Love this dog lifevest!

Absolutely worth the money, we have one that is a decade old and we’re still using it. Liked it so much we bought a 2nd one for our new pup! We have 2 Labrador retrievers about 65-70lbs. The handle is so sturdy which is good to lift our labs in & out of the boat. They’re slim fitting so the dogs don’t mind wearing them (they still run around in them) and the best part is that they keep my dogs afloat which is their primary job. Don’t give it a 2nd thought, buy them!

Pros
  • This fit my 8 lb chihuahua and made him very bouyant!
Cons
  • It limits the dog's movement while swimming

Highly recommend Ruffwear

I bought the older style of the Ruffwear Float Coat in a Medium for another dog years ago and now that my current dog is grown, we bought the new style in a Large. I don't dare give the medium away because it's in excellent condition after many uses and I have it on hand for fur friends to borrow. The new style is still very simple to fit and take on and off. My dogs have been very good swimmers but I want them to be comfortable, visible and safe while we kayak or paddle board in rivers and…

Pros
  • Reduces the risk of drowning for dogs and humans alike
Cons
  • It may be too loose for some dogs

Good Quality and fit

I purchased two different vests and this one by far was easier to put on then the other so we immediately decided to keep this one even though it was twice the price. The L was a great fit for my pitbull terrier mix. I measured his chest around 32 and his neck about 20 inches and decided on the large. The quality seemed very good. And it actually ended up saving our dogs life or at least a major trip to an emergency vet during a FLOAT TRIP. We were able to use the handle and pull him up out of…

Pros
  • Rides slightly high between her chest and neck
Cons
  • It may become tangled in underwater obstacles

Loves to swim on my review.

Bought this product for our labrador, she needs knee surgery , and the doctors didn’t want her jumping into the pool , but also getting out all the time, just to jump back in . Jumping is a big no-no.So we bought this product so that I can teach her she can stay in for a while and swim and swim and when she’s worn out we get her out, then she stays out.We also use this at the lake where she can fetch a stick and go way out without getting tired. It’s great exercise but because of her knee, it…

Pros
  • Offers extra protection for water-loving breeds
Cons
  • It may not be suitable for dogs who are not good swimmers

Exactly what is needed

This supports my 10 month old Lhasa Apso puppy in the water for her physiotherapy sessions to exercise her leg after surgery. Very happy with the product. (Bought a second one for the other puppy so they can safely play with us in the pool together). There are cheaper items out there but this one holds their heads and faces out of the water and supports their little bodies so no fear of sinking for them. Size XS was exactly right for them.

Pros
  • Promotes healthy exercise and activity for your dog
Cons
  • It may not provide enough flotation for very small dogs

Seems to run small good for me

They look great. I bought 2 of these for my labs so they can be more safe out on the water. Their chest is 29" in diameter so I thought the mediums would fit. Though I could have made them fit by adjusting the straps, it would have left a portion of their belly exposed and not covered by the life vest, which would seem to hinder floatation and also allow for rubbing of straps on their belly or things getting caught. I have reordered in large and will update my review whe

Pros
  • It fits well. Worth the extra for the quality
Cons
  • It might not be available in all sizes

Buy this one on my review.

This unnecessarily expensive life jacket is somehow still worth the money.When we go to water that isn’t our pool, I always put a life jacket on my dog. As she’s outgrown her others, this is her third jacket - first of this model.They all hold her up - they’re made of buoyant materials after all, but this one is exceptional in that it supports all parts of her body rather than just her chest. I have never felt so confident with her swimming in a wavy ocean than I did when she wore this life…

Pros
  • Provides peace of mind for dog owners
Cons
  • It may not come with a warranty

LOVE IT! BUY NOW! best in my review

LOVE this life jacket! I take my 90 lbs dog swimming and boating all of the time and this is the first life jacket that has genuinely been able to float him without restricting the movement of his legs! Plus it has a sturdy enough handle to actually pull him out of the water! And that’s unheard of! We’ve tried soo many life jackets and I can honestly say that I will only ever buy this brand!

Pros
  • Improved fit: Our new PVC-free GAIA foam panels are soft, comfortable, and designed to wrap around and move with your dog; Their strategic placement supports a natural swimming position
Cons
  • It may make the dog feel insecure

Perfect Doggo Life Jacket!

Absolutely love this life jacket for our doggo! We have a mini Australian Shepherd 38 lbs and she measures as a Ruffwear Small. All their products, including this one, are true to size in our experience. Our dog loves swimming and though she can swim without a jacket, she has much more fun (and I feel much better) when she wears her lifejacket. This one is very comfortable on her and I like the simplicity of it, it doesn't get in her way when she is running around. One thing I love about…

Pros
  • Lifejackets
Cons
  • It may not be as stylish as other dog life jackets on the market

BEST life jacket - my new review

I tried numerous brands of dog life jackets and Ruffwear is by far the best. My dog is a terrible swimmer and this one keeps her completely afloat.

Pros
  • Reinforced stitching for added durability
Cons
  • It may not be available in all pet stores

it works great .: my feedback

intentionally bought a size up from what she is currently because she is growing so fast. love the ease of use and colors are a bonus. "it works great for us!"

Pros
  • Bright red color for increased visibility
Cons
  • It might not be able to withstand all types of water conditions

Easy on easy off in my review

This does the job. Keeps my dog afloat, she doesn’t seem to mind it, and it’s easy to put on and takeoff. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • Dogs
Cons
  • It may not be compatible with all types of leash attachments

Absolutely worth the money! Made well. Boxers are front heavy so this vest was just perfect! Kept their heads up high. Only recommendation is if you are right at the end of the girth mark get sizr down. My boys girth was 32 so I got a medium! You won't be sorry for spending the money on these!

Pros
  • Molded foam panels for a comfortable fit
Cons
  • It may not have enough visibility in low light conditions
