Review on 🐢 Outward Hound Dog Life Jacket: Ensure Safety and Fun for Your Water-Loving Pooch! by Laura Adams

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great for large breeds/bad swimmers

I have an American Bulldog: 110 pounds, 36 inch chest, 18 months old. The XL vest fits him very well and keeps him afloat. compact, and it sinks better than it floats. We bought this jacket last summer when after a few tries with help we realized we just wanted to scare him of water. The life jacket works great and for a long time because he wears it he doesn't mind going in the pool Benefits: 1. Great for heavy large breed dogs 2. Works great when your pet needs more than a little extra reassurance (my friend drowned) year and it broke. If it needed to be salvaged it would cause a problem but for normal use and/or driving support. , it works as intended. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the buttons and stitching on the top handle. When the top handle broke I looked around for other vests and found one that I thought looked more durable. I tried it this afternoon and it barely fit (although I measured and deviated from their specs) and it couldn't support his weight (his back sagged). I returned it and bought a second Outward Hound.
