Premier Fido Float Dog Life Vest, Large, Orange

Out of all the dog life jackets I’ve tried, this is hands down the best. I love the mesh on the underbelly because it’s nice and comfortable for her, it’s not bulky, and it dries quickly. The sides are not bulky, there’s padding under the neck. My favorite are the two handles. Other life jackets have one handle, so if you need to pick your dog up into the boat, they dangle from one end and it’s not easy to life. 2 handles make it incredibly easy and comfortable for the dog.

Our dog LOVES this product. We bought our first one years ago and he swam like the wind in it. He's a great swimmer to begin with but we bought this to ensure he'd be safe if he jumped off the boat. After years of use and I mean intense use it finally dyed in the sun and wore out. We couldn't find another fido float in Pet Supplies Plus so we ended up buying a bulkier brand complete with neck brace to keep a dog's head elevated in the water. Our dog HATED IT! He was like a sitting duck in the water. I think there were too many straps and he couldn't move his head around so he was operating at half of the speed he usually does and was not enjoying himself at all. We quickly grabbed our old ripped up Fido Float and he was back at it swimming like a Champ! We turned the bulky life vest into a back-up & ordered a new Fido Float on Amazon straight away. His first Fido Float was a size medium, but when the new Fido Float came it was far too big. I think they changed their sizes. So we returned that & ordered a small. It's a bit snug and a bit short on top but he LOVES IT I think even more than the first Fido Float. I would recommend this product for dogs who are great swimmers and this is to ensure they are safe. When in the water, our dog never stops moving so I'm not sure how well it does if a dog were to be afraid and just sitting in the water. But for our little water rat he glides around in this thing. Great product! I hope they continue to make them because we'll need another in a few years I'm sure!

I have purchased this particular vest for all four of my animals and I like them very much. These are put on as a human would put on a shirt or blouse backwards and then sips across the back. There is full under body support should you have to lift your pet and you don't have the risk of straps coming undone and dropping them.However, although I measured my dogs several times to make sure I was ordering the correct size, the x-large one was simply too tight for my Choc Lab, so I ordered another one in xx-large, assuming I could tighten it up some and make it work. Not! The xx-large was huge - too wide, too long - can't imagine what type of dog this would fit. I PUT IT ON and it went below my knees! So, I called and got return authorizations for both of these and went to UPS to ship. It would cost me more to return the x-large one then I paid for it and the xx-large was within pennies of what I originally paid. So, at that rude awakening, I cut my losses, didn't return them, and now own two perfectly good, but useless pet life jackets. Lesson here would be READ THE FINE PRINT. Although I don't resent having to pay to return something, I would assume it would be the same as the shipping that was originally charged to me; certainly not 3-4X as much. You would think the companies would have some type of agreement if you return products using same shipping company. Having said all of that - the other three vests I purchased that fit - are exactly what I wanted and I would recommend this brand and type to others and will certainly purchase again if the need arises. But, I won't be ordering online. I will find a store that sells them so I may return if the need arises.

The color that was shipped to me was a yellow, but this is perfect. I bought the XS, for my dog she is half chihuahua half yorkie, and she isn't itty bitty but she isn't quite a terrier which I would assume would need a small. So I took her out on the Kayak, (which she LOVED by the way) and at one point she stood on the side of the kayak to bark at some geese and she fell in. Well she wasn't even in the water for two seconds when I pulled her up by her straps. I'm just so happy about the whole package, color, fitting, price, comfort! RECOMMEND for anyone who takes their dog to the lake, river, or boat in the ocean!

We bought this for our shitzu, she is about 15lbs. It fits her nicely and when she gets dumped in the lake she floats. We are really happy with this product, and we noticed that our dog has more confidence while in the kayak, in the boat, or we even took her tubing with it. She is a little dog, with a bid dog attitude :)We did not notice the zipper coming down, and it is nice that it has an adjustable strap around the chest. the handles did see sturdy and the zipper was smooth. There was not issue with the neck area and her keeping her head out of the water.

This little life vest works great. We're only out boating a few times a year. My 5lb. chihuahua doesn't swim much (or well), and the collar on this vest easily keeps her entire head above water while she swims. The handles make it simple to lift her out of water anytime, it zips on & off pretty well and dries fairly quickly.The sizing for her body is a bit tighter than expected, but stills fits okay. Good idea to accurately measure your dog's girth. Definitely would recommend to others.

It fit great even though it was a bit snug for my full grown Chow. She is a little over weight but not good that XL size fit snug on her.She didn't want to go in the water out of fear so we didn't get to try it out. I think the life vest itself freaked her out...But I'm still glad we got it - for possible future use.Deliver was on time and I would order from them again...

The vest works fine and the handles are good for lifting the dog out of the water or transferring from dinghy or dock to the yacht. The zipper can come undone and it would be helpful if there was a snap at the neck to prevent this from happening.We used it while living on the boat in the Caribbean. The material fades after a while of daily use and becomes brittle.Owen
