Sizing
There seems to be a great deal of trouble determining the size needed for your dog. I read a whole lot of reviews and decided to go with the X-Small for my 4.75 lb pooch. She has a 13" girth. Fits perfectly, with room to spare for a chubbier little swimmer. I notice the company has put a sticker over the previous sizing chart that came with the jacket...they've clearly had a lot of problems with fit. I've added a pic of the new sticker...

    Great Little vest! Very happy with the quality of the product! However, sizing and fitting can be a bit confusing. We went to a retail pet store to size and fit our 6 year old female Yorkie (Yorkshire Terrier/terrorist) before ordering on line. According to the size chart, an XS fits dogs 11 to 15 lbs with a girth of 15" to 19". Our dog is 13 lbs and has a girth of 16.5" The XS in the store fit perfectly, but the only colors in stock were orange and green. We wanted the hot pink because she is a girly girl, LOL! So we ordered the XS in the hot pink color on line. The XS arrived prompty, but was way too small. We contacted Amazon but we were told that we could not exchange the item for another size, only return it. So we contacted the manufacturer directly and asked about the difference in sizing and the slight design changes between the vest in the store and the one we purchased on line. We were told that the design had changed slightly and so did the sizing. The hot pink color was new as well. The retail store had older inventory. The XS in the retail store now is sized as a S in the new versions, with slight design changes and the added hot pink color. So when sizing a vest for your dog, make sure you try it on your dog in a retail store if possible or order one size up on line. We ended up with an orange vest from the retail store (at closeout pricing to make room for the new, arriving inventory) We are very happy with the design, the fit, quality of the vest and happy to know our dog will enjoy the water more with her vest on and we will be more at ease knowing she is more comfortable and will have more fun! GREAT LIFE JACKET!

    Sizing is tough with this type of gear. We already had two life vest for our girls, but both have outgrown those. I ordered as per weight since they are 10 and 12 pds respectively, but found I needed to measure girth to get the proper fit. As small as our girls are, they are barrel chested and have long hair too.

    I have a silky/chihuahua mix, 7lbs.

    When I tried to secure the neck, I find the bottom/inside portion too bulky and I ended up causing my dog to gag. I think it could be less bulky and the length could be longer (maybe another 1.5") as I found it to be too snug around her neck. I'm not sure its a sizing error. Length would allow more room for owners hands to easily adjust neck floatation portion.

    The wrap around is a bit too wide as well as it rubs against the front legs (maybe reducing the width by 1/4 to 1/2 an inch) to allow better range of motion.

    The vest fits well enough that I will keep it. The trade off for going up one size is that the width will be wider than this one, but the neck may fit better. Too bad that neck piece is not adjustable from both sides (maybe making it detachable with velcro attachments on sewn onto the inside.

    The vest will also be very hot to wear so make sure your dog stays cool or remove it when safe to do so, like when on the beach etc. Definitely not something to wear when dog is completely dry and in the sun. Too bad the neoprene or the black fabric portion wasnt made of more breathable fabric.

    Otherwise the vest is sooo cute on her, color is great, quality material, durable. It just needs some tweeking on the neck portion by the manufacturer.

    I ordered an XS this based on the girth and weight of my dog - 17" girth and 13 lbs. When I got it the Velcro didn't go all the way around her - so apparently 19" is not accurate. It was also very tight on her neck. I had to take all the tags off in order to try it on her... so now I'm not sure if I can get this replaced.

    This Outward Hound safety water vest is the best for our little girl dog. We bought a swimming pool in the late summer and she loves her vest and it keeps her from getting to far away from us when we are in the pool. It's sturdy and fits her perfectly.
    It's very well put together and we love the handle. We have 2 Chihuahuas, a male and a female and we bought one for each of them. They love the water and these vests are perfect.
    One word of advice order a slightly bigger size for your dog. Our female wears an XX small in clothing but to give her room to move and be able to swim the Xsmall works great!

    I wanted to write an update on the life vests for our Chihuahuas. We've been able to use our pool for a short while and these vests have been wonderful for our dogs. They have become great swimmers wearing their vests. They are all over our pool. I can see nothing wrong with the wear of these vests. They wore them for a short while the end of last summer and they are wearing them now. All the straps, snaps and Velcro closures are in very good shape. I did store them over the Winter in the bag they came in and made sure they were dry. And I make sure they are separated out to dry after swimming. The colors are as vibrant as they were the day they arrived.

    Our little male dog jumped off a float and went down in the water about 2feet and bobbed right back up and went off swimming like nothing had happened. Proof in my mind the vests work like a charm to keep your dog safe.

    This life jacket is TINY TINY! I have a 5 pound Chihuahua and it didn't even come close to fitting her! It would be too much padding for a dog that would actually fit it! I returned mine no problem and got a "small"! Good product, just so tiny!
