When she did swim, she was awful and struggled to keep her head up and could not maneuver very well. I began the search for a good life jacket last fall. After much research and reading reviews about cheaper ones that rubbed, were bulky, or had weak fabric or straps, I narrowed it down to the Ruffwear Float Coat or the Kurgo Surf n'Turf. The Ruffwear looked like it would fit her body better and was available locally at REI. Plus, I love yellow!Its a bit pricey, but its very well made and should last a very long time. It took a couple tries to get it adjusted just right, but once its set, you don't have to mess with it unless your dog loses weight with all that swimming. I let her wear it around the house for a while to get used to it. She tried to rub it off a bit, but was ok with it. Then we went to a calm small lake so she could try it out. She was nervous about going in the water with it on, but once she realized she wasn't struggling to keep her head up, she relaxed a bit. The real test was the second time she wore it, when she knew what it was. She had no hesitation going into the river with it on and was having a blast. Not only did she swim out to get her floating toy, but she wanted everyone on the beach to throw it so she could go get it again. When she was done with fetch, she just swam for the pure joy of swimming.The best part is she's now a MUCH better swimmer. She's learned to maneuver and turn and she can keep her head up without a struggle even without the life jacket. She's not afraid of the waves the boats make anymore and she LOVES to swim. With her Float Coat, she can swim for hours.The Float Coat is a bit stiff, especially at first, but its tough and it works great. Meg is very stable in the water when she wears it and can handle being in the wake and still keep her head out of the water. It seems comfortable and does not rub anywhere. Meg even wore it on a hike along the lake. She loves putting it on.The handle on top comes in handy. I did pick Meg up by the handle just to test it. Meg wasn't thrilled, but the handle and straps held and the padding underneath made it tolerable for her. If I needed to haul her into the boat, it would help do the job.Now I need to get another one for my Lab. He can swim great, but tires long before Meg (with her Float Coat). I highly recommend this product!Just an added note on sizing: Both of my dogs are in between sizes. Meg has a 27" girth and Bear (lab mix) has a 32" girth. The Ruffwear website recommends choosing the smaller size, but both my dogs are also a bit long in body. For Meg I went with the Medium and it fits perfect adjusted to nearly the smallest it will go. I tried the Medium on Bear, and while he can wear it (straps are plenty long enough, neck fits), it looks too short in body length. I'll be getting him a large. So if you have a short bodied dog that is between sizes, I'd say got with the smaller. Longer bodied dogs should go with the larger size.The medium is 14 1/2" for the length of the back. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, effective and very well designed *by M***R on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on July 30, 2012* I was hesitant to spend this much money on a PFD for my dog. After using it I'm really glad I did. The vest is really well designed and is easy to put on and take off. Our dog didn't seem to mind wearing it at all. We bought this vest so we could start taking our dog with us when we go kayaking. He was already a strong swimmer but this gave him the confidence to stay in the water for most of our trip. What I really appreciate about this vest is there are no exposed straps or buckles. Everything is concealed and neatly tucked away. This was very important when we needed to lift him out of the water and into the kayak. The other jackets we looked at all had the straps and buckles exposed along the sides which could have easily gotten caught on something when pulling him into the kayak.The vest is very well made and I expect it will stand up to years of use. The material is very durable and it is highly visible and reflective so it can be seen from a great distance. This vest also did a great job of keeping him up and his head out of the water even when he wasn't actively kicking. This vest wraps completely around the dogs chest while most other vests stop along the sides and only the straps wrap around. This is important for 3 reasons: it prevents their fur from getting caught in the buckles, it adds flotation material under dog providing additional buoyancy, and finally it distributes pressure when lifting him up and out of water across entire chest. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Love it so much we're getting two! *by A***O on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on April 28, 2014* Third life vest we've purchased and finally the one we are not returning! Getting one for the second dog after we return the other brand. Dog is a 55lb catahoula mix and we purchased a Medium in Dandelion Yellow. She looks adorable and is swimming much easier now.We kayak and boat frequently and want our dogs to be safe and not tire too quickly. With this jacket she doesn't have to work as hard, and she is much easier to pull back into the boat when she jumps out to go swimming. It seems to be built well and i don't hesitate to pull her up by the handle. Because it is situated towards the front of the vest it is easier to pull up and get her back in the boat. The other vests had handles in the middle and it would pull them to the side when we tried to get them back in the boat.One thing important to note is the length of the vest. It is not on this site but on the Ruffwear site. Our other dog fits the chest and weight requirement but when we put this size on her she was not long enough. The edge of the vest hit her in the hip when she tried to sit or lie down and would not have been comfortable. She is getting a small even though she is 45 lbs and a chest depth of 27"Overall excellent product. Most expensive but best quality. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/533478843-ruffwear-float-coat-reflective-life-jacket-for-dogs-dandelion-yellow](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/533478843-ruffwear-float-coat-reflective-life-jacket-for-dogs-dandelion-yellow) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-06*
