Precautions
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.
Hand wash cold with mild detergent. Do not bleach. Hang to dry. Wash separately.
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.
Body: Measure the base of the neck to the base of the tail.
Neck: Measure the circumference of pet's neck for a snug fit as you would with a collar.
Chest: Measure your dog's chest around the widest part. No need to add additional inches.

Frisco lifejackets are made in China and designed and tested to meet our high-quality standards.
What is the best way to measure dog for the best fit?
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. To measure the chest girth you'll measure at the broadest part of the chest behind the front legs and to measure for the neck girth you'll measure at the broadest part of the neck. 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 my dog is in between sizes, how should I choose the best size?

What is the best way to clean?

1. Is the neck adjustable?
2. This is rated as low movement/flexibility but looks less bulky that others I've seen. Is is very bulky and awkward?

On the front, there’s an adjustable, telescoping neck closure to help you get a comfortable fit for your dog. This is designed as a life jacket and will be a bit bulky to ensure buoyancy.
We haven't had a chance to check the flotation on this, but puppy seems comfortable in it and it fits on the tightest setting with room to grow. I just wish the excess neck strapping had a place to tuck in. Puppers wants to chew it off. Since he is 6 months old and 15.5 pounds, I don't want to cut the excess. We are looking forward to trying this out kayaking and boating soon!

undecided on this item
Ordered two life jackets for our two rescue Chuweenies, one of whom is 10 lbs, the other 20 lbs. Can't seem to get either one to fit properly, still trying. Don't like the straps hanging down even after tightening to the end. Will probably return both. (Do dogs even need life jackets? Our past dogs of the same weights and conformation were able to swim just fine without any assistance.)

Dog life jacket is inadequate based on my opinion
It's a nice life jacket but the dog's mouth is at the water level which makes him very nervous.
He can swim but I bought the jacket to keep him from being stressed out when he is in the water.

My Frenchbull dog life vest
My granddaughter put it on her and took her in the pool. She loved the jacket and I loved how it helped keep the water out of her ears

My Westie puppy loves the pool but since he is only 4 months old, I wanted a life jacket for him until he is grown. This jacket was perfect for him.

impressed so far
I had my doubts bout ordering this bc it was so much cheaper then the other but let me tell you I’m very impressed so far! The material is the same as if I bought a $20 vest. I love the double handles they are very comfortable to hold. I wish I would have went up a size bigger but it’s okay I still have some let out room! I love the leash hook and I love how it’s double supported under the belly and I love the mesh pockets perfect for his info card to fit into just incase someone needed it! So far I’m very very impressed can’t wait to use it this weekend <3 <3
Milo is a 4.5 month old 40lb lab
This is a medium it’s velcro to the max and the buckles are let half way out!
