Before you order
Human supervision is required at all times, in and around water. The PetVest® is not professional rescue equipment, and it is not a reason to attempt rough water, deep-ocean, or unsupervised activity. Suitability depends on your dog's size, weight, health, behaviour, and fit.
Check the size chartWhat's on the vest
Every part named below is visible on the product itself.
Padded front flap
Sits flat against the front of the neck and gives your dog a surface to rest their head on in the water.
Adjustable straps
Chest and belly straps adjust to your dog's measurements. Two flat fingers should fit under each one.
Top grab handle
For lifting and guiding while you are right beside your dog — never for holding a dog suspended.
Shark fin
Runs along the top of the vest. Decorative: nothing to adjust, nothing to hold on to.
Two colorways
Blue / Green or Orange / Mango — high-visibility panels either way, so you can pick your dog out against the water.
Measure, then match the size chart
Breed alone won't tell you the answer — two dogs of the same breed often need different sizes. Take these numbers with your dog standing, then match them to the chart below.
Back length
From the base of the neck to the base of the tail, with your dog standing.
Bust (chest girth)
The widest point behind the front legs — tape snug but not tight. This is the bust column in the chart.
Neck girth
Around the base of the neck, where a collar sits.
Current weight
A recent weight, not an estimate from last season.
Between two sizes? Size up. A vest with adjustment range left is easier to fit than one already at its limit. Still unsure? We're glad to help — lumapawshop@gmail.com

Measurements in inches, weight in pounds. Individual fit varies — measure with your dog standing.
How to wear it
If the printed instructions supplied with your vest differ from anything here, follow the printed instructions.
Open the fasteners
Undo every strap fully before the vest goes near your dog, on dry ground away from the water.
Orient the vest
Flap at the front of the neck, fin running along the back, straps hanging free underneath.
Place it on
Lower it onto your dog's back rather than pulling it over the head, and let them settle.
Fasten and adjust
Close the chest and belly straps, then tighten evenly until the vest sits level.
Comfort check
Two flat fingers under each strap. Walk a few steps together and watch for rubbing or hesitation.
Re-check at the water
Dogs shake and move — confirm every fastener and the neck opening again before entering.
In the water, on the dock, on the boat — always with a person within immediate reach.
