Great PFD
This is the second one I have purchased as I have adopted another Australian Shepherd, I use them when we go canoeing or anytime we do anything by the water, it was awesome that it was listed as used even though it looks new.

Love the Fit
I was hesitant on spending this much, but I’m really happy with the Ruffwear life jacket. Mainly, I like that it slips over his head and doesn’t have a Velcro strap across the front. Also, it’s got a nice feature that keeps the excess straps, once tightened, from hanging down. I also really appreciate that it’s got a clip to attach a dog leash. That will be perfect for dock diving lessons!

Great condition!
I purchased this life vest used for my dog and was so impressed by its condition when I received it. If I didn’t know it was bought used, I’d assume it was brand new! Very happy with the quality and the comfort it seems to bring my dog in the water.

Fits like a glove
I ordered the smallest size for my Chihuahua. The float coat fits like a glove. And I'm impressed by the quality. Great!

Perfect
Being a staffy Gibbs swims bottom heavy , but the life jacket has allowed him to enjoy the sea by supporting his whole body. Gibbs loves his life jacket, it’s given him the confidence to swim.
