I have a 50-pound terrier mix named Orion who looks and acts like a deranged Muppet. He’s also not a good swimmer. We went to our neighborhood park today, which features a large lake in the center. I put this life jacket on him (first time wearing one) and let him float around in the water for a second. My fiancé said, “Hey, maybe don’t let him in the water without a leash, because he’s insane.” I insisted he was fine; he always came back when he got tired. Orion realized he was now invincible, so he shot off after a flock of geese. I once again told Robert, the owner of this Amazon account, that everything was fine.
Orion was gliding smoothly through the water, frightening local wildlife and drawing attention from the large crowd of evening joggers and strolling families. I kept insisting he was fine, everything was fine, it’s just a dog chasing geese. Sure, there was a $200 fine for off-leash dogs, but it wouldn’t come to that. He would get tired in a minute and come back.
After fifteen minutes, it became clear that he was not coming back. In fact, he was picking up speed. This park bordered a busy road, so I grew afraid he would climb out at an unideal spot and be squashed flat in front of several children. We pulled our mastiff puppy out of the water (he’s an angel) and grabbed his life jacket (different brand, irrelevant here) and I wrapped it around my body and kind of waddle-leapt into the water after this freaking dog.
I never got within fifty yards of him. The Vivaglory New Sports Style Ripstop Dog Life Jacket is that good.
After flailing and shouting “Orion” for fifteen minutes in front of the community, I flopped to shore in defeat. Robert paced the edge of the lake for a while. Orion kept gliding through the sea and upsetting geese, content to have found his calling, glowing with the essence of someone who is living their best life.
A soccer mom with four (FOUR!) children surrounding her on various vehicles approached. She said she knew the park conservancy people who could unlock a nearby shed and haul a boat out. Meanwhile, another group of children started to draw the geese toward them with breadcrumbs. Orion followed the flock toward the crumb-filled shore. Robert ripped his shirt off and crouched, ready to leap when Orion was close enough. The soccer mom pushed her stroller, which was tied to a puppy (a puppy! Who is she!) toward the conservancy shed to wait for one of her local government contacts. It was down a trail and across a parking lot, so she stationed her children at various points and instructed them to find and notify her if Orion was caught and the boat was not needed.
The breadcrumb children, who were all wearing costumes in May, I feel is important to add, threw those crumbs for all they were worth. The geese got closer and closer, and Orion edged toward the bank, and Robert—who hates both swimming and attention—yelled and barreled into the water, leapt on our dog, and hauled him to shore.
One of the soccer mom’s kids biked off to relay the news. I jogged after him to thank her personally.
“You got him?” she asked when I told her the news. “Thank god. They couldn’t get the boat out, anyway.”
And you know what? They wouldn’t have needed to. Keep your boat, park conservancy people. Keep your generosity, you friendly parental anomaly. Orion would have been perfectly fine. He had the Vivaglory New Sports Style Ripstop Dog Life Jacket.

Great Life Vest!!
The large fit my 65lb German shepherd mix perfectly. She was a little wider chested than the size guide suggested for a L so I was contemplating between a L and XL. This L one fit great. It had adjustable Velcro and straps around the ribcage and chest so there was no issue adjusting. Very buoyant, love the hi-vis color on the water.We ended up going down the rapids on the tube, she got flipped out. She had no issue staying upright and I was able to single handedly pull her up into my tube by the handle on the life vest. Super sturdy. Absolutely great purchase for dogs on the water.

I wanted to get my puppy a vest that she could grow in to. She is a rescue so we are not exactly sure how big she will get when full grown. I picked this one because it had all the things I was looking for and the price was reasonable. It is made of quality material, reinforced stitching, light weight padding, reflective strips, handle at the top, buckle in the right spot for the leash, easy adjustable straps that have a study clip/snap, velcro around the tummy for less rubbing when wet. For an added bonus, they give you an extra piece of velco for the neck closure so when your dog grows you can cover the exposed velco so yor fur baby's hair doesn't get stuck in the velco. Nice. Now we are ready to learn to kayak!

Aside from her first barrel-roll, she loves it
Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2024
First time out for the doggos on iSUPs so they had to get life jackets! She walked right off the edge of the board, did a barrel roll in the water and was then lifted back on board by the handle. All in all, a good first go and can't find any faults with the product! She's a chunk, so went with the medium even though her measurements suggested a small. I'm glad we sized up, it fit perfectly since the straps can be tightened.

We bought this back in July of 2018 and I'm just now getting around to writing a review. It has held up very well after six summers of use. We've taken him to lakes all over the SW USA and also to British Columbia, Canada.
Our dog swims very well with out the life jacket and he seems to also have no problem swimming while wearing it. If the lake is warm and shallow, we'll let him swim near the shore with out wearing it. If we take the paddleboards across the lake, we'll put it on him for extra safety. He likes to occasionally jump off the board and swim next to the SUP boards.
Tip - To keep it looking nice for many years, always rinse it after use in salt water and try to keep it out of the sun when not in use.

The XL size is a great fit for our golden retriever (weight fluctuates between 68 to 75 lbs).

Our golden retriever's weight usually fluctuates between about 68 to 75lbs depending on the season. At one point he was just over 80lbs. We bought him the "L" (large) size at first but it was a bit too snug. The XL (extra large) size is a perfect fit for his broad chest.Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2023

Die vielen Einstellmöglichkeiten lassen die weste perfekt anpassen... das ganze wirkt sehr sicher und stabil. Der Griff am Rücken ist auch super und trägt sein gewicht gut.
Er hasst schwimmen zwar trotzdem noch aber ich fühle mich sicherer wenn ich ihn mit auf dem SUP habe. Die Farbe ist auch gut sichtbar im wasser. Er kann mit der weste laufen, sitzen und liegen. Klar ist die bewegungsfreieheit ein wenig eingeschränkt aber es ist nicht dramatisch in unserem fall.
Und ja Hunde können schwimmen aber auch sie haben nicht unendlich kraft. Kälte, erschöpfung, verletzungen, strömungen... auch ein Hund kann ertrinken. Die weste erleichtert mir es ihn im wasser wieder zu finden, ihn mit hilfe des griffes leichter aus dem wasser heben zu können und er bekommt auftrieb durch die weste und braucht somit weniger kraft um sich selbst über wasser zu halten. Safety first.
