We got one of these for our golden, who would live in the water if he could. We simply cannot keep him out of the water without tying him down. This jacket was a great solution to our problem. Now it doesn't matter how tired he gets! We just bought a second for our lab for this upcoming summer. The hook on the back of the jacket works great for lifting into the boat too. A great product, two thumbs up!

I bought two of them one for my Rott and one for my shelty.
Best thing I ever did, Both dog's swam but were alittle afraid
and now with the jacket's they just jump in and take off.
They are very well made and support the dog's better than I expected

We love the grab handle which is invaluable when hoisting a big wet dog into the raft. We like the vest, although the dog doesn't seem to so much, but hey, he's a dog. No complaints

This is a great fit for my dog. He has shown no signs of any pain from the fit. He is 17lbs and I have him in a size XS.

The small size fit my 21 lb westie perfectly. The straps allow for a lot of adjusting. He doesn't seem to mind it too much. I'm very pleased with it.

This is a great vest, our pup doesn't even notice it's on. We haven't used it in the water yet so I will update the review once we do.

Bought a small for our sheltie based upon size chart. It looked like a postage stamp, so we upgraded to a medium. Much better. She never got in the water, but was comfortable and calm with it on for many hours of paddling and portaging.

I'm a triathlete and I go out for open water swims with my lab, Frank. I love it when she swims right beside me, but I found that when we'd get out a good distance from the shore, even though she's a born waterdog, she'd panic a little bit and try to crawl up on me. It wasn't a huge problem, but it disrupted my stroke and her nails put holes in my wetsuit. So I bought her her own "wetsuit" to give her a little extra confidence in the water. It's very adjustable so it fits well around her little body and there's a great pocket in the back for her ball. Now I can swim for miles and not have to worry about her or my wetsuit.
