Outward Hound Granby Splash Orange Dog Life Jacket, Large

It fits my little pug perfectly, much to his dismay. The carry handles are essential for us as it allows us to have full control over our dog and we could loop the leash around it if needed. It kept our dog afloat in the lake, the one issue we had was he kept raising his paws too high to doggy paddle and they would get stuck in his neck hole. This might be a skill issue in our case, as he was quite frantic in the water and definitely not calm. (He was removed from the water shortly after realizing he was not enjoying himself and had a much better time supervising on land. We will try again in a smaller body of water to give him swim lessons. Lol.) But that was why we bought this in the first place, we weren’t confident our 2-braincell having pug wouldn’t drown in shallow water, and we were right so this is a must have for us.

I'm so happy I took a chance in ordering this life jacket for our dog! We decided to take our fur baby on a boat ride for the 1st time and needed one quickly. Shipping was incredibly fast! My package was on the doorstep first thing the next morning after placing my order late the night before. Our 100lb almost 2 yr old bloodhound has a 34" girth (with more room needed to grow) and I was nervous it wouldn't fit him right because of all his skin folds, but I was wrong. It's perfect! I love the handles too. I'm not sure how well he floats with it because he didn't go into the water, but I'm sure it'll be really good. The life jacket is a sug fit around his entire body. Including around his neck so his head wouldn't go under the water. Our Jasper actually loves wearing it! He knows when this cute little floating device comes out, we're about to go out on the boat & have some fishing fun!

This life vest fits my standard-sized poodle really well. It has multiple adjustment points, which made it easy to get a secure, customized fit. Once it was on, it felt very stable and not bulky. I feel very confident using this with him in the water and it gives me great peace of mind. Overall, very happy with the fit and quality.

I originally got a large for my old and arthritic 50# shepherd/heeler mix in 2015. I started to get worried that she would jump or fall off the float tube or follow me when I was paddling around the lake and wouldn't be able to make it back to shore, so I bought her one of these. It gave me some peace of mind and I started taking her with me more instead of leaving her at camp. I tried it on my new shepherd mix when I first adopted him in October 2018 and it just fit (he was about 70#). After a winter of fetch and long walks he had put on about 10# of muscle and the large didn't fit (it's been a while but I think his girth was 32"). According to the size chart the large should fit dogs up to 85# with a 32" girth, but there was no way those buckles were snapping together. I ordered an XL for him and it fits great. He loves to go kayaking with me and I feel much more secure knowing he has it on. I still have the large size and it's still in great shape. I plan on using it for my 60# lab mix when it gets warm enough. I'll update this review if I discover an issue when we start going on the water again. I really like these life jackets and have not directly experienced any issues with quality or performance but am only giving 4 stars because: 1) I don't think there's any chance that the front flap will hold the dogs head out of the water if needed. It might work for small dogs, but for large dogs it just doesn't look reasonably possible. This is unfortunate as it's one of the advertised qualities that initially attracted me to this product. 2) I don't think the grab handles would hold up very well with use as they are just sewn to the top of the jacket and are not part of the straps that go under the dogs chest. Some reviewers have noted this issue, but I think the packaging says they should only be used in an emergency. So maybe not the best option if you have a larger dog that you'll need to lift into boat or onto dock repeatedly. Again, probably fine for small dogs as the product quality seems decent. I just think it could've been designed better. 3) Sizing issue as noted above. Update 02/13/22: Both jackets still holding up well. The one I bought in 2015 looks as good as the one I got in 2019. Still only use for fetching in water and kayaking. I do not use the handles to lift the dogs, they mostly just wear them while running about. I'm back today to order one for my 4-legged niece who loves to swim and run about, but gets stiff and sore very quickly. Also adding pictures, hope someone finds them helpful. Black and white dog is 60-65#, girth 30". Black and tan dog is about 80#, girth 32". Second picture is to show difference is size. Top life jacket is large (old style) and lower is extra large. Pink is medium I received by mistake.

It’s so hard to pick these online when you can’t see a good review. Hopefully this is a good one! My dog is a lab golden poodle mix. He has a very wide rib cage and is 80 pounds. This vest is my favorite! It’s super lightweight, but covers him effectively. I love that you can adjust to fit your dog around the neck and around the waist. That makes this my favorite! It has extra security with the Velcro and all of the claps. The sty is cute and it’s a great product for the money. Super easy to put on. And I love that. The width doesn’t change as it goes down his body like some of them do. It’s overall consistent.

Gave my puppy baby some much need bouyance while at the beach and the lake. He is a great swimmer but in an open lake i didnt want him to have to work as hard and the red increased visibility a lot. It was easy to fit on him. We got a large for my 65lb GSD

I love this brand! This is my third life jacket purchase from them! We have a house by a lake and my lunatic dog loves to dive in and swim after birds. I insist she wear a life jacket because I worry that in lake water my reddish brown dog won’t be seen by boaters. The red one isn’t bright enough to be seen in the water, so that one is for the boat now. This amazing yellow one is for when she swims out and ignores my calling after her. My third life jacket is a beautiful bright orange worn by my other dog who is a good pup and doesn’t swim without me. She’s uses it for the boat. It is so well made and so worth the money. The whole thing is such excellent quality, durable, covers my dog were needed, and most of all she’s so cute. I don’t have a pic of the yellow one, but I do of the red and orange!

Great quality and price! Fits my medium dog perfectly and easy to put on. The handles on the back come on handy to pull her out of the water.

Le encanta a mi perro, que ya era nadador pero vivimos en donde el mar es bien fuerte. Esto le da a él (y a mi!) mas confianza. Bull Terrie ingles de 26kg y le queda perfecto el chaleco grande.

Ordered a size large for my Husky x Malamute, who weighs about 33kg. Fairly good quality but I did notice one of the straps was hard to tighten up as it kept coming loose when adjusting it. The front velcro flap could have been longer, but the underside velcro flap was perfect and offered lots of adjustability. Size was spot on, could have been a little longer in the back but provided extra buoyancy when she was swimming. The colour is also bright making her easier to spot in the water. She had no issues running around or swimming in it, and didn't show any discomfort whilst wearing it. Overall very happy with how quickly it was delivered and found it reasonable value for money.

Por fin un flotador de verdad! Había probado varios chalecos para mi perra y con todos se hundía, ya que es pequeña pero pesa mucho. Este ha sido el único chaleco con el que realmente flota y no tenemos que estar preocupados. La zona del cuello es super importante y buena idea, ya que hace que su cabeza siempre esté sobre el agua.

Increíble , ayuda bastante a flotar a mi labrador Yo elegí un XL quizá un L hubiese sido mejor
