Review on Gooby Padded Vest Dog Jacket - Solid Pink, Medium - Warm Zip Up Dog Vest Fleece Jacket With Dual D Ring Leash - Water Resistant Small Dog Sweater - Dog Clothes For Small Dogs Boy And Medium Dogs by Jeremy Flint

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great coat, incorrect sizing chart - Edit: needs stronger D-links and better armhole seams

Sizing chart is off. The medium was far too large for my 3 month old boston terrier.despite measuring her. I purchased the small and it fit great. Will save the medium for when she grows into it. The coat is excellent quality and the fact that it doubles as a harness makes it really convenient for quick winter walks when neither of us wants to be outside. Have been using it everyday for a month and the coat is still like new despite my pup attacking it everytime I take it off of her. Would've given 5 stars if the sizing chart was accurate.Edit (2018-01-13): I originally purchased this in December 2016. The medium did not originally fit my Boston Terrier puppy, so I kept the medium and ordered a small. The small fit her perfect and she grew out of it before the end of her first winter. The medium then fit her perfectly and still does 1 year later. After one winter the coat started to tear at the bottom of the "armpit". Since then the tear has made it halfway to becoming a complete rip. This was not a problem to me and was likely due to the way my pup will yoke her leash taught at full running speed when she has a FRAP. The coat finally failed this week. First 1 of the D-links became severed and fell off. So I ordered a new coat (same one) at that point and continued to take her out using the remaining D-link. One day later, her pulling caused the fabric holding the remaining D-link clean off. Luckily my pup is well behaved and just followed me back to the house afterwards (I'm just glad we didn't see any bunnies)I am very happy with this product and it's durability for the price. Less than $30 for 1.5 winter seasons (plus whenever it was cold or raining in Fall) is certainly fair. I would rate this 5 stars at this point, however I do believe the D-links should be made thicker or out of a stronger metal. The absolute last thing some people want is their dog getting out of their harness. I got a $10 harness for her at Wal-Mart for the Spring / Summer and the D-links on that are over 4 times as thick and made out of stainless steel. Now, I don't think the D-links need to be made that thick, as it's a bit hard to get my leash latched through them; but twice as thick and made out of a better material would be nice.If you have a dog that will not come when you call it, I would definitely not recommend using this with only one D-link. The stitching is not meant to handle the load when not shared across both D-links.Also a stronger seam around the arm holes would be nice too.Edit (2021-10-02): every year the D-links break. My pup now fits a large since last winter and either they fixed the issues I've complained about or the large is built more sturdy. The D-links are much thicker (probably 2.5x - 3x thicker) and made of stainless steel. I don't forsee this ever getting destroyed now.
