Have used the NRS CFD's on two corgi's for about five years now. They have even surfed in the Pacific in them. Corgi's ain't the most bouyant critters and these guys have been chundered, and they always pop up and float like corks when using the CFD's. Love em'.

Thanks for the feedback, the pics are awesome. I am going to take him into a shop to test fit, given he is a 100lb and growing german shepherd puppy so the body shape might be an issue which I had not considered.

my two dogs have the ruff wear pfd's and i like them very much! they have been durable and fit them both well. one dog is roughly 30 lbs. and the other is 45lbs size range. i especially like the grab loop on the back which comes in handy for holding onto them when running rapids or just helping them in or out of the raft. they also make a nice sleeping pad for them or a pillow for you at camp.

also....if you have a skinny cold dog like i do you can fold up a tent footprint, drape it around them and put the pfd on over the top.

and i agree with whoever said the ruff wear booties suck. they do.

NRS CFD Dog PFD

Since you purchased your CFD, we've modified the design to prevent the slipping of the neck band. It looks like you made a good fix for the problem. If it's not working well for you, we'll replace it for you.

And that my friends is why I buy from a local NRS dealer. Support local and get the best warranty in the business.

I had a RuffWear small for the dog when he was a pup. Bought the NRS CFD last summer on a friends recommendation. The buoyancy is on the dogs back rather than a full wrap. This means he can swim well and does not "Roll over" with the flotation.
