Ruff Wear K-9 Float Coat - Pet PFD

I've had these K-9 jackets before...Depending on how rough on it your dog is-the time it will last varies....

We just got our Float Coat. He won't be using it until this summer so I'll do a review after that too. He measured for a Medium but I had to exchange for the Large for the best fit.

I just feel better knowing that my nearly 10 year old Lab can swim to her hearts content and not get tired with this life vest. She can stop swimming and just float. Just wait til you see the pictures of that! My peace of mind was worth any price. Thanks

Our current dog, a 6-year-old labradoodle, is an active swimmer and water-toy retriever, to the point of sometimes overdoing it. After learning that even Portuguese water dogs (like Obama's family owns) are required to have flotation vests when they take part in swimming trials, we decided that a vest like this one would be wise for our dog, as well. It fits well, though a bit stiffly, so we're hoping it will soften up with more use...

I have an old yellow lab and he has very bad arthritis and can not be on meds for it, so last summer we noticed he was having a hard time swimming even though he would stay in the water for hours as all labs do. Figured it would help him for next year. According to the size chart he measured an extra large but when it came in I thought that it was a little too big and it would float up in the water around his neck so exchanged it for a size smaller. It is good quality and the price was $20-30 cheaper than other web sites for the exact product. Was very happy with it. Can't wait to try it out this summer.

I searched the internet for the best recommendations. This vest doesn't restrict your dog's movements and allows him to doggie paddle without binding his legs. This vest will keep your dog's head above water even while he's resting. No worry about your dog getting too tired when swimming or falling overboard.

I purchased this Float Coat for my 90 lb Lab/Great Dane mix last year from another company. We live on a lake and the water at our dock is over 10 ft deep, so it is a necessity that my dog wear a life jacket. We spend hours in the water and this jacket allows him to stay in the water with us without wearing himself to exhaustion. He has a huge chest and with his weight I ordered an XL for him and it fits him beautifully without any binding or irritation. I wish that I had found this jacket at STP 'cause I would have definitely preferred their price!!! At this price I'm going to purchase another float coat for my "granddog"!

The yellow color increases visibility well in the water. The dog is beginning to get used to the fit.

This product was great. I definatly recommend this to anyone. Size is true to what website states. We went camping on an island and my dog swam for hours as the vest would like her float and not work quiet as hard ! my dogs give this 4 paws up

works well on the dog who loves to swim but is getting older.
