Go, June, Go!!!
By Bandy on Sep 8, 2021
Our dog June always loved swimming. We are fortunate enough to have a good friend who invites us over to use her pool, and June has always been welcomed. This summer, we noticed that June was hesitant to get in the pool. When she did, it was apparent that her aging back legs had become weaker, and it appeared that she was struggling to keep her head above the water. In order to make June feel safe and continue to enjoy swimming, we purchased the Outward Hound life jacket. It is fairly easy to get on and off, and when wearing it, June is totally buoyant and happy in the pool. Chewy.com made the transaction (even though I originally ordered the wrong size) very convenient and simple. I Our dog June always loved swimming.

Expected much better
By laneyd on Aug 16, 2021
My dog, being a staffy, is not a strong swimmer, so I bought this based on reviews. I held off writing a review until I used it a few times, and I’m very disappointed. Aside from the fact that it does not come with a leash attachment (even wearing a life jacket, I keep him on a 30’ leash, so I bought a carabiner to attach to the handle), the neck piece does nothing to keep his head afloat and the clip on one of the belly straps is already failing. With several weeks of summer and swimming ahead of us, I have to buy a new life jacket. Perhaps this jacket doesn’t work well for dense, big-chested breeds with short legs.

I created a sea monster!
By Dan0 on Jul 28, 2021
Otis has always been a big fan of water, but never really liked to go where his paws couldn't touch ground. Until now! My boy has been a swimming fool since we got this jacket! Overall, this is a great jacket! It seems to be well constructed, it keeps him afloat, and the handles are strong enough to scoop this 60+ lb goofball into the boat. The reason I'm only giving it 4 stars is because of the neck flap, and the flimsy buckles. The neck flap is not adjustable. After I adjusted the vest, it was only partially under his neck, mainly pushing on the side of his face. He kept trying to bite it so I just cut it off. The buckles though... I just don't see them lasting very long. They feel as flimsy Otis has always been a big fan of water, but never really liked to go where his paws couldn't touch ground. Until now!

Works great!
By Chelsea on Aug 16, 2021
We live on a lake so having a good life jacket for our pup was critical. The Outward Hound life jacket fits great, is super easy to put on and take off, and has the additional handle feature which is really helpful for loading onto the boat. Even when it's wet, the life jacket seems to be comfortable and our pup never fights putting it on. Especially considering the price, I would recommend this product to all puppy parents that want to keep their dog safe near water.

I expected A MUCH BETTER PRODUCT!!!!
By cattree on Jul 18, 2021
I am going to attempt Dock Diving with my Bloodhound and the first step is swimming lessons. Since this breed is NOT built for swimming, I bought her a life jacket. Outward Hound is usually a good brand, but not this time!!! My dog has now been to 5 swim classes (each about 15 minutes in water time) conducted in a pool - no lake or river where the jacket could get caught on something. At the 2nd class, the front of the jacket started coming apart. When putting it on her for her 5th lesson, I saw the part going under her belly coming apart, and ripped a little! Very disappointed and wishing I had not wasted the money as I will now have to go purchase her another one!

Nice life vest, but sizing was off
By Swimteam on Aug 7, 2021
This life vest was recommended by a fellow mini dachshund owner but when we followed the size chart ordering this one (our dog has 14" chest girth and weights 12lbs so we ordered the XS) it is laughably small, there is no way it will fit on her and definitely would not keep her afloat - it looks like it's for a 5lb dog only. The vest we received is labeled XS so I don't know maybe the size chart is just wrong about who it will fit. Chewy was great about the return though, so we found a different life vest for her.

Perfect for corgis
By Sammy on Sep 15, 2021
My dog is a corgi and I was torn between getting the medium or the small. I went with the medium for the length and glad I did. It fit him perfectly and was easy to get on him. Would highly recommend. PS: weight wise he is a small

Didn’t last long
By Farsch on Aug 8, 2021
I purchased this lifevest in March getting ready for the summer season at the lake. Our 9 lb. dog has worn this probably 15 times and the seams are ripping across the back where the handle is attached so that you can lift the dog up out of the water. Very disappointing. Otherwise it seems like a good life vest but I’m going to see if they will exchange it. It should last more than a few months.

Definitely worth the purchase!
By Chevythedalmatian on Aug 10, 2021
We took our dalmatian out on the boat for the first time and purchased a life jacket. He first of all looked very handsome in it, but also it made us feel safe for our pup. He finally got the courage to jump in and he swam around like a pro. This product made me worry less and enjoy more.

Gave my dog confidence swimming
By szmill on Aug 3, 2021
This life jacket is well made and fits. You really need to measure your dog's girth accurately. My dog has a 30" girth and weighs 70 lbs. I bought a Large. It fits her but does not seem to have the 2" for comfort mentioned in the size chart. I bought an XL in a different brand and it was way too big so glad this works and gives her a confidence boost swimming in the lake.
