Reviews Summary
Customers say this float coat allows dogs to move freely while swimming and playing. Many reviews mention the secure fit across different dog breeds and sizes, with adjustable straps that stay snug during water activities. The sturdy handle on top makes it easy to lift dogs back onto boats and paddleboards. Users appreciate the non-bulky design that doesn't restrict movement. While some note the neck opening could be more adjustable, most find it comfortable for their dogs to wear for extended periods. Reviews frequently highlight the coat's durability during regular use in lakes, rivers and pools.

    Best life vest

    I just recently bought another one of these for my dog. It is the best life jacket ive had for a dog. i have been taking my dog to the dog swimming pool every week for 10 years and in that time not even a stich has come loose on it. the only reason i got another is because she got a little thicker and needed a little more room

    Truly the best!!

    My dogs LOVE the water and our boat, these are perfect for lake days! They are light enough for them to still run and play outside of the water but keep them afloat when they jump off the boat or swim off the shore! I love that they are bright as it helps me spot them in the bushes. I highly recommend! Pictured is our male french bulldog and female border collie X blue heeler, they are both wearing smalls.

    Perfect fit

    We tried many other jackets but they were either too large, not what we needed or simply didn’t work. This jacket fit perfectly, was true to size and doesn’t get waterlogged. I can grab the handle and help direct my pup during his swimming lessons and is easy to keep hold of when we go kayaking. Love this jacket!

    Best Life Jacket

    Absolutely love the size medium Float Coat for our 4 yr old 62 pound standard poodle. Standard poodles are great swimmers, and when we got this jacket for him two years ago, he seemed to love it too. He swam around just as freely as he did without any lifejacket, but it gives him a bit more buoyancy and keeps his head out of the water better. He stopped, swallowing too much water when fetching a toy, so great! He is very friendly, and I used to worry that he’d swim out into the lake too far after people and boats, but now with this jacket, no worries, it will keep him safe. It is amazingly adjustable and so simple to put on and take off. Hope Ruffwear always makes these. Thank you for such a wonderful product.
