Frisco Neoprene Dog Life Jacket

I read the reviews on this vest. I bought an x-small for my 9 lb Yorkie. Fits perfectly! Highly recommend! We went camping/canoeing for a week and had no issues at all. Drys and cleans very well. Love it!!

My dog is built a little like a buffalo, out-of-proportionally large around the girth . I got a medium vest and I think she's between M and S. Used it today for the first time and it worked great. She likes to go out on the surfboard and the handle that is parallel to the dog rather than perpendicular makes fishing her out of the water easier. My only thought is that I think the ripstop nylon vests might dry faster; hers is hanging with my wetsuit and we'll see.

Seems like a well-made vest, but my dog literally "swims" in it. I followed the measurement directions but, being a Rat Terrier with a very deep chest, he is hard to fit. I'm returning it.

Our Shelties love to play in water but are tentative about swimming. These vests gave them the confidence to relax in the water instead of struggling to swim with all that hair. I ordered "medium" for our 22 pounder and "large" for our 35+ pound boys but the medium works fine for them, too, at this point. Our bigger boys are still less than a year old and will have another year or so of filling out to do so they will end up needing the larger size in the future, as the velcro flaps on the medium are just long enough to go around their bodies right now. We love the double handles on the back of these vests, useful to steer them around when they are swimming with us and the two handles make Our Shelties love to play in water but are tentative about swimming.

The plastic leash ring is fine for our crowd, they don't strain on their leashes, but I wouldn't trust it with a larger dog. … more

This life jacket is great for small dogs! Great fit, true to size and easy to get on!

My pup is a 6 month Dutch Shepherd/Border Collie mix. His chest is 19 ½ inches, his neck is 11 ½ inches, his back length is 17 inches. He weighs around 20 lbs. I live near Lake Michigan, and there are often rip current warnings. My pup is a strong swimmer, if a bit nervous sometimes. This jacket is for my peace of mind, and if he is ever grabbed by a rip current I will be able to see where he comes up. I'm not sure if it keeps him warm or not, but it's super cute and he gets so many compliments.

I purchased this life jacket for my 9 lb mixed breed dog (Chiweenie/Jack Russell). He is terrified of the pool so we hold him while he is wearing this life jacket. He isn't doing any swimming on his own right now (not sure if he ever will be capable given his size) but it's for safety and to hopefully help him feel secure while he gets acquainted with being in the water. The jacket fits ok except I can barely get the velcro to fasten across his chest. Luckily there are two clips that fasten it securely. The next size up does not fit safely around his neck and arms (already tried that and it's way too big). For our purposes, it is an adequate fit for a mixed breed with in between measurements.

Bought this vest for our year and half black lab mix, Frisco. He likes the water, but only if he doesn't have to swim. This vest is great for teaching him to swim and be calm in the water. We use it in the pool and the handles at the top are great for guiding him and helping him get onto a float. The vest is well made and sturdy. I anticipate to get many years of use out of it. Additionally, I really like how the velcro under the belly lines up perpendicular.

This life jacket is sharp looking! Does the job keeping our pup afloat after hours of fetching/swimming. We have some jagged rocks on our shore and the jacket hasn't gotten snagged or torn once. Our dog ranges from 50-55 lbs and large fit perfect once we strapped it to its tightest. The handle on the back came in handy in so many locations as well! I took him SUP boarding and the few times we tipped or wanted to take a dip all I had to do was get back on, call him over, and then pick him up like a suitcase. Super easy and worth every penny. Sizing chart was true to size. Give a hoot, don't pollute.

This a great life vest! It’s true to size, based on the measurements. I ordered a medium for Gem, who is recovering from FHO surgery. Pool therapy is a great way to help her regain use of her leg and build muscle. The handles on the back of the life vest make it super easy to lift her in and out of the pool. I just clip her leash to the D-ring that is attached, and walk along the side of the pool (when I don’t feel like getting in with her). The attached chin piece keeps her muzzle lifted out of the water. This is lower in cost than some, with better construction and features that higher priced ones. Thank you Chewy, for carrying this item!
