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.

"...Size large fits her perfectly and the adjustable straps easily adapt to her disproportionate barrel chest and skinny belly...." Read more

"...The one on the EzyDog vest hardly sticks up at all...." Read more

"...They ate able to swim more naturally like this. There's an adjustable chin strap that keeps the dog's head out of water...." Read more

Not sure this is long enough for a Great Dane-see pictures

Not sure this is long enough for a Great Dane-see pictures
We received the EzyDog life vest today. I’ve included pictures of my Great Dane, Kissy, wearing the vest after we made adjustments for the fit, but I’m not sure yet if it is long enough for our 5 year old, 165-175 lb (tall) female Great Dane, but have no way to test it. And if you are a Great Dane owner, you know by her expressions on her face she is not excited about this new article of clothing. At this time of year, we don’t have a means to put her in water in December to confirm controlled flotation. Our pool is covered and closed in December so too cold here to test the vest in water. (She was put in the pool once as a 6-month old puppy and did swim the several feet to the steps (to make sure she could if she fell in) and she was NOT happy with her daddy, at all!), and she avoids being in the water at all costs so I would say she is not a “swimmer dog”.) And especially with the giant breeds, when you put the vest on, adjust the neck strap first to make sure the colored flotation part is all the way around the large neck/head area of these breeds, otherwise the colored flotation part will not fit all the way around neck/head area if you adjust the chest first,— the neck strap will be too low and you will just see the black strap around the neck, which will no support the head. The straps around the chest and the belly are pretty wide so should be more comfortable than narrow straps in this area. We had her wear the vest for about an hour tonight (until she clearly asked that it be removed) and will put it on her everyday to get her used to it. We have not found ANY dog life vest that accommodates the weight of a Great Dane—I only found “99+” lbs for those that even gave a weight. If anyone found a size AND weight for a Great Dane dog life vest that supports a Great Dane, PLEASE let me know in these comments. We bought this because we recently bought a 44’ Maxim 4100 SCR cabin cruiser to go along the Floria coast and to Bahamas and I have to have some kind of peace of mind for my baby for emergencies.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best life jacket for our dog!
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2020
this life jacket works amazing for our dog, holly! we originally bought it for when we go on a boat or canoeing, but we brought her to the lake with it to go swimming and now she doesn’t go without it. she is a very strong swimmer but with this life jacket it helps her to swim longer and quicker.

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great customer service!
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2015
Though it has a few small design flaws, this is a solid lifejacket, and EzyDog has amazing customer service.

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.
