Due to its unique buoyancy capacity, the Protector life jacket should cover 50% to 75% of your dog&#x2019;s back.To fit the life jacket to your dog, start by opening the buckles. Slide the life jacket over your dog&#x2019;s head and place it on their back when standing. For the medium sized (4-5-6), adjust the neck strap so that you can fit two fingers in between the vest and your dog. The space should be a bit less for the smaller sizes and a bit more for the bigger sizes.The next step is closing the SAFE-T wrap system and attaching the straps around your dog&#x2019;s chest. Adjust these to sit firmly, without being uncomfortable for your dog. The hind strap can be slightly looser than the front strap.
