Outward HoundOutward Hound Granby Splash Dog Life Jacket, High-Buoyancy Dog Life Vest for Swimming, Boating, and Water Safety, Medium, Orange

The quality is better than a comparable one we bought from a chain pet store for our other dog. Our dogs can swim, but using life vests is a precaution we take when out in deeper water just in case they fall off the boat. [Size comment: our big boy is over 90 lbs and barrel chested. The size that fits his girth is a little long for his body. (So it sticks out past his bum and is a little awkward, but we're trying to be safe while underway, not create an outfit. They should make husky sizes for dogs, lol.]

This came in today. We are boaters and require our dogs to wear flotation vests while traveling to our destination. We adopted a very large new fur baby and I was concerned about getting a sturdy life vest. Well this is definitely it. The fit was perfect for the measurements. The Velcro and buckles are strong. The handle straps are able to lift his 82 pounds if necessary. He is able to move in it without an issue and appears to be very comfortable. I would say that overall it has exceeded what we look for in functionality. It further passed the water resistance test. Overall is very well made and he looks great in the color.

be careful to order the correct one - It is great fits a moderate - larger border collie - 55 -60 pounds well - the weird thing is when you change the COLOR and try to order another it brings up a different vest - I have two dogs and had to return one and when I tried to order a replacement for the one I can see why - you pick one item and change the color and the actual product changes - to a more heavy duty one which is more than we need. it seems that they have different types based on color - anyway - this one is good.

Update: As expected when my dachshund got so excited and wanted to play hard, his arm got caught in the upper strap but as I stated in the post, always be with your dog. Thankfully he was in my held arms as this happened so I caught it. Can’t say this is was due because I was holding him or not.Another update is that it started to rip on top. So I’ll downgrade this rating.Old review: We love this for our dachshund for a couple of reasons. First, it’s a long enough to cover majority of my doxie’s back. Second, since our dogs are already so low, the front floater is essential for our babies to keep their head more afloat with support. I would say though that you should fasten the velcro higher than you usually would to ensure better support when swimming. Fasten it more than you would in all the straps. Third, I think the material is solid and keeps afloat.As always, NEVER leave your dog unattended, ESPECIALLY for dachshunds who are already height unique. I will say, because of the product design, there is always a possibly of the the front legs of the dachshund of becoming stuck in front part of the vest if they pick up their legs too high (this is a possibility for any design similar to this such as winter jackets) - that is why to always keep an eye on your baby and strap the velcro higher.For the company, if you can make the back even slightly longer for our dachshunds that would be great. Otherwise, it works well!

Worth every penny.Bought this for our mini bernadoodle puppy Ollie. He hates anything wrapped around his body but was quite ok with this vest. The size chart was right on the money so fits him perfectly. I feel it adds just enough boyance to keep him safe in the water. There is an under chin part that helps him keep his head up high from waves. Highly recommend.

I bought this one when my Xoloitzcuintli was 12 weeks old as shown in the picture. I loved it so much that I bought one for my Pitbull and my Xoloitzcuintli now that she's full size. I totally recommend it!

I was a bit nervous to use this at the lake, my pup had never been in the water before but it held him up great & he didn’t mind having it on! The rescue handles worked great. 10/10 recommend (For reference I ordered a Large)

My dog loves it and previously would not swim. Now she does! She fell off the pier last week and this totally saved her. Reason for the 3 stars and not 5 is that the stitching on the life jacket has started to pull out. :( See pic.
