Meet the Shorter 3-Point Felling Dogs from Westcoast Saw
A Classic Reimagined for Short Bars
Get ready to revolutionize your cutting game. Westcoast Saw is proud to introduce the highly anticipated shorter version of our classic 3-point felling dogs. We heard the call from the field, and we delivered: a compact, powerful solution engineered for precision and control.
This new 'Shorty' felling dog is specifically designed for arborists, storm cleanup crews, and anyone running chainsaws with bar lengths of 28 inches and under. Crucially, its design excels in tackling hardwoods and thin bark trees giving you more bar length. It’s a testament to reimagining a classic for the modern operator’s demanding work.
Built Tough: Premium Materials, Made in the USA
When we say "tough," we mean it. The 3-Point 'Shorty' felling dog is forged from our proprietary ultra-high strength steel – the same trusted material you can find in our existing lineup.
Like all Westcoast Saw gear, this new felling dog is proudly made right here in the USA. That means quality you can feel in your hands and trust on the job, built by American craftsmen who understand what a cutter needs.
Smoother Cuts with Better Control
What truly sets the 'Shorty' apart is its intelligent design, focused on performance. We've refined the center dog alignment to sit perfectly with your chain kerf. While it may seem like a small detail, it makes a huge difference. It translates to enhanced articulation, allowing for smoother, more efficient, and incredibly controlled cuts. Whether you’re limbing, bucking, or felling, this improved control means less effort, more precision.
Easy Installation & Compatibility Notes
We know you want to get to work, not spend hours tinkering. The 3-Point 'Shorty' felling dog is made for straightforward installation, especially for our Stihl® users. You can typically reuse your existing hardware, making the upgrade quick and hassle-free. For those looking to optimize their setup, these dogs are perfect for dual spike configurations, giving you even more biting power.

Don't Skip the Chain Roller
If you're running a dual spike setup, a chain roller is non-negotiable. It's not just an accessory; it's a vital component that ensures added strength and support to the outside dog.
To ensure your warranty coverage remains valid and your chainsaw performs at its peak, always use a proper chain roller. We highly recommend our Chain Roller/Catcher for seamless integration and optimal performance.
