Perfect Fit Float Coat for 2 year Birthday Present
Bright color and perfect fit. XL for my 130 pound Rottweiler pup’s 2 year Birthday. Fast ship. The GripTex shoes (front 3,25 back 3.0) fit great and last better than any other brand too. Thanks Ruffwear for keeping my sweet angel safe and happy.❤️‍🔥

Float coat
I love using this life jacket. The quality is great. It’s easy to get on and off my puppies. I love using it for my breeding program, I have been using it to get the puppies used to wearing a life jacket, being in the pool, life raft and paddle board since many of our puppies go onto active family homes.

Great flotation
My dog is comfortable in this. Ruffwear's warranty process is unmatched. The jacket seems comfortable for all day wear, no rubbing or hot spots after wearing both in and out of the water. The dog seems to enjoy the water more with the vest on even in areas where she can stand. Highly recommended, holds up well.

Great Fit and Float
We’ve just received our Float Coat this week and have used it twice. The coat certainly floats but our 115 pound, 1 year old Newfoundland big boy, Buck, needs some more practice. Like always, the quality is excellent and exactly what I’ve come to expect from RuffWear products.

Love it
My dog loves this, she wasn’t confident swimming before I got this, but now she’s really got the hang of it and even jumps in the water with all the confidence you can imagine. Game changer for us! My dog is 45 lbs and wears a size small.
