Dog life jacket sizes by breed
Fit is decided by chest, not by breed. Run a tape around the widest part of the ribcage, just behind the front legs, and pull it snug without compressing. That number picks the size. The breed guides below give a starting point and, more usefully, an honest assessment of how well each breed actually swims.
