I go boating with a friend who brings her lab. He always has this life jacket on. Any dog near any water should have one on, even by the pool!

A plus with this jacket is it comes in bright neon colors with mesh underneath that dries out so the dog does not get overheated when in the boat.

Pros: Neon colors

Cons: None

We got this for Marley when he was younger. We thought "he's a lab, me must love the water." Well, we were sorely mistaken. Have you ever heard of a lab who is afraid of the water? What a silly guy. Well, he got to wear his life jacket once and that was the last time he went in the lake.

Pros: safety

Cons: nothing

Our dog wore one of these when we'd go canoeing, and while she wasn't crazy about it, it gave us the peace of mind that if she should fall out, she wouldn't sink before we could get her back in the boat. A life jacket of some kind is essential for a dog in water you don't know well.

Pros: Does its job

Cons: Dog has to get used to it

I bought these for my sister's pugs who frequently go on a boat with them. The dogs don't seem to mind wearing them and it definitely makes us feel better that they will be safe if they fall into the water. Be careful though that the dogs don't overheat in them on a hot day.

Pros: Great Safety Tool

Cons: None

I needed a good life jacket for our dog when we go out on the lake, and this product does the trick. Everyone needs one if you are going to have your dogs on rougher water, or if you will be far away from shore. It always is better to be safe than sorry.

Pros: Great for keeping pets safe

Cons: None
