Don't buy those $60 therapy dog vests online, mine fell apart in a week

I spent $60 on a heavily padded vest for my golden retriever who does reading therapy at the local library. The stitching split at the front seam after just three sessions. I thought I was getting a deal compared to the $40 ones but they all look flimsy now. The buckle broke on the fifth wear and I had to use zip ties to keep it on for our Thursday visit. The kids at the library laughed at the hack job I did with the zip ties. I should have just paid the extra for a real brand from a pet supply store. Has anyone found a vest that actually lasts through weekly therapy visits without breaking?

I read somewhere the fabric just isn't heavy duty on those cheap ones.

Nah, you're right. Saw a cheap one tear on the first windy day.
