Big Eddy Rocks!
I purchased the Big Eddy to be sure my 85lb Golden Retriever stays afloat when swimming around for hours on end or following me on my SUP. We tried for the first time last weekend at Lake Chelan and it worked great. He swam for nearly four hours (w/ small breaks). Once the Big Eddy was on he didn't even notice or miss a beat! I would definitely recommend - for peace of mind for your water hound if nothing else...

I ordered a large for my 66 lb mutt and it fit but since he was right in between sizes I am returning it to get a medium. I think it was just a little too big and was going to hinder his movements. When I measured his girth he was right around 30 which was either a medium or a large so I opted large cause he is a big dog. I guess he is skinny for his size cause I cinched all the straps all the way and there was no more room for adjustment. I'll let you know how the medium goes when I get it.
Swimming Anyone?
Just got the Big Eddy Float Coat and it is FANTABULOUS!!! As soon as I put it on my dog, he started going crazy wanting to go play in the water! Best purchase ever! Looking forward to a full summer of fun in the sun with my best bud! Thank you!
Dog pfd
Very worth the money. We bought our dog a small even though the sizing had her at the upper end of the girth measurement of the extra small. She is a 30 lbs boarder collie healer mix. Her girth was 21" (long any skinny). When I fist put it on her, she did not realize she could move. I think she thought someone was holding onto her! However, she quickly forgot she was wearing it. She is just less than a year and her curiosity has had her fall off our Hyside mini-me raft twice now. both in relatively calm waters. the handle worked great for quickly getting her back in the boat. I would buy this product again.
Great Product!
My 100 pound lab was outside with me when the delivery truck showed up with her new vest. I made a big deal out of opening up the box with her so she was already excited by the time we got the vest opened up. I immediately put the vest on her and went into the creek behind the house to play with a couple of her toys in the water. She doesn't seem to notice that anything is different; she was running around and swimming with full range of movement. We haven't had a chance yet to test the vest too much in deep waters but from what I have seen so far it looks like it will work great on my "slightly plump" black lab. We love this product!
