How do I size my dog?
Measure around the widest part of your dog's chest, just behind the front legs, and match it to the size chart on the product page. If your dog measures between two sizes, we generally recommend sizing up for a looser, more comfortable fit and down for a snugger, more secure one.
What does the 60-day guarantee cover?
Try the vest on real water days for up to 60 days. If you're not seeing calmer, more level swims, send it back for a refund — no forms, no hoops.
How long does shipping take?
Most orders leave our warehouse within 1-2 business days. Delivery typically takes 3-7 business days depending on your location. Orders over the free-shipping threshold ship at no extra cost.
Will the chin-support pillow actually fit my dog's build?
The pillow sits below the chin and floats independently of the body panel, so it adjusts to a wide range of neck shapes and sizes — including short-nosed and flat-faced breeds that tend to struggle the most once they're tired.
What is the vest made from?
A ripstop outer shell over a closed-cell foam float core, with a breathable mesh liner against the belly and quick-release buckles rated for regular water use.
Is the vest safe to leave a dog unsupervised in water?
No flotation device replaces supervision. The ChinRest Dog Life Vest is designed to support a tired swimmer and make rescue easier, but dogs should always be watched around water, just as you'd watch a child.
