VIVAGLORYLightweight Dog Life Jacket, Pet Life Preserver Life Vest Skin-Friendly Neoprene for Small Dogs with D-ring and Quick Release Buckle, Orange

Our dog is a good swimmer, but we wanted to be on the safe side. It’s a little fiddly to do up but yourself, but manageable. Great colour and better fit than others we tried, which were too long in the torso and covered his bits! He could still go for a wee in this without it getting in the way. Happy with this life jacket :)

We got the small one for our Scottie. It did not bother her when running on the beach and along the surf line. and seemed to give her more confidence when a wave washed in. We found the neck strap across her chest needed to be tight to keep the jacket in place. The main buoyancy is on the back so she was still low in the water. She is not a strong swimmer and only used the aid to swim ashore.The underbelly portion is very secure and fastened with velcro and then two buckled straps. There is no chance of it coming off.I dropped one star though as the velcro attracts and traps sand.Overall, I would recommend this product.

Great product for our French bulldog the medium fiit great only thing is the fastening under the belly was catching on his little Willy easy remedy fold over and stitch the strap .

At first I was a touch worried about the how small the buoyancy floats where but I just wanted something to assist a potentially capable swimmer. And it proved adequate. And seemed very comfortable. For life on a boat or a heavier dog staffy or bull dog breads I would go with more floats.

I bought the Neoprene and Ripstop dog buoyancy aids for our cockerpoo who loves the water. Specifically we walk along a canal and he jumps in and out a lot, but I have now got a kayak which he swims out to and likes to climb aboard; we thus wanted a handle to lift him with and some floatation in case he gets exhausted.Both products are great - relaly well made and effective - but perhaps one is better for you depending upon your need.Pros:• Neoprene looks good• Floats okay• Fits the dog well - their sizing is good.Cons• Whilst neoprene is itself buoyant, the inserted floats seem higher whereas the ripstop has buoyancy is all around so 'appears' lower down so I prefer the ripstop• I guess designed for a female b1tch as the undercarriage covers his bits so I guess any wee goes where I wish it didn’t (maybe I didn't shop it enough and there is a male / dog variant)• Seems slightly heavier for me to lift him when wet, than the ripstop, and he struggles to climb out of the canal / riverbank more in the neoprene (but I can scoop the back easily with the end of a paddle)Conclusion: both really are very good and exceptional value ... of the two I thought I’d prefer the neoprene, but the ripstop one works better for me and was cheaper.For us on a kayak, I prefer the ripstop – especially for him getting in and out of the canal bank. If you have a female dog you’re taking on a boat – so not climbing banks – then both are great and I suppose down to looks.The neorpene is certainly of great build quality too.

Was a little apprehensive as my springer is not keen on any harness, but loves paddle boarding so has to have one.I tried it on her and it fit really well it seemed comfy and after a couple of mins she was used to it. She’s approx 19-20kg and I bought the medium.When out in the water she forgot it was on!

Lovely little buoyancy aid for my dog. Bought the bigger size as she is long but plenty of chest space. She was happy in it!

I bought this for my Jack Russel to go stand up boarding with the family. It was easy to fit and adjust to her size, this took about 3 minutes to adjust the straps to her size. There is also Velcro underneath that also helps keep the vest in place. There are a variety of sizes and colours to choose from. My dog fell into the water several times and this vest prevented her from going right under at point of falling in. She is a good swimmer even without the vest. But when falling off the board there is a risk of her going right under. But with this vest on she just landed on the top. The handle on the top is perfect for grabbing hold of her when she is in the water and putting her back on the board. My Jack usually hates to wear any sort of jacket. But after the initial hesitation she was fine wearing it. It also kept her a bit warmer after getting wet in the uk weather.
