My dog Scout, a golden retriever, loved swimming over the past 10 years. Unfortunately, six months ago he became paralyzed and lost use of his rear legs and tail. He now scoots around in a drag bag or a wheel chair. I wanted him to have the opportunity to swim again and bought this life preserver. It has been a life saver! He is like the old Scout swimming alongside our other golden and lab. This life preserver holds him up and isn't cumbersome. It's exactly want I needed to feel comfortable that he wasn't going to drown and swimming is exactly what he needed to feel "normal." I would recommend this in a heartbeat!
