EzyDogDFD Micro Dog Life Jacket for Small Dogs - Adjustable Swimming Safety Vest for Dogs Under 15 Pounds with Reflective Trim & Durable Grab Handle (X-Small, Red)

I bought 5 life jackets to start. Two of these (EZ Dog),, one in red, one in yellow (XS), 2 paws aboard (the 2 small/smalls) and King (M). So you really need to measure the girth of your dog because the sizing from these different brands are all different and all of these fit my dogs perfectly. . One of my dogs has a 19 in girth, the other a 21. Both weigh 17 lbs. Out of the 3 brands I purchased, this one hands down is by far the best choice. They are durable, great fit, extremely stylish, very sporty looking, and best of all the design gives the dog the most natural swim you could ask for. With this one (EZ Dog), just adjust the straps the first time it cinch it up on the sides with the adjustable straps, and then adjust the neck strap it’s ready to go. . I keep mine a little loose around their neck and it’s much more natural because they can move their heads. What I liked best was not just the quality and durability, but the fit. It doesn’t have that huge thick puffy piece of the life jacket going right under their neck which I’m sure makes them feel uncomfortable and panicky. . My one pup can swim great and just jumps in and swims across the pool when she’s hot to cool off. I’ve noticed since she’s had her life jacket, she hangs out in the pool a little longer to socialize instead of just jumping in And swimming across the pool and jumping out to cool off. My other dog is just learning to swim and I have to say she is much more relaxed than before she had her life jacket. These are designed much like a life jacket for humans that you would probably find on a boat. They are superior to the other brands. They have s handle on top, reflective lines going across it, and even a D-Ring to put a leash on. One last thing, my friend bought a super cute paws aboard life jacket, and we’ve noticed, it moves even though it’s fitted right, but he also swims a little side ways now instead of straight. It’s harder to swim with a life jacket so keep that in mind. My dogs seem to have zero problems with their new jackets. I would highly recommend these life jackets. I was concerned the XS might be too small per the sizing for the 21 in and also the weight, but they fit and are buoyant-no sinking. These are worth the price. And it will give you peace of mind especially on a lake. Hope this helps.

My "Spaniel" is a Land Spaniel apparently. This Floatation Vest was easy to adjust and easy to get on my dog. It definitely keeps her above water...but she HATES the ocean! But, it is comfortable enough for her to keep on and roll around the sand in all day, it also helps keep her cool and her body out of the sun...she insists on laying in the sun instead of the shade I provide. It will come in handy because although she hates the ocean, I love the ocean, so she will be in it more! =)Very high quality vest, but everything I have purchased from EzyDog...and it has been a lot of different things for different sized dogs over the past 10 years, has been of high quality and lasts a dogs lifetime and more. My older dog has had her EzyDog collar for her 10 years and her leashes, although they are slightly frayed and color is faded...they still maintain their elasticity and work 100% after 10+ years!

Works well to keep them afloat. Does twist a bit on the torso. Hoping to get that better as it wears and fits better.

I purchased this for our 9lbs Schnauzer/Poodle mix paddle pup on a recent trip to Moab. We did two stretches of the CO River on Stand Up Paddle-boards, with a couple Class II stretches. Took a little while to get comfortable, but you could tell it was very sturdy and fit her well. Adjustable straps made it easy to get the right form fit, might want a buff if they are sensitive to the straps underneath (didn't bother our pup). Had one good spill and it keep my pup above water and the strap made her easy to grab and lift back on to the board. I would recommend for sturdiness and performance!

We have a 5 pound Pomeranian and she just loves putting on her life vest to go out on our boat. She even swims in the surf with it. It fits perfectly and the handle on top is fantastic for easy and comfortable transfers from boat to water.

I needed a super small vest and this ones worked for my Yorkie. She is doing well with it on.

Our dog *hates* swimming. While this didn't help him love the water, it did make us feel better about taking him in a boat. The handle is great for pulling him out of the water as well. It seems comfortable, and he didn't mind wearing it. We tried to get him to go swimming once with it on, and it did seem to help him stay afloat in a comfortable position. He also looks completely adorable in it.

Not able to give it a 5 as yet, since I do not know if my four pound dog will float. We won't know until he is in the Maine lake come July. The device seems to be well made and sturdy. Naturally, my little boy was not too thrilled to be strapped into it.

Wonderful piece of kit for the beach

as described, great. would recommend
