What's the difference between the ruffwear k9 floatcoat and the 74.99 eddy jacket?
my dog is a 96 lb. sheperd and can swim but we want to be extra safe but want the best jacket for him.

I was wondering the same thing. According to the Ruffwear website, the Portage jacket is: Great for calm water activities, or for dogs who are less buoyant and/or new to the water. Intended Uses: Canoeing Recreational Paddling Lake Swimming Sailing The Big Eddy one is: Ideal for active canines who frequent the water, it is designed for aggressive swimmers in rough or fast-moving water, day or night. Intended Uses: Kayaking Rafting Boating Surfing Paddle Boarding http://www.ruffwear.com/Products/dog_life_jackets Hope that helps! I think the Portage Float Coat is perfect for what our lab will be doing.
