With Fido Float there's no need to worry on or off shore. Straps adjust for a snug fit and handles make it easier to lift any size dog from the water. Patented buoyancy collar holds a dog's head out of the water for added safety. The Fido Float increases endurance and makes boating safer for dogs. For an exact fit, measure the circumference of dogs chest just behind the front legs at its deepest point. Extra, Extra Large Girth size 37" - 47"

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes pool swimming easier for my girls, August 25, 2008

By	Maregolden (Brentwood, NY USA) - See all my reviews

My dogs love to swim in the pool. The problem was that they couldn't just stand there when they get tired of swimming like we can, so they would come to us to hold them while they rested. With these vests on they don't tire as quickly, so they can swim a lot longer. Despite the vest being used in the pool many times, which includes the dogs jumping off the platform of the ladder, the zippers have not opened at all, which some other reviewer had a problem with. The measurements are true to size and they are easy to put on and take off. I can't comment on how they would be for boating and ocean swimming, because we don't do that, but for pools they are great. You can see pictures of my girls wearing the vests if you click on the other pictures link above.

1.0 out of 5 stars Recall them all, not safe, July 21, 2008

By	Miss Doss - See all my reviews

This review is from: Premier Fido Float Dog Life Vest, Small, Orange (Misc.)

I would recall them all. As my two dogs were swimming from the boat to shore, both the zippers started to unzip; making it more difficult for them to swim. As I have two dogs and this happened with both, it was not just that jacket. The problem is the zipper opening is directly behind their heads and have no design to remove this pressure point off the unlatched zipper. Their heads lift up on the zipper opening to swim AND the pure physics of the body weight pulling on the unlatched zipper causes it to unzip.
Except for that one flaw, it had the best design: high visibility color, No Velcro to collect seaweed, flotation material under neck, and did not interfere with the male's ability to urinate, although it was too close.

The handle was a good size for a female hand, but tight for a man's. The extra small jackets' handle were even too small for a female. The handle is a necessity for raising the dogs in and out of the dingy.

2.0 out of 5 stars Ok for occasional use, October 10, 2009

By	Sarikka A. Attoe "Puppy Mom" (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a marine biologist and spend a lot of time on a small boat. My dog enjoys coming with me, and of course has to wear a PFD like everyone else. Yes, dogs can swim, but so can you, and you are still required to wear one. What if he got tired, went the wrong direction, was not visible, there was an accident? Anyway, this PFD lasted about 9 months, which was probably 30 trips. It worked okay, but didn't last well. The minute is showed signs of wear (exposed foam, ripped webbing) I threw it out, I don't want to chance it like that. So, if you are only taking your dog out a few times, this will work fine (it has a great head support), but if you are going out more, don't count on it lasting very long.
