Doesn’t inhibit swimming or running

August 17, 2023

I wish I could give it 10 stars, I’m not kidding. We ordered a small for our 36lb Corgi. He measures 24” from his shoulder to where his tail starts, and it fits him perfectly. (There was a lot of extra strap, so it would still fit a much broader chested dog.) Here’s what I love: - The vest loops over the head and around the chest. No unnecessary arm holes means exceptional range of motion. Rollo swam, ran and climbed easily on this vacation. - Really sturdy handle and wide belly coverage made lifting him into kayaks, docks, paddle boards and canoes a breeze while being comfortable for him. - Durable! Rollo likes to roll in the dirt and drag himself along the ground to ‘dry off’ 🙄 when he gets out of the water. This vest didn’t tear or fray, and the dirt hosed right off it. - Convenient. The buckles are well placed and schnict securely into place. The extra strap has a Velcro strap to keep it from flapping. The handle is padded so it very comfortable to lift a 36 lb Corgi with. And last but not least, they thoughtfully put in a nice overlap where the two sides of the vest meet so that there’s no accidental pinching.

She is so adorable in this vest, we swam all day yesterday and she just bobbed around with me happy as could be! She was so much more comfortable with a feeling of extra security, and me too, and the handle is just great to pluck her up or hand her off to someone when we get out !!!!!
