    Good fit and works

    Fits very nicely on our Rottweiler deep narrow chest, lots of room for growth for when he thickens up, nice bright colours for the water, works well and seems comfortable, he doesn’t bug it

    Gulf Islands adventurer!

    Great range of motion. Got the medium for a 50lb- airedale, nice that the padded bits overlap with this on the a bit too big size jacket. Meg bits at the chest plate but hey it seems durable enough.

    Set for a summer of boating fun!

    Best lifejacket

    Love this! It is difficult to find a proper lifejacket for my dog as he has a deep chest and a tiny waist. Others have been too long. This fits perfect and I know he is safe being on a boat in the summer time.

    Float coat

    My dog likes the Float coat. She feels comfortable and secure with it on. I am glad a friend recommended RuffWear. I would buy again and have also recommended the Float coat to friends.

    Thank you,

    Tracy P
