Also, if a dog wearing a life vest continually lowers his head, it might cause pressure on the throat... I think most LPs do the same thing with people too. They do tend to limit the range of motion a bit, but they are designed to keep the head above water should the wearer become unconscious for any reason.
I'll do a comparison with my more expensive models when it arrives though, just to be sure. But for the money, I think its a great offer.
There were a bunch of good reviews... which makes me question the one poor review I saw. |
I just read all the reviews and you're right! Most reviews stated no cons and one of the con was pricey. So, better get it now than be sorry right? lol I just got 3 (one for each baby) so hopefully it's good! If it doesn't work out, I can always sell it.
Also, do you take your babies to the beach or lake? I'm thinking they could use it when we go camping where there's water. Would they need any shots to go into lake and stuff? Now, I'm so excited!
