Shopper : will this size fit a German Shepard he weighs 85 pounds?Life jacketJ D : My yellow lab is fairly large at 90 lbs and it adjusted to fit her well. The added buoyancy gives her extra freeboard that she can use at 9 years of age.

Rated 5 out of 5

Great purchase, worth the price if you'll need it for the long term.

Comfortable and easy to put on. I picked the smaller size as we were in between. Usually he slips out of the neck easily on a medium so the small is snug. Gives him confidence to learn to swim, he's not a big fan of the pool. Will also use at lakes for visibility to boats and safety while riding in the boat. We have a 15 year old large size vest that is still perfectly usable from our dog that became arthritic and needed to be hoisted into the boat with the back handle. It worked great.

Best vest out there!

Absolutely love this vest for our dog. This design is amazing and well made. We had a small for our dog when he was a puppy and now that he is full grown we bought the medium. We passed the small on to a family member, it's a durable vest and will last a long time! Our dog is a great swimmer but hardly comes out of the water, so the vest puts our mind at ease if he gets tired. He is easy to spot in the bright orange as well. The vest is easy to put on and take off, and the handle is fantastic to pull him up on docks or kayaks. And it goes in the washing machine! Highly recommended.

Excellent product! Met and exceeded expectations.

Although our dog measured a solid 26", which the size guide recommended a small for under 27", we got the medium as our pup at 49lbs and 11 months of age is expected to grow a bit more. The medium fit perfectly!! Nice and snug, great freedom of movement, helps keep his head above water as he goes through the Atlantic surf,. The handle is great for grabbing him to help him over a breaker, or hoist him on to his surf board. The handle will prove equally useful for liffting him into the boat. A truly good product.
