Frequently asked questions
Is the chin rest comfortable for smaller dogs?
Yes - the chin rest is designed to sit naturally under the jaw without restricting movement, and it's proportioned across all sizes so smaller breeds get the same support as larger ones.
Will this work for a dog who's never worn a life vest before?
Most dogs adjust within the first few minutes, especially once they're in the water and feel the support. We recommend a quick 5-minute trial in shallow water before a big trip.
Can it get wet and dry quickly between uses?
Absolutely - the materials are quick-dry and built for repeated water use, so you can use it one day and have it ready again the next.
How do I know which size to order?
Check our size chart based on chest girth and weight.
If your dog is between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a more comfortable, secure fit.
Is the handle strong enough to lift my dog out of water?
Yes - the handle is reinforced and stitched to support a quick lift-assist, ideal for getting your dog back onto a dock, boat, or shore.
What if the size doesn't fit right when it arrives?
No problem - reach out to our team and we'll help you exchange for the correct size, hassle-free.

I bought two of these. We live in the Bay in Belize and our two GoldenDoodles love to explore … these have given me confidence that they can more safely enjoy themselves in the beach/water.
Okay, so listen ya’ll. My little heathen kidney bean with legs (Frenchie) decided she wanted to be like the big boys (two German shepherds) and ran and jumped into the pool. Luckily my son was already in the pool and was able to scoop her out before she sank all the way to the bottom.Needless to say, I immediately got on my phone and bought her this life vest! It came the very next day.She’s a small Frenchie and I bought a small and it fit her perfectly! The color is so pretty and it’s very well made. I worried about the Velcro but it is quite durable. It’s the same thickness as a regular life vest and very light weight. The best part is that it dries really quickly.Sad part is that this crazy dog was too scared after her ordeal to swim around in it.😒
Took my frenchie camping with me and he absolutely loved paddle boarding with me. This life jacket was perfect because when he would jump off the board he would be able to keep his snout above water and didn’t get water in his folds or ears. He loves it and it worked perfectly. I can’t wait to take him out again.
Perfect for my furry friend! Kept him safe on the paddle board and allowed for a great adventure. Fit great, he didn’t seemed bothered by it at all, easy to put on.
My English Bulldog does great in this lifejacket. It’s the best one I’ve found for her so far. She’s fallen off my paddle board and been fine, granted she is a good swimmer.
I got two of these life jackets for my French Bulldogs, and not only are they adorable, they work surprisingly well for helping my dogs learn how to swim. The size Medium fit both of my dogs,(one is quite slim, and the other is on the chunkier side). The adjustable straps made it easy to get a secure, comfortable fit for both of them. The quality feels solid. It has sturdy material, good stitching, and they really seem to have designed it with both safety and ease of use in mind. I especially love the neck float, it helps keep their heads above water and prevents them from panicking when they paddle. These jackets gave them the confidence to be in the water without fear. I definitely recommend it for small, stocky breeds like Frenchies who aren’t natural swimmers!(To take photos, I let them rest on a floaty in between swim time, just so they wouldn’t get too tired.)
Why did you pick this product vs others?:The XS did not fit my Maltese mix it would Velcro’s he is 17 inches at his thickest we are returning it for a small size.
1st time using today and it works great for our 31lb Frenchie who cannot swim at all ( he sank the 1st time in the water, so had to get a life jacket). This life jacket kept him afloat perfectly. I got him the medium and it fits perfect.
So it turns out my Frenchi was not a fan of the water but this floating vest does a great job of keeping her safe in the water and it’s easy to carry her if needed!
i got size M for my 26lbs corgi pup and it fits great on her. she still need to be comfortable being in the water so I got it for more support. neck float is great and helped her avoid water in her ear.
The media could not be loaded.
This life jacket was perfect for our little boat pup. It fit him perfectly and kept him afloat when he couldn’t reach the ground in the water. Highly recommended!
This dog life vest is so adorably cute! It fits my 8 lb Chihuahua girl perfect. I haven't put her in our pool yet, waiting for the water to get back up in temperature after having a week of cooler nights. Nice quality. Adjustible straps.
I love this. We took our puppy on the boat and she is little and gets tired easy. It is durable and easy to dry. The cost wasn't bad. It was easy to put on her and the overall appearance is good. It keeps her nose out of the water when she is tired so the performance is great. The color is bright and I love it.
Great quality and true to size. I take Sammi swimming and hold the handle on the back in deep water and she swims around. I keep the neck floating part attached under her neck since she is a Bully breed and they are top heavy, causing them to sink.
I ordered the XS for our 10lb Maltese mix. It fit nice and snug at almost the tightest setting, and with plenty of room to spare if he gains some weight. This vest kept our little Bandit safe while looking fashionable when kayaking or playing in the shallow part of the river. It was exactly what we were looking for 🐾
Aside from the week it took to get it, the life jacket itself feels and looks pretty solid and I'm happy so far. My Frenchie is a studdly 34 lbs and the medium fit him well; although, the chest area was extended to almost full length. My biggest complaint as of now would be the short strip of Velcro along the neck line. This should extend the full length due to Velcro not meeting when the neck area has to be tightened beyond a certain point. Since I received the life vest late, I didn't get to test it out yet, but as you can see...my Frenchie is THRILLED and can't wait for all the opportunities this summer is going to bring!!! LOL!!!
Bought for my French bulldog and it is exactly what we needed. It is designed with brachycephalic dogs in mind and is easy to use. Not to mention it’s cute
My daughter got this Dog Life Jacket for her French Bulldog. It fit very well, and truly helped him stay afloat when in our swimming pool. The only reason I deducted a star, is because the front flap on the vest seemed uncomfortable for him.
