Ruff Wear: Portage Float Coat for Dogs - Altrec.com Product Description:

The Ruffwear Portage Float Coat for Dogs provides safety for your water-loving canine companion and peace of mind for you in and around the water. Ideal for recreational use, the Portage is a high-quality flotation jacket at an excellent value. Great for calm water activities, or for dogs who are less buoyant and/or new to the water. One of the biggest advantages of a Ruff Wear Float Coat: strategically placed PVC-free buoyancy cells that support dogs in a natural horizontal swimming position, allowing them to go farther, longer, with less fatigue.

Great purchase I liked the quick delivery from Altrec and the dog vest is great. It fits well and helps to hold the dogs head above water. My dog has seizures and I always worry it might happen while swimming. This vest has relieved my fears.

Great fit! Comfortable for the dogs! I bought two large Portage Float Coats for my Weimaraner and Airedale. Perfect fit and the dogs told me they were very comfortable. Nice to have the velcro to tie up loose straps. The handle on top for lifting the dogs into the boat is very sturdy!

Is this Handy? - Yes - No ( 1 of 2 found this review helpful.)

Great fit and works as we had hoped My Fox Terrier is small (25lbs) but has a big chest, so we tried on different sizes at a local outfitter, but they didn't have an xs in-stock so RuffWear told us to try you guys. Thanks for shipping it out quick, we got it in-time for the weekend. It fit really well when adjusted and he wore it several times around the house. In typical terrier fashion, Bandit did jump off the kayak but thanks to the Float Coat had an easy time swimming around. The top-loop worked great as I did eventually have to pluck him from the water.
