Where to get a doggie life jacket

[sendchocolate]

Hi guys, we are getting our pool set up and I want to get Poppy used to a life vest. Our pet stores here don't have them big enough, and I want to be sure to get a good quality item. Where do you suggest buying one online?

Any specific model?

Got Murphy's from Ruffwear and I really like it. He's 160 and the x-large fits him perfect.

Ruffwear is all we buy! Best jacket for the money. Nice large handles for redirecting and bright colors if you do go to a big lake!

We found one on sale at LL Bean. She has only been swimming in our home pool so I can't say how well it would do in a lake and such. She hasn't seemed uncomfortable in it and it has kept her booty up quite well. So, for what we need, it has been great.

REI sells a few! http://www.rei.com/product/784720/ruff-wear-portage-float-coat-for-dogs

Oooh! Didn't realize REI sold Ruffwear. When Ada outgrows her current lifevest, I can use my dividend.

Ruffwear only in this house. I use it when they are just starting to swim. I found it gives them confidence. Have fun!

There are quite a few options on amazon : http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=dog+life+jacket&x=0&y=0

And I found you can get some much cheaper by looking for them "used" on here. Then, you can choose one that is described as 'Like New' and it should be in pretty good shape.
