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:
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!!

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

Size small. I just got one for my dog who is also 14lbs and it fits great. The small will be perfect even for longer torsoAnswered on 6/14/2012 by Rave from Palm Desert CAVERIFIED BUYER

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.Answered on 6/2/2012 by Skippy from Florida

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!!Asked on 4/27/2011 by Breezer1 answer

MediumAnswered on 6/16/2011 by Pino from Rochester, NYVERIFIED BUYER
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.Answered on 6/11/2011 by Melissa Rogers from Austin, Texas
Q:
how do you size the vest for your dog by poundsAsked on 5/17/2010 by Anonymous2 answers
VERIFIED BUYER
A:
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.Answered on 6/2/2010 by Jim from Easthampton, Ma.VERIFIED BUYER

measure their GIRTH. Distance around the widest part of their chest..!!!!!!!!Answered on 7/7/2010 by mtnhightim from San Diego, Ca.
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?Asked on 4/12/2010 by Debbie from Rolling Hills, CA1 answer
VERIFIED BUYER
A:
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.Answered on 5/20/2010 by Hercules the English Bull Dog from Flower Mound Texas
