 O.K. for medium to small canine but not a very large dog. November 12, 2008
Ginger
This vest seemed sturdy enough and the straps adjusted well to my dog's girth, but the zipper was a disappointment, being rather likely to unravel when you pulled your pet up to lift him or her.
My dog is approimately 127 lbs. and when I tried it on her and lifted her, the stitching around the zipper looked as if it would break if I did this manuver a few more times, especially in the water. The stitching needs better reinforcement.
I would recommed it for a dog no more than 80 lbs. tops, if you are going to fish your very large pup in and out of the water many times. (Although it will keep your dog safe and afloat and seen in an emergency, so that is a plus in its favor.)
Not for every breed of dog November 2, 2008

This life vest seemed to be a quality product, especially for the price. The only problem we had was the mesh that goes around the bottom, the design of the vest just wasn't right for our type of dog. We have two mini doxie and when they would try to paddle becuase of their barrel chests and shorter legs, their legs would get tucked up inside the vest - very dangerous. I think this would be a great life vest for a larger dog, if you have a mini doxie or one with a similar build I would go with an Outward Hound vest that doesn't have the mesh.
Nice Floatation Device September 2, 2008
Bennett P. Brookstein
My dog had a great time on the canoe trip and paddled around with ease. I really liked this PFD because it has a netting under the body. So that the pressure is displaced throughout her body and not just with a chest and body straps, though it has the straps too.
I didn't have to worry about my doggie because she paddled and floated all around the canoe and people swimming. Plus she looked cute also.
Makes pool swimming easier for my girls August 25, 2008
Maregolden (Brentwood, NY USA)
My dogs love to swim in the pool. The problem was that they couldn't just stand there when they get tired of swimming like we can, so they would come to us to hold them while they rested. With these vests on they don't tire as quickly, so they can swim a lot longer. Despite the vest being used in the pool many times, which includes the dogs jumping off the platform of the ladder, the zippers have not opened at all, which some other reviewer had a problem with. The measurements are true to size and they are easy to put on and take off. I can't comment on how they would be for boating and ocean swimming, because we don't do that, but for pools they are great. You can see pictures of my girls wearing the vests if you click on the other pictures link above.
Good product August 1, 2008

I use this on my lab/pitt mix even though he's a strong swimmer. Eases the mind. It keeps his head up if he gets tired and the handles are nice for pulling him out of the water and if your tubing he likes to pull people around. It didn't slide around and he didn't mind wearing it.
