🐾 Paws Aboard: Dog Life Jacket Vest for Swimming and Boating - Boost It! Review

I used to buy this brand and loved it, but this particular jacket - not at all! You can see that part of the velcro around her neck is not connected, the two parts that should be velcro together do not flex at all, they are too stiff making it impossible to "click" properly. My 6 pound Yorkie almost drowned in this life jacket because his front paws got stuck on his neck. Another 3-5 seconds in the water and she would have died, she started swimming on her side as my husband could reach her…

I bought two of these xx-small sizes for my 3 and 4 pound Chihuahuas. When they arrived I put them on the dogs and let them carry them around the house for an hour and they didn't seem to care at all. They are securely fixed and do not move or slip. I was afraid they would slip through the neck holes as often happens with their outerwear. We used them to take dogs in kayaks and within five minutes the smallest dog fell, but I tied him with a leash to the ring at the top of the back rail. I…

I bought this dog life jacket after trying two others that didn't fit and I'm glad I did. My dog's measurements seem to be at this and being right in the middle between small and medium for most brands. He's 18 pounds and has a 21" chest, so I could go any size. I went for the medium at first and it was too big. The only option "To put it on was to fold it down at the bottom and I didn't feel secure or comfortable. I traded it in for a small one and it's absolutely perfect. I was worried the…

I bought this life jacket for my 8 month old Saint Bernard puppy to go on the boat with us! I didn't want to keep buying new life jackets when he outgrows them so I order size XL hoping they will last him for a while. and it will definitely be! I tightened it to fit (it would probably be in the middle of an L) but it has plenty of room to grow! I love the color and how bright it is! It's pretty easy to put on once you get it to the right size. My boy doesn't mind having it with me at all, which

I bought this life jacket for my miniature dachshund (8 pounds) to go kayaking on the lake. When the vest arrived and was exactly as shown in the photos. The fit was good and easy to put on. My dog didn't seem to mind and wore it comfortably. Overall we were happy to use it with our pet on our kayaking trips. When we were finally able to get out on the lake, my dog fell off the front of the kayak and into the lake. I knew immediately that something was wrong. The vest is very buoyant but not…

AWESOME. I ordered a medium, it's perfect for my 46lb Red Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog). It's comfortable, if it was much bigger I would need a big one. We had it worn around the house last night to get used to it and it had a calming effect, similar to a thundershirt. today he is as happy as can be. I think it helps him stand up so he can see better while looking for his stick on the loot road and he seems to move faster in the water but still works hard and gets tired. I like the clip at the

The leash D-ring broke when our 16 pound dachshund jumped overboard while swimming. The D-ring band failed immediately. Having just bought a boat we haven't installed a net on our lifebelt yet, so we attached a leash to the D-ring to give our dog a secure hold while cruising. Fortunately, our dog is a very good swimmer, but we put a life jacket on her to be on the safe side. We were able to perform a quick "man (dog) overboard" maneuver to get her back on board, but if conditions weren't so…

I have a Jack Russell Terrier that is slightly smaller than most of his breed. I've read a lot of reviews about the small and very small size of this life jacket and am unsure what size is right for my JT Rocky. Unfortunately, my best guess was inaccurate. So I'm going to give you the sizes I have available (my dog and my vest) hoping you know which to choose if you have a small dog. The small size was too big for my Jack Russell. Rocky, the amazing (and extremely handsome) Jack Russell…
