Outward Hound Granby Splash Yellow Dog Life Jacket, XL

Took my dog on a rafting trip and it worked really well to help him swim without tiring when he wasn't in the boat. He didn't mind wearing it and it didn't restrict his motion. It's well-made, looks good and lasts! Dries quickly, doesn't smell weird.

I have an Olde English Bulldogge who sinks like a rock. She does good to tread water at all. Because of this the water is not her friend which is a problem since she goes fishing with me on the boat and I take her to the beach. She has a deep chest and a narrow waist and I stuck to the size chart which said the size she needed could support up to a 70lb dog. That made me nervous because she is around 65-70 lbs. I took the chance and we hit the lake today. Like others said the straps have plenty of room to adjust and I was able to get a good snug fit without a problem. Then before getting in the water I used the lift straps to make sure all would hold. The jacket did great and feels very sturdy and well made letting me lift her with ease. Next we got in the water and to my amazement she started swimming all around the boat. It completely supports her and allows her to float with no effort on hr part. For the price this is an outstanding product that gives me piece of mind that she is safe on the water plus I can now let her cool off in deeper water and lift her back into the boat without hurting her or me.As for her wearing it. She doesnt seem to mind at all and almost seemed to enjoy it. She didnt chew or bite at any part of it and it did not rub or irritate her in any area. She had it on today from 6am to 330pm and showed no signs of being bothered by it. She also did not get hot in it and it actually keep her cool since it stayed nice and damp from being in the water. She has full movement and seemed nice and comfy laying around as I was fishing. Also it is a good color and if she was to fall in it is very high visibility to make a rescue easy.Dont hesitate. This product is well worth the money and more.Update(10-17-14)- Today I went fishing and while on my bass boat my trolling motor took a break. While working on getting it fixed my bulldog went to the back of the boat and got a drink from the lake. While Im sitting with bits and pieces of trolling motor on the front deck I heard a big splash. I look up to see my dog was gone. She is not a ballerina and slipped in to the lake with her clumsy self. Luckily she had on her vest and very calmly bobbed in the water for a second and then began to swim around. I let her take a couple laps around the boat while I got the trolling motor bits safe and then lifted her back on board by the vest straps.If I did not have this vest today I bet I would have had a big mess by needing to move quickly to save my rock of a dog. Also I thought that if she was to get to far from the boat and the fact my trolling motor was down I would have had to either use the main motor to snag her, which would not be very safe, or get wet myself to get her. I am very glad I bought this vest and today it certainly paid for itself.She has used it many times now on the lake and pool. It still looks new and is holding up extremely well. She has yet to protest wearing it and really seems to be confident around the water now.

My 11 yo rescue Australian Shepherd with arthritis in his back hips is learning to swim and isn't loving it (yet!) I ordered a Large jacket and it fits perfectly! He is 65 lbs, chest girth 31", neck circumference 18" (base) and 16" (top), withers (shoulder height) 23", torso (back length) 22".I want to start with the awesome price for this life jacket! We have tried popular brands that are 2 and 3 times the cost of this one that didn't make me even half as happy. I love this vest...which I purchased myself and have not received any incentive or request for this review.This jacket does a pretty good job of keeping him horizontal in the water - if he gets to paddling really hard with his front paws, his backend does sink a bit, but his head never goes under.I really appreciate the fabric that velcros under his belly. It accomplishes two things: it keeps the jacket snug on him so he is not able to slip or squirm out of the jacket when I'm holding it by the handles (like he can from one of the expensive, popular brands), and it also keeps the straps from pulling and rubbing on his stomach. I feel like the fabric distributes the force of the straps a bit. He has a lot of fur that wants to get tucked into the velcro, but I'm getting better at smoothing his fur as I wrap him. It's worth the little bit of extra effort.The handles seem really sturdy so far - I use them to help get him into the water, and when he's in the water, I use the back one to lift his rear if he starts getting panicky when he's not perfectly horizontal (it calms him pretty quickly).The color/pattern is not only cute, I can spot him instantly in the water. (I haven't included a photo of him in the water because, so far, I am always in the water with him.)The only thing I would change (and it's really not that big of a deal) is that I would want the jacket to be an inch or two longer along his back.

Me gusto

Articulo: Chamarra salvavidas para perro, Outward Hound Granby Splash, Anaranjado, Pequeño.Lo compraria otra vez, se siente y ve de buena calidad, si se amarra bien al canino y seguro, material se siente resistente tambien. Voy a comprarle uno mas grande a mi otra perrita para ver que tal.

Fits my large senior dog, provides peace of mind. My dog is just over 10, but has cancer and so suffers seizures. I worried about what would happen if he had a seizure while swimming, as they tend to lock up his muscles momentarily.This fit as expected and keeps his head above water at the lake, but he still runs around in it comfortably on the waterfront too. He can even wrestle with other dogs, without it being in the way.

Excellent product.
