Description

The Outward Hound Dawson Dog Life Jacket is a high-performance dog life jacket flotation for boating, the beach, the pool, and any other water adventures you might get up to. The Dawson is designed for novice to intermediate swimmers. This dog life vest features high quality neoprene side panels for strong buoyancy and thermal insulation to keep your dog comfortable. A front neck float adds extra support to help your pup keep their head above water. Top grab handles make it easy to grab and support your dog as needed. Adjustable straps keep dogs secure in and out of water. For small dogs, sizes XS and S come with one top handle, and for larger dogs, sizes M, L, and XL come with dual handles. Please select the appropriate dog life jacket size after taking your dog's girth measurement along the widest part of their 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 keep your pooch looking good when it’s time to swim.

  • Great quality
Color: Orange Size: Large (Chest Girth: 28"-32")
Works great! Got for our Border Collie, it fits perfect and is made really well. Straps and buckles are easily adjustable and he seemed to be comfortable in it for hours. Make sure to measure and maybe size up because it can be small in the chest area for some breeds!

  • Great vest and really good value for the money
Color: Pink Size: Large (Chest Girth: 28"-32")
I was worried that this vest would be too heavy, but it fit well. My dog is a 45lb lab mix and I ordered the large, and she was able to swim easily, although is still getting used to not having her feet on the ground. Functions well and is durable. Also, she looked cute in it

  • Safe, Secure, and Super Cute!
Color: Pink Size: Small (Chest Girth: 16"-20")
I bought this life jacket for my small dog before a lake trip, and it gave me total peace of mind. The fit was perfect (size small), and the adjustable straps made it easy to get snug without being uncomfortable. The bright pink color is adorable and also very visible in the water, which made spotting her easy. The buoyancy is excellent—she floated confidently and had no problem paddling around. The strong grab handle on the back came in handy when lifting her in and out of the boat. I also appreciate how lightweight it is; she could run around on land without it bothering her. It feels sturdy, the stitching is well-done, and after several uses it still looks brand new. Definitely a must-have for water safety if you take your pup swimming or boating. ✅ High buoyancy, keeps dogs safe in the water ✅ Adjustable fit and secure straps ✅ Bright, visible color ✅ Durable with convenient grab handle Highly recommend for anyone who wants both safety and style for their dog on the water. ... show more

  • Cute and Safe for Water Adventures
Color: Orange Size: Large (Chest Girth: 28"-32")
I got this life jacket for Azul, who is 70 pounds, so he can safely join me on boating and swimming trips. It fits him well and is easy to put on and adjust, great support in the water. I like it so much because it’s not only functional but also really cute—he looks adorable wearing it! The bright color and sturdy handle made picking him up from the water super easy during our boating trip. Overall, it’s a high-quality, comfortable, and stylish life jacket that gives me confidence while Azul enjoys the water. ... show more

  • Love it!
Color: Pink Size: Small (Chest Girth: 16"-20")
Love it! I have a little smaller but regular size Yorkie (not a teacup). The jacket fits great because of careful measuring. The XS would have been a little bit too tight & too small so I ordered the small & it fits perfect. It looks comfortable for her to wear. It even has a collar piece to keep her head up in case she tires when swimming. The jacket goes from neck to right after her tail. The Velcro is nice and tight then you adjust the straps and clip her in. It’s very easy to use & it doesn’t bother her to wear it. ... show more

  • Great life vest for my fur baby
Color: Pink Size: Small (Chest Girth: 16"-20")
Fits my chihuahua of 10 lbs perfect!!!! She had a smaller one the first year from the same company. Durability, functionality, color all great. I know dogs are born swimmers for the most part but one can never be too safe for our fur babies, she loves to go everywhere with me and this helps to make her feel secure. ... show more

  • Received a used product
Color: Blue Size: Small (Chest Girth: 16"-20")
I have a cat who enjoys adventuring outdoors and nearly every life jacket is made for dogs so she had a really hard time with the other brands which were so heavy and uncomfortable around her neck. This one was much more comfortable for her and she was able to walk without the weight of it causing her to fall over. The only problem I have with it is that it arrived today very obviously used. There was fur all over the inside but I chalked it up to someone else tried it on and it maybe didn’t fit them. No problem as I’m not a stranger to fur all over the place, so I used a lint roller and all clean. So I thought. As you can see in the photos, this was very obviously used with stains on the outer parts. I’m surprised the seller did not check this before sending it back out. I would return but I need it for this week and we leave for our vacation tomorrow. And seeing as how this is the only one I’ve found that properly fits her, I’m stuck with a used product I paid full price for. So not too happy about that. I will say though she looks super cute in it. I’m not too sure about durability because it has some threads that already seem to be coming out and the stitching does not look very sturdy. ... show more
