 It floats! Aug 13, 2009
By Annniek
"annie"
I have a chihuahua with a very small build. She weighs almost 4 pounds and doesn't have the barrel chest that many chihuahuas have. We ordered her an XXS jacket, and it fits well enough to keep her afloat but not really well. It fits great through the chest area, but because of how stiff the jacket is the tail end of the jacket sticks up over her bum and makes it hard for her to float by tipping her body forward in the water! Although I know that it would be great in an emergency, she can't really wear it just to swim around because it dunks her face into the lake. BUT I think this is an issue specific to her tiny little body and on most dogs it would fit just fine. It definitely floats, and I love the mesh underside- it's very comfortable for her to wear and drains and dries quickly.

High fashion but functionality needs help Sep 23, 2010
By Brandy
I have a German Shepherd. She is over 50 lbs. and long. The jacket seems to float her back end very high, forcing her head to be low in the water. The jacket needs some additional support under the chin area for a dog that is larger. She has a hard time keeping her head above the water since her tummy and rear are so high. We have tightened the front (neck area) as much as possible to bring the jacket forward on her body, but it has not helped.
I also have a Yorkie and her small jacket on her small body works great.
So, if you have a small dog, I recommend this jacket. If you have a large dog, you might consider getting the less attractive jacket, which I have found to work much better with this size dog.

 Great Dog Life Jacket Jul 09, 2010
By Tiffany
I ordered the pink/polka dot version for my very large Dogue De Bordeaux (French Mastiff, 90lbs). The jacket was promptly shipped and arrived at my house in less than a week, I think it was only 3 days - just in time for her 1st birthday party.
I was very pleased with the fit, the jacket velcros securely around her deep chest and buckles for added safety. The front portion fastens the same manner. Both can be adjusted very easily for different body shapes without compromising the fit.
I was intially concerned the jacket seemed thin, but Kiwi has used it many times now and it helps her float very well. She never has minded running around, swimming and hanging out in the jacket, so I assume it's comfortable for her to wear.
Overall, very, very pleased with Paws Aboard Designer Life Jacket - Polka Dot.

Deceptive photo, not a great fit Jun 29, 2010
By Jools
My primary concern is that the neck of this jacket doesn't fit my dog well, but the next size up is too big. The neck adjusts, but the jacket just isn't built well for a dachshund.
Also, Paws Aboard has changed the look of its jackets, plastering its not-small logo on both sides of the jacket, not just on the top, as shown in this photo. It's unfortunate, because it makes your dog look a like a little walking billboard.
I had great hopes for this jacket, but even if the neck fit, I probably would have sent it back, because having the logo plastered on both sides makes it look cheap/tacky.

By Samantha Luker
My 4 lb chihuahua loves her new lifejacket, the handle on top is ideal. Id buy this again for my other dogs.
