Outward Hound Granby RipStop Dog Life Jacket

I bought the large life jacket based on reviews. My dog is 49 pounds with a chest size of 27. Since she was in between sizes I opted for the larger size. It fits great! Tight enough yet plenty of room should she gain weight. Like that the bottom flaps totally overlap making it stronger. Tried it out on land, and I was able to lift her from the handles. It's not bulky either.

Well made. Size small fit my 10lb maltipoo. My dog hates getting more than his feet wet and I'm not even sure he knows how to swim, so I wanted to be extra safe when I brought him on a boat. I haven't tested the jacket in the water yet because luckily he didn't fall out of the boat. His body seems secure and the jacket doesn't slide around. My dog doesn't hate wearing it, so that's great.

Ordered a large based on the reviews and measurements. Fits perfectly for our pittie mix (45 lbs). Jacket had enough adjustments everywhere to give a secure fit for our skinny but muscular dog.

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.

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.

When picking a size you want to size up in these unless you have a skinny dog. I haven’t used it yet but seems to be a good quality and the handles seem sturdy.

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.

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.

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.
