| Couple of vids of Presley using his Halo Vest This vest helps blind dogs from bumping their heads. I am slowly getting him used to it. He has a little nerve damage in his neck and after a while I think it aggravates him. I take it off as long as he's not mobile. But he napped in it once. I'm hoping as time goes on he will adjust. He is getting around pretty good. He gets mad when he gets stuck. So far only one time in the bathroom. We've closed it off. I am still learning as we go...

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Bless his little heart. I hope this vest gives him the freedom that he so deserves. I'm also impressed with how quickly they got the vest made for you. Please keep us updated on his progress.

| Darn, I was so excited to watch the 2 new videos but I can't get them to play. Just the first one keeps coming up. And I was so excited to see the new ones I "liked" it already!

| I love the idea of the halo but it seems to that it could be smaller. Bless his heart. I had a blind dog and he did great in the house as long as I didn't move furniture.

| Yes he still has a bit of pep in his step. He's like that mostly. He is hesitant when I first put on the vest, he never really worn a collar because of his nerve damage - it would make him scratch till he was raw. So we only put a collar on him when we travel. It hasn't bothered him too much today. I put it on when we gets up from his naps. It's a pretty sturdy device. I really wasn't expecting much, but the quality is very good.

| I think Presley's issue is he does have a little bit of dementia and doesn't remember where the furniture is. If he were younger I probably wouldn't need this. The sizing gives him an extra two inches. In think it looks like a lot of space because he keeps his head low. When we extend his head fully, it looks like it fits normal.

| I am glad you posted this. My dad's dog, Odie has some kind of progressive disease where he will basically go totally blind. Right now, he has trouble seeing at night and occasionally bumps into things.. I am going to have to tell my step mom about it because I know she's going to worry sick when he goes all the way blind. |
