Very comfortable
I couldn’t be happier with this dog life jacket! I purchased the size XS for my 6-pound chihuahua, and it fits her perfectly. The design is clearly well thought out—not only does it provide a snug, secure fit, but it’s also lightweight and comfortable enough for her to wear for extended periods without any signs of discomfort or irritation.One of the things I appreciate most is how well it performs in the water. It provides just the right amount of buoyancy to help keep her safely afloat, giving me peace of mind during our time near the pool or lake. She’s able to move freely and naturally while wearing it, which is a huge plus.The quality of the materials is excellent, and it looks exactly like the photos shown online—no surprises there! It feels durable and well-made, and the attention to detail is clear. Shipping was also impressively fast, which made the entire purchasing experience even better.Overall, I highly recommend this life jacket to anyone looking for a safe, comfortable, and reliable floatation option for their small dog. It exceeded my expectations in every way!

I love this life vest!
Perfect. It fit my 1lb papillon like a glove. It floats super well. It doesn’t restrict motion. It’s an adorable poka dot theme. Adjusts super easy. Fits great.

Works very well
This life vest is working very well for my dog. He is about 29 pounds and I ordered the medium. I felt the jacket was very secure and did not ride up while in the water. It stayed snug to his body, allowing him to move comfortably. Overall, I am very satisfied.

I love it….more detail required on product description though (hopefully my review will help someone)
I have a Jack Russell Terrier who is slightly smaller than most within his breed. I read a TON of the reviews on the size small and size extra-small of this life jacket and waffled as to which was the appropriate size for my JT Rocky. Unfortunately my best guestimate was inaccurate. So I am going to give you the measurements that I have available to me (my dog and the vest) in the hopes that you will know which one to choose if you have a small dog. The size small was too large for my Jack Russell.Rocky, the amazing (and exceedingly handsome) Jack Russell Terrier: Weight: 14.5 pounds Neck measurement: 10″ Chest measurement (measured directly behind the front legs): 18″ Collar to tail measurement: 15″ Collar to privates (called a peeper around here): 12″The last measurement is kind of important unless you truly desire that your likely already emasculated male dog lose all outward appearances of a male (or you desire your male or female dog to pee all over their life jacket). Honestly….I hadn’t thought of this one when we purchased the vest but the size small life jacket kind of cramped his style as it was too long!Paws Aboard SMALL Neoprene Designer Doggy Life Jacket: Neck measurement (at it’s smallest adjustment): 12″ Neck measurement (at it’s largest adjustment – velcro is not used – it is only the strap & buckle securing the opening): 18″ The chest straps have a LOT of flexibility in them. I was able to secure the vest around my dog without any problem and it probably would have adequately kept him floating but he would have HATED it and it was definitely too big! As I mentioned before it invaded his peeper….it basically was too long and so it covered it over making him very aggravated. It is difficult to provide measurements here. I am hoping to be able to add some photos that will help.The life jacket itself is awesome! I love the velcro combined with the buckles and straps…extra security. The straps are thick and wide and covered with a breathable fabric. This will make it much more comfortable! The life jacket is well made and looks like it should hold up to a lot of water adventures.I have ordered the extra-small and am returning this life jacket to Amazon.

Well made and easy to put on. Also it has wide belly band to help stability the vest.
Well designed, stays on and keeps my dog who is learning to swim, buoyant. He weight 25 pounds tho and could have probably worn a small.

Cute and Durable
This life jacket looks super cute on my dog! Beyond the adorable factor, it’s also really well-made, durable and great quality. It feels sturdy and secure, and I can tell it’ll last through many adventures.

Cute but the front strap fits weird when tightened
Love the bright color, very easy to see in the lake, I’d say it is fairly easy to put on but I haven’t two complaints. 1- the straps under the belly loosen easy when they get wet 2- the strap around her chest tightens, but gets really lopsided because the extra length on it and where the buckle sits. She has even stepped through it before because it gets so out of wack. I honestly will use it for now but am probably going to purchase something else as I don’t feel like it can be very safe if it doesn’t hold securely when tightened.

Feline Friendly
I highly recommend this jacket. I purchased this for my cat, who now goes paddleboarding with me. I ordered the extra-small and it fit him perfectly. It kept him afloat without issue. The vibrant color (neon yellow) is also a bonus – very high visibility.
