    Alaskan hound

    My dogs are incredibly active. They live an Alaska bush life style. We use boats like cars. These are by far best life vest on the market.

    Best vest for the bestie s

    Safety on the water

    We have one of these in a large from our late border collie that stood up well to several years of rough use on our sailboat. So when our new puppy needed a life jacket we got him an appropriately sized one. This is durable, a good fit, good floatation and has the little extras like a leash clip and place to attach a light.

    Excellent vest

    My girl Ellie is a 1 year old ~100 pound Dogue de Bordeaux, and the size large fit her perfect. It was easy to put on and she seemed very comfortable with it on in the water. Very glad I selected this vest.

    Life Jacket

    Obsessed. I had a different life jacket for my mini daschund and it didn't really fit well. This ruffwear jacket fits him perfectly and will be the perfect addition for his paddleboarding adventures!

    LOVEEEEEE

    My dog has no issues with wearing this float coat. Worked perfect to keep him above water when he decided to try and jump off the paddle board (first time on it). And it’s not bulky!! Was worried the xxs would be too small but it was perfect for my little guy! Would 100% purchase again!
