Purchased for my bull mastif, doesn't keep dog from sinking. Luckily he's a good swimmer and we purchased a float for him to lay on instead. Looks good on him tho. Does seem to keep him cooler when its wet, and the handle makes it easier to get him in the boat.

    Comments about Overton's Overton's Dog Life Jacket:

    This turned out to be a great bit of added security for our Yorkie. It is easy to put on and the dog was not bothered by it at all, so it must be fairly comfortable. Also like the grab handle on the back and the Hi-Visibility.

          Comments about Overton's Overton's Dog Life Jacket:

          I purchased this product based on the recomended sizing for my Shorty Joe. (dachshund)I was concerned about fit because he is such a small dog. We had tried out a few others (to their sizing chart)only to find they really were not the right fit. I took the chance on this product and it fit!! The measurements were perfect for Shorty. He loves it and gets so excited when we bring it out for him to put on. He puts it on pratically all by himself (except for strapping him in of course)...he loves the boat! We feel safer with him having his own life vest strapped on. We are pleased with our purchase!!

                  Added protection to ensure that your dog is safe on the water. Of course, you still have to supervise your pet while on the water. The handle on the back makes it easier to retieve your dog when she jumps off for a swim.

                      Long torso is OK for either size (short torso is the problem..) Go with the girth measurement instead of weight to get the correct size for your dog.

                  • Q:

                    I have an English Bulldog and she LOVES to swim. She has a medium vest which she just fits in but I think the large will be to long (between front and back legs). She weight is 53 pounds but her girth would fit the large better but I think it will be to long down the body. Can anyone tell me the length from the neck to the mesh closest to the hide legs? Thanks!!

                      stay with the medium, large will be way to big, a snug fit is good.

                      A:

                      If your dog is on the lean side, then a medium will work. If more stocky and full in the middle, then I would go for the large. No worries, Overton's will exchange! Our Austrian Shepherd/doberman mix is on the lean side and wears a medium.

                      The size to weight ratios given in the Overton's cat. make it easy to purchase the correct size. If your dog is near the max. weight for a particular size; order that size,as the item is big enough for that weight and a little more....assuming the animal is not overweight to any great degree.

                  • Q:

                    On the black mesh underbelly part, how large are the mesh holes? Do you worry if he scratches he will get a nail caught? Is it better to have this part made from the floatation material to add to the buoyancy? What is the main difference between this and the Paws Aboard Designer Doggy Life Jacket?

                      Black mesh holes are very small and acts like the velcro part to secure the dog in jacket. It doesn't seem to be part of the buoyancy system.
