Remember to measure your pet for the paw-fect fit. If you're planning a day of water fun for you and your pup, give them the buoyancy they need with the Frisco Dog Life Jacket. Designed with safety in mind, this life jacket has a front panel with a flotation flap and thick 30mm foam side panels to help keep their head above water. There’s also neoprene included in the side panels for added buoyancy and insulation when the water’s chilly. A durable 3.4mm thick neoprene belly band and three adjustable straps with side-release buckles will help you get the best, snug fit to help ensure comfort and safety for your pup. There is also a grab handle on the top of the life jacket—larger sizes come with dual handles—so that you can use to pull your dog out of the water quickly in case of emergency. When traveling on dry land, there is a D-ring for leash attachment on the back of the life jacket. Be sure to weigh your pet and choose the size that matches the recommended weight range. This way, you can ensure that the life jacket will provide the proper level of buoyancy to keep your pet afloat.

Best fit for an oddly-shaped dog
By Margie on Dec 14, 2020
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.

My dog swims in it
By Mountaindogs2 on Jan 14, 2021
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.

Does the Trick!
By SheltiePups on Aug 12, 2020
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.

Peace of mind
By Breezy on Jul 31, 2020
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.

Is good enough for a fearful dog with in between measurments
By MLNJ on Jul 27, 2020
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.

Great vest
By adgy on Jul 27, 2020
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.

Mac can float now!!
By Lifejacket on Jul 12, 2020
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.

Great Dog Life Vest
By PamO on Jul 7, 2020
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!

Nice life jacket!
By Gckim on Aug 12, 2020
Fabulous material, feels super nice to touch. The lifejacket was a little large and we needed it for the lake last weekend. When we went to return the life jacket to Chewy, Chewy refunded us and told us to donate the life jacket to our closest shelter. So I plan to do just that! Chewy is absolutely amazing!! Wouldn’t buy my pet products anywhere else.
