Outward Hound Granby RipStop Dog Life Jacket

The size chart provided is completely off. Despite measuring (and remeasuring) my dog and and cross-referencing the sizing on a different piece of equipment my dog uses prior to purchase, it was comically small. The wide grey straps that should velcro under a dog's chest didn't meet. Fortunately, the straps for the clips could be loosened to secure the vest around the dog, but probably it's preferable to have everything secured around the dog. I would either consider sizing up or purchase a different life jacket from a more consistent and reliable brand.

Purchased for water loving Shih Poo puppies. They are @10 pounds and the Small fit them well. Life jackets went on and off very easily. I was able to put one on while kayaking when one of the puppies decided to swim after me! The other puppy fell off the kayak several times. She was wearing the life jacket so no stress and the handle on the back made it very easy to pull her up and back in.

As others have mentioned this does run small. I used someone else's review to gauge what size to get. My mutt is a wide around the chest, but has little legs. She's 40lbs and fell on the upper side of what someone had mentioned in their reivew of the medium. She probably could've used to the large. We mostly like that the handles make it easy to pull her in and out of the water.

This is the perfect life jacket for my 40 lb pup. He wears the medium and it fits him great! I really like the neoprene velcro liner that protect his underbelly when he is swimming and from the straps rubbing. The handles are super helpful for pulling him onto my paddle board after swimming and I have even carried him like a briefcase with them. The only thing I wish it had was a loop for his leash so I don’t have to keep it on his neck when he is swimming, but this was easily fixed by adding a carabiner to one of the handles.

I, like others, bought a medium according to the size chart. Measured several times, she’s a slender 40 lb Aussie who falls in the middle of the chart yet the straps were way too short. Going to get the large and hope for the best. Chewy’s customer service is awesome as usual.

Straps were a bit short for my chubby dog. Going by size chart, this should have been a good fit. We can strap it onto our dog, but the velcro will not fasten, due to her being chubby. Large would have been too long for her. Diet in the future, but not a great fit right now.

Worked perfect for our 6 month old pup. We took him to the lake, he was able to walk all the way from the trail to the lake in the vest, then ran right into the water and started doggie paddling. Easily took it off of him to dry out a little and chill, then easily put it back on him for another dip. Great fit, didn't hinder his swimming at all. Would definitely buy again when he grows out of this size.

While the life jacket itself seem well made and good quality the sizing is off. I ordered a medium because my dog is 40lbs with a girth size of 26, both within the range suggested for medium. However the belly flap couldn’t Velcro together, leaving my dog with an awkward piece of fabric hanging out the side. When I measured I discovered the Velcro will only work for dogs with a 25 inch girth or smaller. Medium jackets fit a girth if 21-25 not 21-27. I am disappointed I cannot try to see if a large fits (they are out of stock) because like I said it seemed like a well made jacket.

Terrible sizing. It said 30-50 lbs for medium. My dog is 35-40(she fluctuates). Got it. Tag says medium. Can't even put it on her. Could only close the throat outermost clip with nothing else secured.

The life jacket is adjustable around the tummy and neck which is perfect. I like the bright color and the handle on top. Not sure if it’s supposed to be that long, just seems oddly long. My dog is a size small and he’s a chihuahua mix probably 6-8 lbs.
