Canadian Brand. The Canada Pooch Weighted Calming Vest is a weighted solution to help calm anxious dogs. The WEIGHTED CALM insert provides gentle pressure and evenly distributes the weight on the dog's shoulders to help create a calmer emotional state. This insert is microwaveable once removed from vest and made of non-toxic microbeads. Vest is machine-washable when insert is removed. Inspired by human weighted blankets, the gentle pressure resembles being hugged or petted to help dogs feel calm and at ease.
