I have used TOP DOG MFG products for several years while working in the aquaculture industry in BC, Yukon and on the East Coast of Canada. The gowns, aprons and sleeves are very versatile and durable, made to withstand the demands of fish processing plants, spawning broodstock, picking eggs, and general fish handling tasks. They repel the water, stand up to minus 20 degree freezers, provide a layer of warmth, are easy to clean and disinfect by hand, or in the washing machine. They dry quickly in air and are dryer tolerant as well. A great added feature is the available variety of colours which allows the facility to colour code specific areas of work so to maintain biosafety or food safety of the facility. The Top Dog Mfg service is great and the company is innovative and always willing to work with the client to find solutions.
