🐾 Optimized Pet Life Jacket by Paws Aboard Review

Bought this for our 1 year old black lab to use as a safety measure on lakes. He is a strong dog (about 85 pounds) and has many puppies left in him. The vest fit well and was big enough. However, when we attempted to use the leash on the first day before going in the water, the threads broke rendering the leash connection unusable. The company very well offered to immediately replace it with a new one. So far the stitching is holding up on the new one, but we're more careful not to unravel it…

So I received this jacket today and this is the fourth jacket I have ordered for my Goldendudel who has a very deep chest and very narrow stomach area. Everyone else couldn't fit in without a huge gap across their backs. Its fit can be adjusted and it feels very comfortable around you. The handle also seems very secure as I can see a poorly sewn edge where it could easily tear so I'll do a bit of sewing tonight to hopefully help with this issue. Will update after a week as she will be using it…

Super great well made product. This was our third purchase of a neoprene life jacket. Now all three of our Labradoodles have their own. You can adjust them to fit snugly, or leave them a little looser for the more confident swimmer. Our youngest, Doc, our 85 lb pup, doesn't want to swim and is still a bit scared of the water. We chose a third because we were planning a trip to the lake with all three. Anyone who thinks a dog is in the water will understand, think again. About a year ago Doc…

Suitable for fit (size = large) and design. My 75lb German Shepherd loves it and even seems to prefer swimming in it. The ability to adjust to a snug fit with neoprene seems to give it extra warmth even in cold water. It seems to offer enough buoyancy in calm water, but in water with around 30cm waves it seems like it offers some drag when it gets tired. I have a second, different brand and I double it when I kayak it and maybe we hit bigger water further offshore. Doubling seems to work. I…

This is a regular lifejacket. This would be fine for small or small to medium sized breeds under 35 pounds that aren't athletic and you're just trying to prevent accidental drowning and they hang out in the water but don't necessarily swim. This is not good for medium or large deep-chested breeds, and especially not for active dogs. There are design flaws, but it's well done. The front bib tucks into the sleeve on the opposite side with a buckle that doesn't stay in place and quickly detaches…
