Purchased for my Mini Aussie, as we are on the water till it freezes. I got the puppy a small as he was about 15# when first used and it was bit roomy, but now at 22# if fits great. Construction is really durable and I love the handle and leash point on the back. Floats well and the pup doesn't mind it at all, so it is very comfortable. Picture is when he was 15#

Love this jacket. Our other dog has been using the Ruffwear model but decided to try the Astral for our pup. After the first trip I like the Astral better in terms of flotation, fit, and durability. The Ruffwear is quicker on and off but the Astral is more robust and provides a more customizable fit along with more flotation. In heavier water I would trust the Astral over the Ruffwear. The Astral is a bit stiff and bulky when you first put it on but after some time in the water it softens up and is a nice fit. My dog is a mini Aussie about 25lbs the size Small was perfect.

Love it!

This jacket exceeded our expectations. The M fits my 6 month old Goldendoodle she is 23 pounds works well. I used your sizing chart. It was helpful. It helps her, when tired, too keep her mouth out of the water enough to stop the coughing that used to interrupt her work / fun. The handle hasn't yet been needed but I see it could be a life saver! She loves it as much as I do!
