Frisco Ripstop Dog Life Jacket
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
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 for flexible movement with safety in mind, this life jacket has a front panel with a flotation flap and thick 20mm foam side panels to help keep their head above water. 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 them 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.
Key Benefits- Sleek design allows your pet to move comfortably in the water. Four reflective accents and bright color offer increased visibility so you can always spot your pet in and out of the water.
- Designed with 20mm thick foam panels for buoyancy. Front panel has a flotation flap that helps support your dog's head and keep it above water.
- Three adjustable straps with side-release buckles help you get the perfect fit for comfort and safety.
- Grab handle on top lets you quickly and easily pull your pet out of the water in the case of an emergency. A D-ring on the back allows you to attach a leash when necessary.
- To find the right jacket for your pup, measure their chest, neck and weight. Then, compare their measurements to the size chart and the Maximum Buoyant Weight listed.
This life jacket is a flotation aid intended for dogs only. Always supervise your dog when using this product and use only in calm waters. The jacket's top handles should be used to lift your dog during an emergency only and are not intended for excessive use.
TIPS: for first time users, start by putting the life jacket on for short durations at a time and encourage your dog by giving treats. Ensure fit is snug. This life jacket does not need to fit the entire length of your dog for it to perform as intended.
For the best fit, we recommend selecting the size based on your pet's chest measurement. Once you have determined the correct size, you should then reference the weight the life jacket can safely support. If your pet falls somewhere between two sizes, we advise ordering the larger of the two.
Please keep in mind, pups come in all shapes and sizes so your unique pup's breed size may not directly reflect our size naming.
Additional Details: For the best fit, please be sure to measure your dog carefully before selecting a size. The sizing chart image provides exact measurements by size and general recommendations by breed. Please supervise your pet while wearing this item.

Dive Into the Fun
Frisco Dog Life Jackets fuse function and comfort to make water adventures with your pooch more fun and safe. They provide everything water-loving dogs need to make a splash during playtime, like buoyancy to keep them confidently afloat, a snug yet comfy fit so they can move freely while they play, and safety features to keep them secure in any aquatic environment.
Designed for Buoyancy, Safety and Comfort
The Frisco Dog Life Jacket provides buoyancy for dogs up to the recommended weight, so they'll be ready to dive into playtime at the pool, lake or beach! Created with canine comfort in mind, the front panel features a supportive flap that rests under your pup's chin to help him hold his head above the water with less effort. That means your pooch can hang out in the water with more confidence and ease, whether he's all about the doggy paddle or just gently floating and soaking up the sun.
The Right Fit for Water-Loving Dogs
Because dogs come in all shapes and sizes, the Frisco Dog Life Jacket is designed with three adjustable straps and side-release buckles for a snug, comfy and secure fit for all breeds. And no matter your dog's favorite swim style, he can enjoy plenty of freedom to move with the non-restricting design that allows for a comfortable range of motion—in and out of the water. Plus, it's available in various sizes for splashing fun of all proportions.
Safety Is Built In
If an emergency ever comes up, you can gain control of your pooch with the built-in grab handle on the top—larger sizes have dual handles— designed for quickly pulling your dog out of the water. For those times when you need to keep your pooch close by, the integrated D-ring lets you leash up swiftly. To keep your pup safe during evening water activities, the Frisco Dog Life Jacket features increased-visibility reflective accents for added safety in low-light conditions.

Seems like a well made PFD
By Koinz on Feb 28, 2021
I used the sizing chart. My dogs have large chests and necks, so I ordered xl size for each of my dogs. Not sure, but I think a Large size would have worked. The buckle strap, pulled as tight as it would go with pfd still a little loose, maybe that’s ok I’m thinking the Large might fit a little more on the snug side. May consider returning the xl for L. Shipping is super fast. Ordered one day and had them the next day.

Chewy always stands behind their product!
By Waylon on Feb 28, 2021
Accidentally ordered the wrong size and chewy sent a replacement and asked me to donate the other. Such a great company! Excited to use the vest this summer so our rescue can learn to swim. Never go to the pet store anymore, chewy gets the products to you usually within a day and stands behind everything they sell!

Not quite small enough
By Notquite on Feb 7, 2021
This a good quality it seems. However our 15lb pomeranian was not quite big enough for the medium size and we didn't care for the under chin floatation. We will return for something else.

Great water vest
By Decorator on Jan 1, 2021
I bought this vest for my Labrador to use at our Lakehouse. It’s so comfortable and easy to use especially with the two handles that come with this one. My last one only had one handle and didn’t even last one day in the lake. The stitching and quality of this vest is much better

perfect for my new swimmer
By Linds on Dec 2, 2020
I bought this for my 5 month old goldendoodle puppy that just started swimming. We take her on the boat and paddle board but she’s not the strongest swimmer yet so I wanted something to keep her safe. She is 26 lbs and the large fit her a little oversized but will work fine right away. It should be perfect for her to grow in to! The fit is much better on this one compared to others I’ve seen. The back goes a little further back and it stays snug to her body.

Oh Lawd, He's Floatin'
By WildGoose on Oct 31, 2020
This life jacket is amazing quality for the price. The haul handles are strong and the stitching is neat. Our pup is extremely comfortable in it, to the point where he didn't want to take it off. It is lightweight and has a thin profile. Archie is shown wearing a Size Large, tightened all the way down. He's 30 pounds, but is very long and tall. Plus he's only 4 months old, so we wanted room to grow. Very impressed, will buy the next size up when it's time.

Runs small
By Rowdy on Jan 28, 2021
I ordered the large for my 65lb German Shepherd. The girth was fine but the neck was too short. I ended up having to get the XL.

Fits my 100lb+ dog
By Marie on Dec 2, 2020
I bought this because it has handles on the back to help me steady my elderly Rottweiler mix and help him up the stairs. I'm leaving this review because I know how difficult it is to find products that fit dogs over 100lbs.

makes dog feel safer swimming and makes me feel safer when kayaking
By simpqueen on Nov 19, 2020
in the summer we be doing alot and my dog thinks he can drink his way out of drowning instead of actually swimming, but this makes him float instead. only downside is the velcro on the bottom is almost impossible to get perfect

Life Jacket
By Claire on Oct 19, 2020
The life jacket is well fitting mainly due to the velcro enclosures and straps. My Claire is very chesty and thinner towards her hind legs. Love the handles - Claire's first experience on the boat so getting her on and off we had to almost carry her. Easy to put on; she was not hesitant as she is with other clothing we've tried on her.
