an adjustable chest and girth
strap, as well as a leash attachment. Other optional features include laminated
ID badge holder, a reflective strip, and even a zipper pocket for storing
belongings.
Different Types of Mesh Emotional Support Animal Vests
Mesh emotional support dog vests fill the need for a lighter
vest option. By providing the animal with a lightweight mesh material, the vest
is breathable and more comfortable. Premium mesh vests fit medium, large, and
extra large dog breeds up to 41”.
A light mesh vest
version is also available. This emotional support dog vest resembles a standard
cotton vest with padded material on the back. However, this vest has mesh sides
to allow for better airflow. This vest supports XXS to XXL dogs up to 42”.
Keep in mind that most mesh vests are built to fit medium to
large dogs. For small dogs, be sure to order small mesh emotional support dog
vests, which are specially designed to provide a comfortable fit for smaller
ESA dog breeds such as chihuahuas and Pomeranians.
