No it keeps the dog floating properly in the correct position. It helps my Dobe considerably, she is a timid swimmer. Plus the grab handle comes in, well.... Handy

Absolutely not. The buoyancy padding is primarily on the back and upper sides; the lower portion around the belly is much thinner. No worries here.

My dog weighs 63 lbs and he wears the vest in the lake and has never had any issues

No need to worry about that. The extra buoyancy keeps the head above water but will not flip your dog over.

Really doubt it would flip your dog upside down as most of the padding/flotation product is along the top. This is a great float coat for your dog.

I tried to find out as much information about these collars as possible. There is one school of thought that says do NOT get a quick release fastener if you have a strong/aggressive dog cuz it's possible for them to tug so hard that this release comes open. It surely makes putting the collar on and taking it off MUCH easier, I can say for sure. Look at some videos on YouTube for great information. Just measure the dogs neck for sizing. It's no problem to take some links out if it's too large. If you choose too small, you can order extra links as well. I've tried other collars and, believe me, this one has no competition.

Maybe you can ask again and see what the weight is. That seemed to be the problem for our dog. It is a big chunk of solid. I gave my away to a friend with a bigger dog, or I'd check for you. It was too heavy for out 9# maltese. Robert is right -- it's not too expensive, so if it works, you'd have a great toy, and if it doesn't, it wasn't a big investment, and you could gift elsewhere.

Good question??? We just did the same thing with one of ours. I'll let ya know if we are lucky with the company.

D S glembin' s idea (posted here) on how to position tub might work well and would b nice during winter time. However, I would still be worried about bathroom getting dirty from doggies shaking off water from their fur, the bigger the dog, the worse.

I agree I have no issue at all with the shifting! Just wish the dog would stop standing on it. Also, it is smaller then I thought it would be.

I'm not really sure about that. But that would be really crazy. I would just send it back to whoever you got it from. Have you received one that was upside down?

I know Great Danes are very tall and I think it might work Bc my Rottweilers are like 130-150 lbs( have three) and also this is one of the tallest ones I have seen out there without it being custom made. Very durable and easy to wash down and I have had a couple for many years- I have three dog houses and after seeing all the other houses on the market, I would still buy this particular one! However, I do think the Great Dane is taller than the actual doghouse and would only be able to use it for a sleeping area and hard to stand up inside this. Maybe a kennel type of thing would be better because those are taller and you can put bedding in there?

i bought an extra white one and the blue fleece one..I like the blue fleece one better cause white gets too dirty...they are pricy tho...when i bought them they were around $40 now its more...so if you can make one do that...but due to the shape its hard to find another one that works

I have a 13 lb terrier-mix. She is able just barely able to lie down and turn around, and is not able to sit upright, or stretch out lengthwise completely when lying. i use the carrier only for a short 10 minutes or so trip to the vet. I would not recommend a longer trip as the dog will probably be too cramped. I bought the carrier when she weighed only 9 lbs, so she has outgrown it. In retrospect, although the carrier is well made, I would not purchase it again, and would get a carrier made for a medium size (15-20 lb), rather than a small dog. It would give the dog a more comfortable transport. I have a 13 lb terrier-mix.

First of all, love this harness! Will she get any bigger? I ordered a small for my then 6lb shih-tzu and it was perfect! She is now coming up on 8lbs and I see the neck opening is getting a bit tight & I may be ordering the medium soon. Also take into consideration that shih-tzus are bulkier than poms so your baby's neck might be thinner :)

Sorry to be so long answering. I think you would need the large size. I see it is on sale now, so might be a good time to try it. Some people seemed to find it quite helpful. And I am sure as most dog lovers, we are willing to try anything to help our best friends!

Mine is skinnier at top, however if yours is skinny on both ends I'm sure you can tighten it equally.. Another possibility is to buy the round spare part to add to the bottom piece. I am very happy with mine, my dogs can take it off now

HI--I checked my dog's crate--there is a larger grid on the bottom--no problem yet with pan sliding. I bought her the mat for it, too, which she loves. It's about 2 in thick, foam covered with a nice fuzzy material, paid about 26 bucks for it My dog weighs 35 lb. She can turn around in it--you know how they do before they lay down. If I were you I would get the next larger size for your dog. I think my gal feels more secure in her crate. Awaiting some T-storms to see if she will go in it then.

I havnt thought of that. But I can see that working.I don't have any way to do that with my so I'm going to get another one to expand my space. And my dogs love it. . It gets them outdoors. The only problem I have is a way to secure it to the ground. Glad to help you out. Nickie

You sent a return label, but I didn't have anything to print it on. Can you please resend it....Thanks in advance.. the only thing that helped my dog was the collar. We are still having problems. My dog is a Boxer, she has a attention problem. Getting a Electric Collar.
