    Float Coat Amazingness

    Bought one to try out on my Shepherd and get him comfortable in the pool. Worked out so well that I bought one for my other two dogs. Great quality and comfortable fit while giving them room to swim comfortably but safely. 10/10 recommend.

    Quality

    It's cute and fit perfectly according to the size chart. Most importantly, it keeps my pup safe when out on the water.

    Great life jacket with good mobility

    I got this for my senior dog so she could feel confident in the water. I want her to enjoy swimming as it’s a good low impact exercise for her joints. This helps keep her head above water and lets her doggie paddle with confidence. She is by no means a natural swimmer, but with her float coat on she feels like one. She was between sizes so I went with the larger one. The vest is very easy to adjust.

    RUFFWEAR Float Coat Dog Life Jacket

    I recently bought a Float Coat Life Jacket for my current dog. I have another one in a smaller size that I've had for quite a number of years (they are really made well!!) that I've used on several of my other dogs and used on this dog when she was young. But she outgrew the older vest so I bought her one in the next size up which fits her perfectly. I am sure we'll have and use this one for many years too!!

    Great confidence builder for new swimmer

    Our terrier mix is new to the water and it gave us all confidence taking her out on a paddle board for the first time. While we’d like her to swim with and without it, we will likely use it most in areas with current or situations where it is convenient to pick her up by the handle on the back. She’s around 18 lbs for reference. We purchased the XS.
