Outward Hound Neoprene Dawson Swimmer Dog Life Jacket

We have a 65 lb staffy-boxer mix that loves the water, but is top heavy and sometimes struggles to keep her head above the water when swimming in the wavy lake. This life jacket keeps her buoyant, and the handle on the back allows us to help guide her when needed. Based on the measurement chart she was in between a large and XL; we went with the large and it is a perfect fit! Definitely recommend if your dog could use some help staying afloat. :)

We ordered a medium(21"-27") for a dog with a 24" girth. This thing is massive! Unfortunately the chest strap does not sit properly and is a choke risk whilst in use. Luckily I was able to customize the entire thing to fit my dog. I would suggest you order a size down. Always leave room for error but this fit on my 30" chest dog with room to spare! It works for now, will not buy again.

I carefully took my dog's measurements as per the advertisement for this product and ordered a Small. The jacket I received was marked Small but fits my dog like a bed sheet, even on the tightest possible settings. The straps that go under the dog's belly are very time-consuming to work with. They have a very strange velcro tip on them that is a joke to try to work with. My dog seemed very startled by the smell or feel of this jacket.

We have a foster chihuahua who is rehabbing MPL surgery on her back right leg. Improvements post surgery have been very slow and a friend offered their jacuzzi for water therapy. I researched vests to support her as her front right leg is due for amputation due to being shattered in a car accident. So what would give proper support to a 2.5 legged chihuahua? We have had 4 sessions and this vest has been great. I never let her go in the water because of her injuries and the handle is super helpful. Otherwise it seems to give her the right amount of buoyancy to keep her head up but still require her legs to really kick. She’s not loving the water but is cooperating and the results have been We have a foster chihuahua who is rehabbing MPL surgery on her back right leg.

She’s not loving the water but is cooperating and the results have been a game changer in regaining full use of her back right leg. Per sizing, she is a 10lb dog with a 16.5” chest circumference. So her weight is an XS, and her chest size is a Small. Per another reviewer I chose the XS to match her weight. This was the right call and the vest has plenty of room for her. … more

I haven't used the product yet but the quality is really good and it fits my dog perfectly! Can't wait to use it.

The vest ripped after it was worn twice. Glad she wasn’t relying on it to save her life. I want to return this item

Took fur babies on their first ever float trip. While Lilbit is not a big fan of water, the jacket fit well, easy to adjust, and light enough for our fur baby. She was able to move with no problems.

I am so shocked at how well this jacket works! I have a 130 lb St. Bernard who I am training to get used to water so I can better exercise her hips. I ordered this jacket and was pretty skeptical that it would work for her size, but it keeps her whole body afloat in the water so she can freely work her legs. This is some of the best money I have spent in a long time, and it's a great price. Highly recommend, even for big dogs!

This vest is great! I love the back handle for helping my puppy get out of the pool. She's not sure she likes the water yet - but she'll get there with the help of this great vest!!!!

This life jacket is very well made and nice and lightweight for Kayaking. I ordered the extra small size and it is too big for my 11# King Charles Cavalier puppy...I hope she will grow into it.
