A Complete Guide to Dog Hunting Gear

Fido needs the right dog hunting gear to aid them in the hunt. The partnership between man and dog spanned for thousands of years until today.

On the hunting grounds, dogs have always been very passionate that their masters almost don't have a hard time getting things done. They're considered man's best friend for a reason.

They have this uncanny ability to read and understand humans more than any other creature on this planet. A connection that's impossible to break as what appears through time.

Dogs are in real danger in the hunt than we actually think. I experienced one hog hunting trip gone wrong when the boar's tusk struck a dog's jugular vein and it was over in an instant.

It was a hunting tragedy that I could not forget. If the dog wore protective gear of some sort, the strike may have injured the poor thing, but it wouldn't have been lethal.

Dogs that are given this dangerous line of work should have the utmost protection they deserve. If you care much for your hunting buddies, check out these dog hunting gear for them to take advantage.

1. Electronic Hunting Dog Collars

Some dogs have natural negative behavior that needs to be gradually corrected.

The E collar is not supposed to punish the dog, but try to suppress its behavior that is potentially going to put the dog or anyone at risk.  Even in hunting, dogs have to be disciplined.

2. Dog Vest

Dog vests are what every dog needs in the hunt. They protect the rib cage, chest, and the belly.

In case your dog gets a little too excited or gets in trouble with a bigger animal, the vest might just save your dog's life.

3. Dog Rucksack

Dogs are quite strong and they can carry a lot of weight. If you wanna share the load you're carrying with your dog, you can place some water, small items for the trip, or your first aid kit inside your dog's rucksack.

4. Dog Boots

Dog boots for hunting have heavy duty soles that are made out of recycled tires. The inner soles also provide cushion and are slip resistant that protects your dog’s feet and keep them comfortable as well.

It also keeps their paws protected from sharp terrain.

5. First Aid Kit

Dogs are at risk of hurting themselves out in the field. In cases of life-threatening situations, like humans, dogs can benefit from an emergency first aid kit.
