To measure length, have your pup stand upright. Measure the distance between the base of his neck (where his head joins his body) and the base of his tail (where his tail connects to his body). To measure neck, measure the circumference of your pup's neck at its widest point (where his neck meets his body) while he is standing. Note that this measurement is for dog clothing, not for collars. To measure girth (chest), as your pup stands, place one end of the measuring tape on his spine behind his shoulders. Wrap the tape around the widest part of his rib cage, up to the other side of his body, and back to his spine where the tape starts.
| Size | Length | Neck | Girth | Pet Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 12 to 14 inches | 8 to 10 inches | 16 to 20 inches | 15 to 30 pounds pounds |
| Medium | 14 to 16 inches | 10 to 14 inches | 21 to 27 inches | 30 to 55 pounds |
| Large | 16 to 19.5 inches | 14 to 18 inches | 28 to 32 inches | 55 to 85 pounds |
| X-Large | 19.5 inches and up | 13.5 inches and up | 33 to 40 inches | 85 to 100 pounds |
Please make sure to measure your pet for the best possible fit. If your pet measures between two sizes, we advise ordering the larger of the two.

I had not spent any lake/river time with my current pups. I purchased two extra large life jackets for my 78 lb, 9 year old Samoyed and my 79 lb, 15 month old Great Dane/Great Pyrenees pup. The fit was great-very secure, and allowed me to take them in water I could stand in and train them to swim around me. By the 4th time they were going in by themselves. Neither dog minded wearing the life jacket either. Highly recommend!

We bought these mainly because of the handles and bright orange colors. We haven't brought our dogs on a boat before so we wanted to be able to easily get them out of the water if they jumped in. We also kept them on when they went swimming so it was easy to see them. We got a small for our terrier mix. He's not the best at swimming and when his nose goes under he starts to panic but the head floaty on this did a great job of keeping his head up. Our lab pointer mix got an xl because of her rib size. The only negative I can say about this is that the head floater on the xl was much too small to aid keeping her head up. She is 70 pounds and picking her up by the handles was very easy. We worried We bought these mainly because of the handles and bright orange colors.

They were easy to adjust to each dogs' specific body measurements. … more

I was looking online for a nice Life Jacket for when I took my Puppy fishing. I saw some for $50 and more. Then I saw this vest and I fell in love with it! It's nice and light so the material isn't hot. But I love the fact that there's a neck part so if your dog goes into the water they won't be butt heavy. And the handles on the top were perfect for when my puppy jumped into the water but had trouble getting back into the boat. We just grabbed the handles at the top and pulled her on!

I have a Dachshund mix, and she's oddly shaped, so it's hard sometimes to buy her things. She falls between most sizes, she's 14 inches long, has a 12.5 inch neck and an 18 inch girth. I bough her a medium, because other reviews said to buy bigger, but she was swimming in it (no pun intended). Chewy of course was awesome and sent me a small one, which fits her perfectly. She's all ready to go kayaking! I would recommend to anyone else with odd dog dimensions, the 10 inch neck it says on this is not a tight 10. It fits her fat neck just fine, and could probably fit a bigger one. Love Chewy!

My 4 monh old 55lbs newfoundland pup loves the water.. we live on a pond and by 10 weeks he found the water on his own and charged rigjt in. We love to kayak so with safety in mind purchased the life jacket in large and couldn't be happier. Fits great with room to grow. Boone has jumped out of the kayak and now I can calmly assist him back in after his swim with the handles on the back . Great tool for our lifestyle

I first found this from a FBRN page that said they work great for French Bulldogs. Given their front heavy nature and the fact their little bodies are hard to fit with items, I was pleasantly surprised by the fit. The little flotation bar that goes under the chin is what sold me on this. Just a little extra to keep the head above water and the heavy end up. The chest area, is velcro AND straps with plastic snaps. The medium fit my 30lb female perfectly. ( she is the European body Frenchie: slightly longer back, xl chest with slim waist). This fit my Male Frenchie perfectly too, he has a similar body shape with a smaller chest but larger head.

The handles seem strong as I was able to lift her up with no straining on the vest or straps. Haven't tested in the water yet... will update once we do that test. Buying a house with a pool. … more

I have been looking for several months at getting my 3 legged friend a life jacket, but couldn't get myself to buy one since they're generally pretty pricey. A few days ago I decided to order this one because the good reviews and price- i am very pleased! I decided to order the large and I was worried it may be too big (was out of town so couldn't measure) but it fits him excellent. Thunder is a border collie mix with queensland heeler and was 50 lbs prior to his amputation, so for that size dog I think it is perfect. Going to the lake soon to try it out!

My dog has never been in a pool before so I bought this so he could feel comfortable going in and used to it. (He has high anxiety so I wanted it to be a good experience) While he hasn’t fallen in love with the pool yet, he definitely seemed more at ease when we brought him in. Kept him above water enough so he didn’t freak out and sink. Tried it on my other dog that knows how to swim. He barely noticed it but still worked

First time in my new pool, or any pool for that matter. Got to admit I feel pretty comfy in this jacket. It fits securely around me and is a "snap" to put on. I think my owners would like the cushion under my head to be a little bigger, because I keep drinking the pool water;) Pretty sure this swimming thing is going to be happening alot!!

We usually go paddle boarding and kayak in Annapolis MD and this life jacket is awesome because we all can have fun, especially Rosie that loves water. It has handles that really helps to grab her when she wants to get back to the kayak or paddle board. Great product!
