Outward Hound Dog Life Jacket

Outward Hound Dog Life Jacket

Description

The Outward Hound Granby Dog Life Jacket is a high-performance dog flotation device for boating, water sports, the beach, the pool, and other water adventures with dogs.

Designed with novice swimmers in mind, the neoprene side panels of this dog life vest will keep your dog safe by providing them with comfortable buoyancy and thermal insulation for chilly days on the water.

A front neck float adds extra support to help them keep their head above water.

Top grab handles provide an easy way to retrieve your dog in an emergency.

Adjustable straps keep them secure both in and out of the water.

For small dogs, sizes XS and small come with one top handle, and for larger dogs, sizes medium-XL come with dual rescue handles.

Since dogs come in various shapes and sizes, please select the appropriate dog life jacket size after taking your dog's girth measurement along the widest part of your dog's rib cage.

Make sure to take any other unique traits (i.e., large shoulders, long torso) into consideration.

The Dawson dog life vest is available in multiple colors to fit your dog's personality!

SAFETY AND CARE: This is a flotation aid intended for use on a conscious dog in calm waters.

Use rescue handle to lift dogs in emergencies only.

Do not leave dog unattended while using this product.

Intended for dog use only.

SIZING BASED ON GIRTH: Dogs come in all shapes and sizes.

Whether your dog is short and stout or long and lanky, there's a dog life jacket fit for them.

Available in sizes XS-XL and featuring adjustable straps, we've made it easy for you to choose a size that supports them based on their girth measurement.

We recommend sizing up if the dog's girth size is on the higher end of this size.

SPLASH WITH SAFETY: The Outward Hound Granby Splash life jacket for dogs is designed with bright colors and reflective accents to provide better visibility while swimming.

A front neck float helps keep your dog's head above water whether they are a novice or experienced swimmer.

NOVICE & EXPERIENCED SWIMMER-FRIENDLY: The Granby Splash dog life jacket is constructed with ripstop material that provides maximum buoyancy in the water without restricting movement on land.

Adjustable straps and side release buckles provide a secure fit and neoprene belly band supports their chest and belly while getting their float on!

Do not leave with unsupervised pets.

My Bichon is 17.5lbs and girth is around 19....wondering if a medium would be best? I don't want the small to fit too tightly? Your thoughts??

We got the small for our Malti-tzu who is 14lbs and 17in. girth and it fits him with a little room to spare (has adjustable straps) and we got the medium for our pug who is 23lbs and 25in girth.

The medium is really too long for him but because of his thick broad chest & neck we had to get a larger size (he is only 15in from his neck to tail the malti-tzu is 17).

The life jacket does have a neoprene belly band that is made to fit a little snug, but does not seem uncomfortable to the dogs (it has a small margin of adjustment to it).

It's a very well made life jacket and you can't beat this price anywhere.

Your dogs' girth is so close to the max for the small it could probably fit a medium but keep in mind that it would be long and maybe even a little loose.

However, if your dog keeps a summer haircut the small may be just fine.

Hope this helped you.

Is there any place to attach a leash?

No hook ups for a leash.

We attached a big carabiner to the handles or looped the leash around the handles and attached it back to itself.

Does this have a metal ring to connect a leash or can a harness be used underneath and still able to be clipped to a leash?

Hi this life jacket doesn't ha Metal ring to connect.

Collar might attach it to the leash, not harness.

Thank you!

Is this yellow or orange? Item says orange picture looks yellow.

Orange/redish and looks great on my GOLDEN golden doodle.

Bought a striped hat to match to keep sun out of her eyes.

She gets the smiles for sure.
