| Dog Swim Vest I have an Outward Hound lifejacket for Jackson that I love and it works great. But was looking into this... Small Breed LIFE PRESERVER Swim Vest TC XXS XS S Jacket | eBay It looks more like a harness but it's supposed to be a 'swim vest'... it seems like it'd be more comfortable to keep on for long periods of time. Anyone have experience with it? Just curious if it would really help keep him afloat. Jackson's lifejacket is mainly used at my dads pool in his fenced in backyard, but we will be doing dock diving soon and I think this might be better to keep on him and seems he'd be less 'held back' from jumping with something like this on.

| I used to sell them and people either hated them or loved them...which I know doesn't help. They also ran large. Hope that helps a fraction. |

| Looks like a great idea... I do have one concern though... it appears to have more flotation material on the chest than on the back... if this is true it may cause a dog to be flipped over... I'd ask to see a pic of it in use in the water.... or see if it would also fit if it was put on upside down....

| What are other small dock divers wearing for floatation? Are they using this? Maybe they could tell you what works best.

What were the main complaints from your customers who bought it? Quote:
Well, I'm not sure. I believe most dock divers don't wear one. But they are allowed. I don't really see too many small dogs doing it... I'll look into it!

| It looks like it would make the dog float more vertically than horizontally. One of the things that we've done while the adults are in the water is sit in a life jacket. lol It looks like a huge diaper but it keeps you floating without the jacket being uncomfortable around your face.
