Contoured Neck FlotationContoured neck design enables an ergonomic fit that allows dogs to maintain their natural swim pattern while keeping their head above water. |
ReflectiveReflective accents are incorporated throughout the DFD to increase nighttime visibility and overall safety. |
Grab HandleThe sturdy grab handle located on the back makes it easy to guide your dog into and out of the water or keep them close when necessary. |
Built-In Leash AttachmentNo collar, no problem! The DFD comes standard with a built-in leash attachment for escorting your dog to the water and keeping them close. |
Swimming
Whether your dog is small, medium, or large sized, this EzyDog Life Jacket packs extra buoyant foam to ensure dogs stay afloat, strategically distributed to allow them to maintain a natural swimming position. It's perfect for experienced swimmers as well as training canines to swim. Swimming with a life preserver can also be a good form of exercise for dogs that are recovering from an injury or need more assistance floating.
Playing Near Water
Dog life jackets are essential for playing near water with your dog. Knowing they'll remain afloat gives you peace of mind and allows you to safely engage with them in games of fetch near the shore. The reflective properties added to the EzyDog Life Vest will provide visibility and brightness for increased safety when near the water.
Paddle Boarding
Paddle boarding with dogs is a great way to bond and explore together but it can also be challenging. Having your dog properly equipped with a reliable life jacket will make the time you spend floating with your dog safer and more enjoyable. The padded soft materials are comfortable to wear and provide excellent aid when in and out of the water.
Taking Your Dog To Water
The EzyDog DFD Dog Flotation Device includes all the features necessary to comfortably take your dog boating and kayaking. The leash attachment allows you to lead them to the boat while the grab handle makes it easier to assist them in and out of the boat ensuring a secure and safe grip.

Customers are mixed about the straps. Some mention they are made very well and the adjustable straps ensure the jacket can be worn. The wide straps underneath his torso made it very easy to pull him. However, some customers say the second strap was a bit loose at the tightest placement. The straps are a little tight when adjusting them but they stay in position very well. The only drawback are the buckles for the tummy straps and the Velcro caught in his hair.

for reference, we bought her a size medium and she is an airedale terrier that weighs around 45 pounds and it fits her very well. it is easy to put on her and adjust it to fit and it has a handle on the back of it that you can grab in case she would fall off the boat or canoe. it also has a clip on it to put a leash on so you don’t have to carry the jacket. when she is in the water, it keeps her head above at all times and most of her back above the water as well.
all the other dog parents were obsessed with her life jacket and wanted one for their dog too. overall we love this life jacket and so does holly. this is definitely worth the money for any dog and we would definitely recommend this product!

My biggest worry when i first bought it is that it may not fit or that it may be too bulky and my dog might not be able to run. On the first day we tried it, all my worries were put to rest. My pup was able to run as fast as she used to without the DFD. I can also now not worry too much when she goes deep in the water as i know that she won't fatigue too quickly and if it does happen, she will be floating.
The EzyDog DFD is comfy for my pup as well. On the first time we tried it on her, she seemed a bit scared of it but as soon as she went into the water and discovered that it made it easier for her to swim, she loved it. Now everytime we say we are gonna go "walkies" she does not mind having to wear the EzyDog DFD.
I will update later if it does/ does not last. :)
Update: it is still great.. No signs of tears at all. We use it almost everyday at the beach and it is still great. Yesterday I attached a go pro to the neck strap and I got really good videos.
Here is a link to a video showing my dog wearing the ezydog dfd:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T376utMjHss
Durability: The jacket we got through Amazon broke - the weakest point is definitely the front strap that goes around the neck/chest of the dog. We used the handle (on back) for lifting our dog out of the water a few times, and, after only one full day of sun and surf, it popped clean off. Everything else seems really solid and well made. I wish the weakest point were located elsewhere - though the dog will still float if this part breaks, it is very easy for it to slip off and/or get tangled around the dog's legs if this occurs. I think that, with some nylon and a sewing machine, you could easily reinforce this area if it becomes an issue for you. I suspect we had a bit of a fluke, since the material and seam quality otherwise seems great, but design-wise, this seems like a bit of a flaw to me. Any dog being "helped" by the handle, or with a leash attached to the back buckle, or even just jumping off a dock/boat into the water is going to put pressure on this point of the design, so it should be sturdier than it is. From the other lifejackets I have seen in person (though we have not tried them in the water), quality seems to be a bit better than Outward Hound, and similar to Ruffwear (though the actual design of Ruffwear's jacket has some benefits, I think). If using for boating or less hyper-active dog, you will probably never encounter these design flaws.
Customer Service: As mentioned, they are amazing. We didn't use the jacket until over a month after I actually ordered the thing from Amazon, so couldn't return, but I emailed EzyDog and they shipped out a replacement, no questions asked. With the replacement, they included an apology note, a dog cookie, and a bonus collar accessory for swapping tags if you have multiple collars. It got here in less than three days and was in great condition. We weren't even asked to return the old one, saving shipping cost and hassle. So some definite bonus points here.
Size: True to dimensions given, and very easy to adjust. We went with medium, and our dog is pretty slim for 55 lbs - his girth is not quite 30" and, though a little longer than 20", we wanted the jacket to sit more towards the front of his body (keeping his head above water is more important than his butt!). After we adjusted them, there was minimal "slip" after a full day of use (continued adjustment was not required).
Bulk: It is a little bulky at first - after we got it wet and had it on the dog for a while, it seemed to form to his body a little more (it is flat when it arrives, and quick to return to that board-like state). Gordon (dog) had no trouble running / swimming / fetching with it on though - it did not seem to slow him down at all.
