High-Visibility Safety & Chest/Belly Protection for Active Dogs by Mendota
Keep your dog protected and visible in any condition with the Mendota Pet High Visibility Lightweight Skid Plate. Recommended by veterinarians to protect post-surgical wounds or chest punctures, this durable plate shields your dog’s chest and underside from abrasions, cuts, and field hazards while allowing total mobility. Its lightweight, open-back design keeps your dog cool and comfortable — perfect for active dogs in warmer months when full vests can be too hot.
Durable Construction - Built with two layers of water-resistant 1000 denier Cordura® nylon, this skid plate provides extreme durability against rough brush, rocks, and other outdoor debris. The rugged material offers maximum protection for hunting, training, or everyday outdoor play while standing up to the toughest conditions.
Veterinarian Recommended Protection - Highly recommended by veterinarians for dogs recovering from chest wounds or surgery, this skid plate helps cover and protect sensitive areas from further injury or irritation. It offers an added layer of security to keep your dog safe during recovery or active use.
Secure, Adjustable Fit - The adjustable strap system is made of tough nylon webbing with quick-release buckles, slide adjusters, and a steel center ring. These features ensure a secure fit and easy on-and-off application while keeping the plate firmly in place through every adventure.
High Visibility Design - Featuring a bright Blaze Orange color for enhanced visibility, the Mendota Skid Plate helps keep your dog safe and easy to spot in any environment — whether in tall grass, wooded terrain, or low-light conditions.
Available Sizes - This skid plate is available in Small, Medium, Large, and X-Large to provide the best fit for a range of breeds and builds.
