 Nice Floatation Device September 2, 2008
My dog had a great time on the canoe trip and paddled around with ease. I really liked this PFD because it has a netting under the body. So that the pressure is displaced throughout her body and not just with a chest and body straps, though it has the straps too.
I didn't have to worry about my doggie because she paddled and floated all around the canoe and people swimming. Plus she looked cute also.
Makes pool swimming easier for my girls August 25, 2008
My dogs love to swim in the pool. The problem was that they couldn't just stand there when they get tired of swimming like we can, so they would come to us to hold them while they rested. With these vests on they don't tire as quickly, so they can swim a lot longer. Despite the vest being used in the pool many times, which includes the dogs jumping off the platform of the ladder, the zippers have not opened at all, which some other reviewer had a problem with. The measurements are true to size and they are easy to put on and take off. I can't comment on how they would be for boating and ocean swimming, because we don't do that, but for pools they are great. You can see pictures of my girls wearing the vests if you click on the other pictures link above.
Good product August 1, 2008
I use this on my lab/pitt mix even though he's a strong swimmer. Eases the mind. It keeps his head up if he gets tired and the handles are nice for pulling him out of the water and if your tubing he likes to pull people around. It didn't slide around and he didn't mind wearing it.
Does the job for my chihuahua July 28, 2008
This little life vest works great. We're only out boating a few times a year. My 5lb. chihuahua doesn't swim much (or well), and the collar on this vest easily keeps her entire head above water while she swims. The handles make it simple to lift her out of water anytime, it zips on & off pretty well and dries fairly quickly.
The sizing for her body is a bit tighter than expected, but stills fits okay. Good idea to accurately measure your dog's girth. Definitely would recommend to others.
 Recall them all, not safe July 21, 2008
I would recall them all. As my two dogs were swimming from the boat to shore, both the zippers started to unzip; making it more difficult for them to swim. As I have two dogs and this happened with both, it was not just that jacket. The problem is the zipper opening is directly behind their heads and have no design to remove this pressure point off the unlatched zipper. Their heads lift up on the zipper opening to swim AND the pure physics of the body weight pulling on the unlatched zipper causes it to unzip.
Except for that one flaw, it had the best design: high visibility color, No Velcro to collect seaweed, flotation material under neck, and did not interfere with the male's ability to urinate, although it was too close.
The handle was a good size for a female hand, but tight for a man's. The extra small jackets' handle were even too small for a female. The handle is a necessity for raising the dogs in and out of the dingy.
