Paulette Galop - 2009-06-24Great life vest,
My great dane is an intense swimmer. She thinks she is a retriever. The life vest helps her stay afloat when she gets tired. It fits well and she doesn't mind wearing it at all.
John Yoo - 2009-06-24Great Life Jacket for my Dog
This float jacket has been a great addition to our summer routine. My dog loves the water, but used to get really tired after being in the water for a little while. However, with the new jacket she can stay in as long as she wants. It also doesn't hurt that the jacket is very stylish. I wish I got this jacket sooner.
Julie H - 2009-06-19Who knew my dog could swim!
Zeus, my boxer mix, has never been much of a swimmer -- his rear end sinks & he starts to panic. He has hip dysplasia & weak knees so swimming is the best thing for him. The 1st time I put on this jacket, he swam the full length of the pool. His chest is getting so big from swimming, I'm afraid he's about to outgrow his large jacket soon!

Jaeda - 2009-06-17Tuff, durable, and looks great!!
We have a special needs chocolate lab that loves to float in the lake. Her left elbow is turned inside and she can't use it to swim. After researching several pet PFDs, we decided on this one. It works great, it's comfortable for her, and it helps keep her head above water. The strap is awesome because we have to pull her back up on to the boat. Great product, thanks.
casey carroll - 2009-06-14Ansel the Golden Retriever Struts His Stuff!
I ordered our one year old golden retriever, Ansel (yes, named for the photographer)a LARGE float coat and it fits him perfect. Ansel weighs 78 pounds. The weather has not cooperated yet this year for us to take him out canoeing, but Ansel loves wearing the vest and walks around in it like he is a doggy model (he will do anything for a laugh).
We just know that this float coat is just what we were looking for.
Terri Moore - 2009-06-06Fast shipping
The Coat does not fit around my Bulldogs neck but it still works okay. Hes a muscular boy.....
Ellen - 2009-05-27Love it
We Kayak with our corgi Boo. This coat fits him great although I have to put velcro on the straps as they are to long for him to walk in it. I wouldn't put Boo in our boat without his float coat
K-Lank - 2009-05-27My Labrador Loves It!
I have a lab that absolutely loves to swim and you cant get him out of the water. He used to get really tired and sore from swimming so much but with this jacket he can swim much longer and isn't as tired or sore the next day. The handle is amazing for pulling him back up into the boat or on the dock. I would recommend this jacket to anyone who wants a great product for a very reasonable price.
Mishel Seal - 2009-05-01Great vest!
We bought this safety vest for our 2 yr old terrier mix. He loves swimming already, but my husband and I want to take him kayaking with us in San Diego Bay and we're concerned about him falling over board. We measured him according to the website instructions and the vest fit him perfectly. My husband took him out already and tested picking Riley up from mid water and putting him back in the kayak. He said the vest felt sturdy and didn't seem to rub against any body parts uncomfortably. Riley weighs about 45 pounds. We're happy so far and Riley loves being out with us!
William Longstreth - 2009-03-29Great product, both my dogs adapted quickly to it's use.
I purchased K-9 Float Coat Dog Life Jackets for my two dogs, Catahoulas. One is 35 lbs. and the other 60 lbs. Both jackets fit well. The dogs seem to like them. Although they are natural swimmers, with webbed feet, the little one never liked swimming until she started wearing the jacket. They also work well to help transport the dogs to and from the boat.
Anonymous - 2009-02-04BadBoyBob with the waterlogged dog!
This dog life jacket is the bomb! It works really great! We have a 175lb Great Dane that wears it to the lake and it fits him great... and since they are not renowned swimmers, this is fun for everyone, without the hassle of pulling the dog back to shore!
Sean - 2009-01-27Great PFD for dogs
The Jacket fits well,is well constructed and my dog doesn't mind wearing it. I have a Rotty 120# bought the large and it fits like a glove. Easy to put on and non restrictive.
Anonymous - 2008-12-28Clearly the best - a must have!
I have a 65 lbs black lab, and I don't know how long a dog can swim before exhausting out, but the Ruff Wear K-9 jacket takes that fear away. It's the most rugged and sturdy of all jackets. The handle is placed on the jacket with good balance making lifting my dog into the boat very easy WITHOUT stressing the dog (or me!).
NOTE: The size chart is not perfect. My lab has a 29 in girth which indicates a Medium size, but this was too small. I advise sizing up to the Large for large breeds.
Nevertheless, customer service was flawless in making the exchange. The absolute best customer service of any internet purchase before. I highly recommend this company.
Mark Hills - 2008-10-13Great Coat
Really floats the dog well. Made to assist, doesn't float it out of the water.
Linda - 2008-10-04Ruff Wear K-9 Float Coat Life Jacket
We love the Ruff Wear K-9 Float Coat Dog Life Jacket. It fits our Great Dane perfecly. So easy to put on and he can move around in it with no problem. Very well made. We have taken him in the boat several times and feel he is very safe with it on.
Karen H. - 2008-09-02Love it!
Swimming allows my dog to exercise even though she has back problems. She's scared to swim, though, so getting her used to swimming has been interesting to say the least. The K-9 Life Jacket has been a great help. It allows her to feel more comfortable in the water and the jacket gives me something to grab onto when she needs help. It's very quick to put on and take off.
Nick Trivisonno - 2008-08-28Great for the hulks that sink!
Our two German Shepherds tend to sink when we get them in the pool. No more!!! They love their jackets and truly enjoy cooling off from our Key West heat & humidity. I'm tempted to get one for myself!! Thanks much.
Gary S - 2008-08-26QUALITY PRODUCT
WE PURCHASED THIS X-LARGE LIFE JACKET FOR OUR 175 LB ENGLISH MASTIFF FITS WELL AROUND THE CHEST BUT COULD BE A LITTLE LONGER FROM HEAD TO TAIL FLOTATION IS VERY GOOD
Mark Hills - 2008-08-25Great Life Jacket
We have a 6 month old 60 lbs. Chocolate Lab that is just learning to swim. While camping recently he decided to take the deep water plunge out of the canoe. He swam like a champ, the lift handle on the back of the life vest made it real easy to get him back in the canoe. This is a must have for water lovers.
D. Cochren - 2008-08-22Very high quality, attractive, sturdy, fits very well.
We have an American Pit Bull Terrier, 46 lbs, with wide shoulders. We have tried other life jackets, and they are tight and confining at the shoulders. Also, most others ride too high on the neck, and chafe and choke. But the Float Coat fits perfectly, leaving room at the shoulders, and not riding up at the neck. And it is very attractive, with beautifully crafted details. And our sweet Coco doesn't mind wearing it at all. She can sit and lay down in the boat comfortably, and even sleep in it. I would highly recommend it.
Boobi Jo - 2008-08-08This doggy lide jacket is the best!
The medium size was a perfect fit for my Pembroke Corgi My dog is a non-swimmer until we got this vest. It'a AMAIZING!!!!
lizzy - 2008-08-06swimming pit bull
My 80Lb. pit has had this coat for 2 years now. He loves to swim but it was hard for him to really keep his big head out of the water. With the coat he seems to keep his head much higher making it easier for him to swim. He does not mind it at all, he actually brings it to me in the morning. It held up very well until one of the buckles got shut in the car door. I am going to try to fix it but may have to order a new one.
Anonymous - 2008-08-05great doggie lifejacket!
amazingly well-built and floats my 100 lb. doggie without any issues. i am completely satisfied and can relax knowing my dog is swimming safely.
Kathy Young - 2008-08-04Great Coat for New Swimmer
Thank you for this great product! I adopted a 9 year old golden retriever who has never been in the water. He finally learned it was safe to stand on the top steps but wanted to really swim with my 2 other retrievers. After many attempts with out your coat he still couldn't do it confidently. After one day of practicing with his new coat, he's swimming like a pro and can now be a part of the daily doggie pool party! Thank you so much for this great product!
Anonymous - 2008-07-30K-9 Float Coat
We love the K-9 dog life jacket because it is well constructed,easy to put on and very comfortable. It gives our lab the extra allowing her to relax and stay in longer. The handle is great security and assistance in getting her in and out. The K-9 came quickly as well which was nice. We will certainly shop here again in the near future.
Thank you!!
Rebecca - 2008-07-21All dogs should be so lucky...
My dog loves the water, but she is part pit bull and swims very low in the water. This float coat has made a world of difference. She is more eager to go in the water and swim around. It's also more reassuring having her on the boat, knowing that if something were to happen, she will stay safe. The handle on the top of the life jacket makes it easy to pick her up in the water and pull her into the boat.
Anonymous - 2008-07-20Excellent Product
Highly recommended. I bought two, one for each of my Springers. It's a relief to know they're safe. The handle is great for lifting them out of the water.
K. Schimmel - 2008-07-16100% satisfied with the joacket and price paid for it
We have an American staffordshire terrior. He weighs 85lbs. We got the large and it fits great. He loves to swim for hours so we decided we felt safer at the lake if he had a lifejacket. This product is well made, sturdy, and I expect it to last my dog's lifetime for sure. As people meniotned, the handle on top of the jacket is extremely helpful for helping my dog out of the water onto the dock, boat, ect. Amazing product- worth the money!
mary donahue - 2008-07-14Great
Have purchased 2 large and 1 medium coat. They fit great and seem to provide the extra floation my dogs need.
Gary P. - 2008-07-09My 12 y/o Lab loved it !!
Our 12 yr old yellow lab INDY just spent the week in the surf at the Outer Banks of North Carolina. July 2008. The life jacket fit great and gave him that extra bouyancy to help with some of the bigger waves. It also made me feel better just in case he would over do it. The D ring worked well to use with the leash to go from the house to the beach, and the handle let me pull him up over some of the breakers. He didn't seem to mind wearing it at all.I would highly recommend this product for both the owner's peace of mind and the dog's safety; especially if you have an older dog who doesn't know he's older. :-)
Charlynn Wise - 2008-06-22Hershey did very well with the Ruff Wear life jacket!
Not only did the jacket fit well, it also was strong and sturdy. The first time she went in the water, the current was stronger than expected. Had it not been for her new life jacket she would have tired quickly and not enjoyed herself. Thanks for a great product!
A + J - 2008-06-22Very well made jacket
We are very happy with the jacket it fit perfectly, our dog was able to move and and swim comfortably and he even seems to like it. I would definitely recommend it. It is very well made and will last a long time. Our Lab is a good swimmer but it's reassuring to know he has a sturdy dependable jacket when needed.
Anonymous - 2008-06-16DOG love the vests
The vest is wonderful. The vest is lightweight and the fit is great. Bought one for each of my three Black Labs. Got the vest primarily for my oldest lab that has seizures and decided each of them should have a vest. I want them to be able to swim and be safe. They all loved the vest!
Margaret Sullivan - 2008-06-02A wonderful product which has proved invaluable to us.
My elderly Golden Retriever has always been a strong swimmer but, due to a recent illness, I was having concerns about letting him swim in the pool now because his back legs have very little strength at the moment. The life jacket has been an absolute God send and I can now safely allow him to exercise again. It has made the world of difference to us both.
Anonymous - 2008-05-27Great Accessory to a weekend at the lake
We tried this product for the first time this weekend at the lake. It was a great fit for our 67 lb. weimaraner/chocolate lab mix (we ordered a size medium for her lean build). The handle on top is a lifesaver when trying to lift her back into the boat. I would recommend it to anyone.
Mary Donahue - 2008-05-13Boxers and swimming
I am very impressed with the quality of the jacket. I have three boxers who are taking swimming lessons at the Sterling Rehabilitation Center in Walpole, Mass. Needless to say, my boxers can't swim. This jacket gives them the extra boyancy in the front they need due to their big chests and seems to help them hold up their heads in the water. I have seen an improvement in their swimming since I bought the jacket. I purchased one to try and I am going to need two more boxer size and two boston terrier size.
Don Dinkel - 2008-04-13k-9Float coat Dog Life Jacket
Dog don't think much of the jacket. When they get in the water they won't even know they got it on.
Shana - 2008-03-17Great life vest
I Brought the XL for my Weimaraner for when we head down to the beach. The life vest is made so well, fits like a glove and doesn't inhibit his swimming at all. Two thumbs up to Ruffwear for yet another amazing product!
Anonymous - 2008-02-29Works Great! 70lb lab a medium.
We have a 70lb Labrador Retriever and initially ordered the large but had to return for a medium. The medium fits her perfectly (she is a trim lab). Even though she is all lab, she a bit tentative about swimming for pleasure so we bought the vest to help her feel more comfortable. The vest does seem to help a she doesn't mind wearing it at all! We get lots of complements about how "cool" she looks in it!
yib - 2008-02-05great jacket
the dog loves it, now we just have to talk the owner into realizing the dog doesn't look dorky wearing it.
cathy parker - 2007-12-15Bailey is safe in the K-9 life jacket.
I would like to comment on Bailey's new life vest.. He is our big baby Basset Hound and means the world to my husband Charlie and I... We have just recently moved to Kauai where Bailey does not like to be left out of surfing, paddle boarding or kayaking or even a daily swim... We know it is unusual for a Basset to be such a water dog, but he is... We absolutely love his new vest and the fit is remarkable, we feel very safe with him participating in all of our water activities...He recently jumped off the board in the middle of the Ocean and the vest kept him afloat all the way back to shore. Quiet a swim for his little legs, he shook it off and continued to chase crabs before reentering the water. Bailey is six and 65lbs. and we bought size medium.. He was comfortable right away. we will recommend this jacket to everyone..

Chuck Burns - 2007-11-12We ordered two - one for our daughter's dog and one for our dog.
Great fits and great service. It's a little cold here, so we haven't had a chance to pitch them overboard. Seriously, though, both dogs are on boats and around "big" water all summer. The jackets make everyone more comfortable. The handle is a great feature - just try getting a dog from water to boat without a vest/handle.
Tammy Barrett - 2007-09-29Wonderful investment.
Our lab loved the float coat. He swam and swam all over the lake. My family enjoyed swimming w/ him and not having to worry about him getting too tired. The handle was perfect for pulling him onto the boat. We are extremely please with this life jacket!!
Kimberly - 2007-09-21Excellent Product-Easy to Get on Pet
I have 3 Rottweilers who just love to swim in my inground pool. 2 of them have hip problems and swimming is the best therapy for them. I was worried about them getting tired and possibly having trouble getting to the steps to get out. These Float Coats were a wonderful solution. They are very easy to put on your pet and they have no trouble adapting to wearing them. I would recommend these to anyone with pets enjoying water sports.
Alex Rode - 2007-09-16K-9 float coat
Well thought out design. No zippers to zip or break. Good freedom of movement for my GSP.
Tamie - 2007-09-05Great jacket!!
AAA+++ Life jacket. We have a golden retriever that loves going boating with us and so for her own security we purchase this vest after last years mesh one tore when lifting her into boat, she is 80lbs and the large vest fit just perfect and held her weight with the transferring into boat. We highly recommend this vest don't waste your money on cheaper ones plus shipping was extremely fast.
Anonymous - 2007-09-01Excellent purchase!
Our golden retriever puppy is 55+ pounds now and this jacket makes it so much easier for us to get him out of the water. It is also extremely easy to put on and the colors are great for us to keep an eye on where he is.
Jan - 2007-08-26Turned my dog into a swimmer!
I finally purchased one of these for my 8 yr. old German Shepherd, who for her whole life, would not go in over her head and would alway panic and flail if she accidentally lost her footing. After working with her gently with treats and sticks with the vest on, she realized that she wouldn't drown, and now swims like a fish! I wish I had tried this years ago, but at least she can now swim and keep her hips in shape. Better late than never!
Anonymous - 2007-08-24excellent and excellent quality
We have a golden retiever who has not figured out how to use her hind end for swimming .....you could say she swims like a polar bear and just uses her front feet to paddle.
We shoped around and picked the ruffwear and could not be anymore happier. It is an excellent made vest and our dog loves it. it goes one easy and fits her like a glove. We could see how much happier she is to swim now. And we feel so much more at ease when we take her to the lake. We will be getting another one for our other golden.
As we are sure she will love it too. Thanks Ruffwear
Norman Tremblay - 2007-08-12Life vests
First of all, this company is one of the best.
The service is great,fast shipping and great products.
The dog vest we got (med) were a little small so we sent back and got large, much better fit. Male is 65lbs female is 66 and
(both goldens) large was just right for them.
Cindy Rosier - 2007-08-11Excellent for Old English Sheepdogs
I have 2 Old English Sheepdogs. I bought a float coat for the each of them. The one loves to swim but has a hard time keeping her hindend from sinking, the vest is a life saver now I don't need to worry about her at all!! Great job RUFF WEAR!!!
Amanda Hedgpeth - 2007-08-06Great Life Jacket for the Dog
We have a Golden Retriever named Madeline, and she will not get out of the water! So when we bought a new boat, instead of worrying about her leaping off the boat unprotected, we bought her the red/black K-9 Float Life Jacket. It snaps on and off very easily and fits her perfectly. She swims for 20 minutes with ease, and just floats when she is done we simply lift her with the handle back onto the boat. This jacket is much better than our old one because it supports her belly. The other one just had mesh, giving her no flotation from underneath. I highly recommend this product!
Summer Smith - 2007-07-18Must buy
This is a must buy for anyone who wants to safely take their dog out on the water. It's well made and easy to put on the dog. The handle on the back helps with lifting the dog out of the water and is easily grasped. It also serves as a wind block until your dog is dry, helpful in open, moving power boats.
Anonymous - 2007-07-17Great jacket
The jacket fits well and is of excellent quality. We purchased the jacket because Lake Michigan has a lot of undertow. Our dog loves wearing it!! She seems to enjoy the water much more now. One of our best purchases.
Patti Pettit-Davis - 2007-07-16Great Product
I bought 2 for our large dogs for vacation but 1 passed away before he could use it. The other did use it and we would not have gotten her in the water otherwise.
jessie covington - 2007-07-16Great jacket!1
I bought the medium life jacket for my 65lb English bulldog. He was having trouble staying up without it, and now he can keep his head upbove the water. He also can move freely and doesn't mind wearing the jacte. We bought one from pet smart before for $50.00 and had to take it back.
Anonymous - 2006-08-29K-9 Float Coat
The K-9 Float Coat is great. It is extremely superior to any other dog life jacket I have seen, and hardly costs any more! The quality is impressive, the fit is perfect (even for an english bulldog).
Christie - 2006-08-28Great Product
We bought this jacket for boating with our 66lb dog. She is comfortable with it on and can swim endlessly without chafing. It fits her well, floats her high in the water and is highly visible (exactly what we need for our busy waterways). It is a bit hard for her to sit/lay with it on, but overall a good buy.
Holly - 2006-08-17fanstastic product!
I'm more than glad to write a reveiw of this product! I bought it for my older dog tigger. hes a large dog who just turned eleven. He loves to swim and play fetch at the ocean. recently tigger has been haveing his muscles give out when he plays.(he gets so exitted he doesnt know when to stop). Anyway after a scary trip where I had to swim out because he was so tired he was swimming in cirles and cring in panic, it was a while before I found this product. Tigger loves it! It helps him swim and he loves showing it off. We swam yesterday for over and hour. Tigger didnt want to stop, he even gets upset when I take the vest off! thankyou so much for a great product. It fits well and works great!

philip Adkins - 2006-08-07good stuff
I have a large black lab apx. 150 lbs. .. I couldn't find a lifejacket large enough to fit him. He's not used to it yet, so he pulls at it a little, but when I go canoeing, he can swim as long as he wants now
Michelle Wilson - 2006-08-05I love the K9 float.
I had bought a cheap K9 life jacket and it does not compare to the one I had bought from you guys. It supports the weight of my dog very well and is very durable.
Cindy Shipley - 2006-07-19large dog float device
I have looked everywhere for a jacket to fit my 130 pound lab. She is not fat, just big bone... She swims after anyone who is in the canoe, kyak, or paddle boat when we are at the lake house. This has finally put my mind at ease. I was not sure she would wear the jacket, or enjoy it (Dolly is almost 10 years old) but, she took to it right away and now, just like the kids, we get up and she too puts on her jacket after breakfast.!!!! Thanks, Cindy
Arlene T. - 2006-07-18***
The K-9 Float Coat Dog Life Jacket was a great buy. We have a large Choc Lab (97 lbs)the jacket was a great fit and he does not mind having it on. This makes for all of us having a great water experience, he can swim and I don't have to worry about him.
Also, your staff was excellent, when the first jacket was the wrong size, we were able to order the correct size and exchange the jacket with no problems. It was great dealing with your company. Thank You.

Best life jacket we ever brought,puts others to shame.wish we found this years ago.our dog Harry loves it, he is a 115 lb. golden retriver.Thanks
Anonymous - 2006-07-01Excellent Product!
Pro's: Makes swimming much easier + enjoyable for your best friend; Will keep his head well above water [thus, avoiding swallowing alot of water + later getting sick]; Will allow him to spend much more time in water; looks great; and is well constructed.
Con's: Constantly hearing from people the following: Is your dog wearing the vest because he has hip displaxia OR does he not know how to swim OR is he wearing it because he's very old.
bill - 2006-06-26excellent product
This is a great life jacket that fits well, provides great support in the water, and seems not to restrict motion. Our German Shorthair dogs really love to canoe with us and are in and out of the water easily with this jacket.
Anonymous - 2006-06-26Very well made and very durable
This jacket fit my newfoundland perfectly. I needed one to fit her body length and hold up her rear to aid in teaching her how to swim. It works beautifully. She loves wearing it. It doe not hinder her movement at all.
kari Laney - 2006-06-05We really like the dog life jacket, fits great, looks great.
The life jacket fit great and is really nice quality(it also matches our boat!) My dog does not mind wearing it at all, and the handle comes in really handy to help him out of the water and into the boat. Our dog is a great swimmer, but it helps him when the water is really rough and the lake traffic is really busy!!
Kim Purifoy - 2006-05-28excellent!
My husband researches everything to the nth degree. He decided on the K-9 float coat. We have a golden retriever who lost a leg to bone cancer three years ago. Her joy in life is swimming. This jacket allows her to stay in the water for long durations and play like she did before she lost her leg. Her brother, (another golden), enjoyed the jacket so much that we bought him his own. He is swimming more than ever before due to the extra buoyancy. They love their float coat and so do we!!!
J. Case Bricker - 2006-05-26Safe and Happy Dogue De Bordeaux
My Dogue De Bordeaux enjoys the Colorado and Roaring Fork Rivers in his K-9 Float Coat. It fits him very well. He can still do his "thing" without obstruction.
A Lindsay - 2006-05-14Nice fit and great product
We ordered a couple of K-9 float coats dog life jackets for our two Goldens and they are great. They fit nice and after a few minutes the dogs got used to them. We went boating a couple of times and had the piece of mind that if one of the dogs jumped in, they would be safe until we could get them back onboard. One is 90 lbs and with our boat it would be tough getting them back onboard without these jackets. The quality is nice and I'm sure they will last a long time.
The Savage kids - 2006-05-06Life Jacket
Our golden ret. loves his new life jacket. We bought another brand and he hated it. This one fits him perfectly and he acts like it isn't even on. It fits him like a glove and lets him move with ease. We have three boys and he thinks he can do everything they do. He jumps off the dock and boat with ease now and we have the comfort of knowing that it will keep him safe. Thanks for this great product.
Jiri Danihel - 2006-02-07My dogs loved it!
After watching my golden retrievers struggling to stay afloat when swimming for a while, I decided help them out a little. They can stay afloat without any struggles. The life jacket is very well made, visible in the yellow color and also has a handle on top so I can pull the pups back on the kayak when we are heading home.

Price Match Plus
We are committed to offering the best in performance outdoor gear, clothing and footwear at competitive prices. The brands and styles we carry offer excellent craftsmanship and fair pricing, and we check our prices frequently to ensure that you are receiving outstanding value on your purchases. If you find a lower price, you're covered under our Price Match Plus Guarantee: If you find an identical product (ie, the same size, color, season, etc.) offered by another US authorized online retailer, we will beat their price by 5% of the difference.
An Example: You find a backpack that we sell for $100 on a competitor's site for $90. That's a difference of $10. We'll gladly sell you the pack for $89.50:
| Our Original Price | Their Price | Difference | 5% of Difference | Match Plus Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $100 | $90 | $10 | $0.50 | $89.50 |
