A Dog Life Jacket Designed for Function, Safety and Comfort
The DFD X2 Boost features a unique fixed collar adjustment system, which only has to be adjusted once. The fixed collar on the DFD X2 Boost maintains the same positioning at all times, yet still offers ample adjustment. All webbing is contained within neck strap, meaning there's no loose webbing to irritate your dog.
The Ultra-Buoyant foam is strategically positioned around the vest, including the section under the dog's belly. This keeps your dog upright and in a natural swimming position at all times. Unlike other vests, the DFD does not hinder your dog's natural movement and can be fastened/removed easily and quickly.
New Dog Swim Vest Design with New Features
A life jacket that fits the dog's body type allows them to swim with confidence and run more freely. The geometry of the DFD X2 Boost has been meticulously crafted to fit comfortably around any dog type, with panels designed to taper to the shape of a dog's torso.
A grab handle is situated at the top of the life jacket for quick control over your dog. Reflective piping is used throughout for extra visibility at night. The revolutionary neck adjustment contains buoyant foam, to help keep your dog's head above water.
Why buy a Dog Float Coat?
A dog swim vest has several main purposes. Recreation for dogs that spend a lot of time in and around the water or for owners who take their dogs on boats. It's also great for dogs who struggle to swim and is recommended for use in Hydrotherapy rehabilitation.
For best fit, measure the girth and length of the dog. Girth will take priority when selecting a size.
The girth being the area behind the front legs and around the body.
The length being the area from the neck to the base of his/her tail.
If your dog is between two sizes, choose the smaller size.
The DFD X2 Boost does not need to cover your dog's entire back length to be effective.
Size | Weight (lb) | Girth (in) | Length (in) |
XS | 15-25 | 18-21.5" | 12-18" |
S | 20-45 | 22-25.5" | 14-20" |
M | 40-60 | 26-29.5" | 16-22" |
L | 60-90 | 30-33.5" | 18-24" |
XL | 90+ | 34-41" | 20-26" |

Sleek and efficient
My Belgian Malinois named Samson loves to swim in the ocean and fetch his Frisbee. He swims well, however this low profile vest helps keep him safe And allows him to pop back up to the surface quickly when he gets pummeled by big Surf. He also loves running full speed and leaping through the air to catch his frisbee which this low Profile vest allows him to do for hours. Vest looks good on him as well:)

Handle is not located for a safe and comfortable lift from the water
I have a part-Pomeranian with tons of long fur and the grab handle on the vest is flush with the fur and I keep grabbing fur with the handle. The handle is also located to far forward and puts way too much pressure on my dogs neck when I try to lift him from the living room floor. I can imagine it would be far worse with the dog soaking wet with water. Maybe it isn't meant for lifting, although I have seen people do it in review videos. The black trim at the top of the neck section is very stiff and uncomfortable. The trim should have been on the bottom of the neck section where it wouldn't rub at all. I don't mean to sound so harsh because the quality of the vest is superior. However, some of the more important qualities fall short for me. I want to use it when I kayak with my dog and I don't see this vest working for either one of us. Sorry...

Life jacket
This is the first time I e had a life jacket for my dog for kayaking and I could t be more pleased. It is lightweight and easy to put on. He fell out of the kayak on our first trip and I was able to pull him back in very easily. He’s not a swimmer, so the life jacket gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend EzyDog products.

Boost
Great fit and easy to put on and off. Good flotation. Sleek design for no swimming hindrances. Handle on the back offers a good grip for hauling a big (or small) dog onto a surfboard or up on a dock. Ezydog rocks!

Love it
We now have our second GSP puppy, and the first one did not float or swim terribly well to start so I knew I wanted a life jacket for this one and did a lot of research. We have a pool and a pond and it only took three weeks for her to jump in. I am SO HAPPY with how well she can float and swim in this. She can safely swim on her own without assistance in this. She also seems comfortable enough to run around in it when she jumps out. It’s a little too bulky to have her wear full time when outside as it’s 98° (Florida) but soon it’ll be ok for her to wear on walks to the pond for spontaneous swims. She’s a 3mo 15lb GSP and I got XS. Fits well and she still can grow for a few months and fit it.

Highly Recommended
This is a top quality product! Our pup (Amstaff/boxer mix) has a weirdly shaped body that makes fitting difficult. The sizing guide was perfect (if between sizes, go down as recommended) and provided ample opportunity for adjustment. The slim profile made it super comfortable for a full day at the lake. It’s pricey but worth the cost and expect it to last a long time.

DFD X2 Boost
We have a German Shorthair who loves the water. After several misfires with other brands, this vest fits her body type and activity level very well. Size M works for her at around 45 lbs. Would give 5 stars if there was a better system to tuck away or dispose of excess webbing. As it is, you fold the excess back on itself and use hook/loop to close it into kind of a wad next to the buckles. Perhaps I’m too picky but aside from these bundles of webbing, the vest looks very sleek and form fitting.

Life vest
I’ve tried other vests but this one fits better, it made more durable, and works well for different breeds and body types. Will be buying another one.
