We just received our doggy lifevest and it doesn't fit. We measured our dog and purchased an XS and it is not even close to fitting. The dog measured on the small end of the XS chart. The velco barely connects and the straps are too short to buckle. The dog would need to have a 3 inch neck for the vest to fit properly. Since the velcro doesn't fully connect the hooks will cause belly irritation. We will return the product for a refund.

Comments about Paws Aboard Designer Doggy Life Jacket:

This is a great life jacket for our Westie. She wore her previous life vest so much that it seemed to be thinning her fur across her back.
This life jacket is full coverage and prevents her from getting sunburn. I think it is also cooler than the previous vest. She also fell in the water and came right up.

Comments about Paws Aboard Designer Doggy Life Jacket:

This was very useful! I know my dog can swim, but her having the life jacket on helps me relax when we're floating the river in kayaks! She actually fell out of my kayak on the last float and it was easy to pull her back in using the handle on the top of this life jacket. The jacket does not restrict any normal activity and seems to be comfortable for her.

Use anytime our dog accompanies us on boat. She loves it - lightweight and no restriction of activity. Looks good too. Easy on and off and convenient handle on back to lift dog out of water. Size chart should be ammended to include actual size measurements along with breed.

Used this jacket at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. Morty, a 28 lb. Froston was able to run and roll and swim all day long. He did not find it confining and was happy. He is from NYC so I wasn't sure how he was going to take to wearing a life jacket but it was so comfy he hardly knew it was on!

Q:
I am looking at this and the Overtons Dog Life Jacket. Is the main difference just manufactures? I was also wondering about the size of the mesh on the underbelly, with the possibility of getting a nail caught when scratching. How large are the holes? Also is it better to have the underpart made of floatation material to add to the buoyancy? I have a small 7lb Chihuahua mix.

  I think that flotation on the dog's underside would cause the dog to roll in the water. With flotation only on the top, it supports the dog right side up and keep it's head out of the water.

  A:
  I don't believe the dog's nails will get caught in the mesh.
  the floatation under the dog's chin keeps the head above the water. If there was a float under the dog, it could make the dog work harder to keep in the proper position - in my opinion.

  You would probably have to get one custom made for a dog of that size. Nothing we carry will support a dog of that weight.

We have a Boston Terrier that weighs approximately 24 lbs. and measures about 23 girth. I am thinking I need the medium. What is the length of the jacket? Boston's are quite "chesty". I saw this jacket on another Boston but she was more slender and weighed less. Thanks!

  A:
  This will come down to your dog's body girth. When measured around his chest, if the length is 15"-19", go with the XS. If it measures 17"-22", go with a Small.
