Keep Your Pet Safe with the Paws Aboard Pet Life Jacket

Alan Milligan: We loved the fit on our tea cup chlhuahua, we are taking her on a river houseboat and this is a good safety measure.

Heather K.: Perfect size not too bulky. I'd say it's a little square... Could fit more flush, but for the price it's perfect on my mini doodle.

Barney's Mom: This life jacket is very well made, and it fits perfectly! I have a male dog, and I was worried if this would work for his "under carriage". No issues! It's comfortable for him, and he can do everything he needs to do while wearing this jacket. I love the handle on the back, and the reflective strips!

Marina Orlova: Love the jacket. Our 105lb Newfii fits perfectly. Good for water rescue treanings.

Très joli mais très petit: Flotation with this vest is not for non-swimmers as flotation factor is not very high for our golden retrievers. It annoys them; a complete waste of money!

Lisa K"s place: She is so adorable in this vest, we swam all day yesterday and she just bobbed around with me happy as could be! She was so much more comfortable with a feeling of extra security, and me too, and the handle is just great to pluck her up or hand her off to someone when we get out !!!!!

Amazon Customer: The media could not be loaded.  Timothy is a 5.5lb Chihuahua.
His chest is at 14”.
I ordered an XXS.
The jacket fit great. The neck felt like a good fit with enough give to make it a bit bigger or smaller.
The jacket JUST fit his chest/stomach with the Velcro. The clasp had more give.
If your dog has a 14” chest the Velcro tabs will just touch. I still felt that Timothy was safe.
I ordered it that way because he is a Chihuahua and I didn’t want to much bulk around his neck.
I felt that the sturdiness of the neck held his head up great.
In the video he is actually in water above his head for a minute. I did NOT try it in deeper water, because it’s a beach and there were a lot of waves that day and I wanted to be able to grab him just in case.
I did look at a lot of jackets and feel I choose the best one for a medium price on the market.
Enjoy:)

Lisa MillerLisa Miller: We have a 15 lb. Havanese & ordered a Small. Fits her great & held her up swimming! (I didn’t do a video because I had seen other video reviews already posted of this product, which were so helpful!) I really like the handle, and that there is a spot for a leash to clip on.

RustycoltRustycolt: Of course safety is the primary concern for this item, but I'm not qualified to comment on its effectiveness in that area. What I can say is that the fitment is awesome, with locking straps as well as velcro which are secure and offer enough adjustability to tailor the fit perfectly. Making all of the adjustments took about 5 minutes, even though little dog was full of excitement to get to activities. Once adjusted, it won't need to be done again.

Nothing about the design restricted movement or range of motion at all. She seems to not even notice it is on. These PFDs (I'm going with Pupper Flotation Device) are mandatory where I live, but aside from that, I know my little fuzzy friend is a lousy swimmer, and the peace of mind knowing I could just grab her by the convenient handle if she ever went overboard is well worth price paid.

I haven't used others, so I have no basis for comparison, but I am happy with this purchase, and would recommend it based on my experience.
4/5 only because the overlapping sections that wrap the neck are slightly (very slightly) bulky. I do not expect this would be the case for a dog with a broader chest however.

Oh, and for all...

Dale FowlerDale Fowler: This is the most amazing product I've purchased off Amazon without seeing it!!!! The safety and security I have knowing that if my Pit (dog) falls/jumps in that I know she will be held up securely with this devise. Due to her age, she's starting to flip over onto her back while swimming and makes me fear that I might not be able to get to her in time if I turned my back for a second. Feeling not so confident knowing that she LOVES the water and could get caught off guard makes me worry even when I'm supervising her. There is never enough eyes around when you're in the water therefore....this jacket works WONDERS and keeps her on her belly to swim to the ramp and exit with no problems what so ever. I LOVE the neoprene fabric instead of the hard stiff material regular life jackets are made from that would also slip around while on you dog. This jacket fits snug, form fitting, appears comfortable and my girl LOVES wearing it as she can't seem to wait patiently for me to put it on her as she knows she's going in the pool!!! Best product and I would buy it again once it's worn out, would recommend this to ANYONE!!! Reviewed from one happy shopper and one happy pooch!
