Outward Hound Granby Splash Orange Dog Life Jacket, Small

Perfect Safety and Style for Water Adventures!
I recently purchased the Outward Hound Granby Splash Dog Life Jacket for my golden retriever, and I couldn’t be happier with it! This life jacket is not only incredibly stylish with its vibrant yellow color, but it also provides excellent buoyancy and support. My pup feels secure and comfortable, whether we’re at the lake or the beach.The adjustable straps make it easy to get the perfect fit, and the handle on the top is a great feature for helping him out of the water when needed. Plus, it dries quickly and is easy to clean! I’ve noticed that he now feels more confident in the water, and I can relax knowing he’s safe. Highly recommend this life jacket for any dog lover looking to ensure their furry friend enjoys water activities safely! Five stars!

Good product at a decent price
I originally got a large for my old and arthritic 50# shepherd/heeler mix in 2015. I started to get worried that she would jump or fall off the float tube or follow me when I was paddling around the lake and wouldn’t be able to make it back to shore, so I bought her one of these. It gave me some peace of mind and I started taking her with me more instead of leaving her at camp. I tried it on my new shepherd mix when I first adopted him in October 2018 and it just fit (he was about 70#). After a winter of fetch and long walks he had put on about 10# of muscle and the large didn’t fit (it’s been a while but I think his girth was 32″). According to the size chart the large should fit dogs up to 85# with a 32″ girth, but there was no way those buckles were snapping together. I ordered an XL for him and it fits great. He loves to go kayaking with me and I feel much more secure knowing he has it on. I still have the large size and it’s still in great shape. I plan on using it for my 60# lab mix when it gets warm enough. I’ll update this review if I discover an issue when we start going on the water again. I really like these life jackets and have not directly experienced any issues with quality or performance but am only giving 4 stars because:1) I don’t think there’s any chance that the front flap will hold the dogs head out of the water if needed. It might work for small dogs, but for large dogs it just doesn’t look reasonably possible. This is unfortunate as it’s one of the advertised qualities that initially attracted me to this product.2) I don’t think the grab handles would hold up very well with use as they are just sewn to the top of the jacket and are not part of the straps that go under the dogs chest. Some reviewers have noted this issue, but I think the packaging says they should only be used in an emergency. So maybe not the best option if you have a larger dog that you’ll need to lift into boat or onto dock repeatedly. Again, probably fine for small dogs as the product quality seems decent. I just think it could’ve been designed better.3) Sizing issue as noted above.Update 02/13/22: Both jackets still holding up well. The one I bought in 2015 looks as good as the one I got in 2019. Still only use for fetching in water and kayaking. I do not use the handles to lift the dogs, they mostly just wear them while running about. I’m back today to order one for my 4-legged niece who loves to swim and run about, but gets stiff and sore very quickly. Also adding pictures, hope someone finds them helpful. Black and white dog is 60-65#, girth 30″. Black and tan dog is about 80#, girth 32″. Second picture is to show difference is size. Top life jacket is large (old style) and lower is extra large. Pink is medium I received by mistake.

Pedí este chaleco para mi perro que nunca se había metido al mar solo se mojaba las patas, ya tiene 4 años, nunca se animaba!!Y con este lo he visto más seguro ya se mete en ratitos con más confianza, trae una jaladera en la parte superior de la cual uno los puede ayudar un poco, me gustó que es de muy buena calidad y muy cómodo para el, que eso era lo que temía que no le fuera a gustar pero sin problema se lo pone y anda agusto!! Es ligero!! Si lo recomiendo!!!

excelente calidad de materiales
