Dog Life Vest with Back Handle in Shark, Mermaid and Fish Designs

This swim vest wraps around a dog's chest and belly with adjustable straps and buckles, and a handle on the back gives you something to grab at the pool, lake or dock. The shell is polyester, and the shapes are playful: a gray shark with a fin, a pink mermaid with a scaled tail, a clownfish, plus plain colors in green, orange, red, black and purple, and a few printed styles. The style you pick is a matter of looks only, and each one comes in the same sizes.

Sizing runs XS to XL and follows chest, neck and weight. XS suits chests of 11.8-16.5 in (30-42 cm), necks of 9.8-13.8 in (25-35 cm) and weights of 4.4-11 lb (2-5 kg). S covers chests of 16.1-20.9 in (41-53 cm), necks of 14.2-18.5 in (36-47 cm) and 13.2-19.8 lb (6-9 kg). M covers chests of 16.1-24.8 in (41-63 cm), necks of 15.7-18.9 in (40-48 cm) and 22-44 lb (10-20 kg). L covers chests of 19.7-29.5 in (50-75 cm), necks of 16.5-21.3 in (42-54 cm) and 48.5-77.2 lb (22-35 kg). XL covers chests of 27.6-38.6 in (70-98 cm), necks of 19.7-27.6 in (50-70 cm) and 79.4-110.2 lb (36-50 kg). Measure the chest and neck first, then check the weight, and choose the size where all three fit.

No flotation rating or safety certification is provided for this vest, so treat it as a swim aid and stay close to your dog every time. Let your dog try the vest on dry land, fasten every buckle, and check that you can slide two fingers under the straps. Rinse it in fresh water after swimming and let it dry in the air.
