The Hurtta story began with our personal need and desire to protect our dogs from the cold and ever-changing, extreme conditions of the North.
We are from Finland, ”The wild North,” a place known for its pure and exotic nature and unrelenting winters. Originally, we were clothing industry professionals, and we were determined to make functional products for our own dogs while also developing a range of functional dog gear globally.
We’re no strangers to the parks, trails, and training fields that dogs and their owners frequent every day. Our expertise stems from our extensive apparel industry and design experience and the bonds we have forged with other caring dog owners, dog trainers, and dog sport professionals worldwide.
Our love for dogs and our 20-year history are evident in everything we do. We’re always exploring and experimenting, working and reworking, testing and retesting – until our dogs let us know that we got it right.
NO TWO DOGS ARE THE SAME – Don’t guess on the size. Use the size chart along with the “Measuring Your Dog” size guide. The chest measurement is the most important for the Swimmer Vest
USES – The Swimmer vest is a durable and warming high-visibility vest for outdoor activities, swimming, Stand-Up paddle boarding, water rescue, rehabilitation and hunting
BOYANCY – The Swimmer vest features integrated float panels which provide additional support for swimming. The vest is not a life jacket; it merely improves the dog’s performance when swimming enabling your dog to stay in the water longer
MATERIAL – The vest is made of elastic and non-absorbent neoprene. Thanks to its excellent thermal insulation, the neoprene vest is particularly suitable for water-rescue dogs that work in cool temperatures and gundogs that retrieve game from water
FEATURES – The Swimmer Vest has low profile, pass-thru top handle designed not to get caught on branches. Perfect for helping to lift your dog out of the water
