I am sold!
are the handles heavy duty enough to haul out a 100 pound lab?

We help our full grown collie in the boat with the handle, and he is big for a collie. (ALOT of wet hair = ALOT of weight !!!)

Would you let a face like this sink?​

Get a vest.​

The handles are good for steering them around and to assist getting them in the boat, but not really strong enough for actually lifting (at least a 75 lb Lab).​

We have one for our 75lb Golden for all of the already mentioned reasons. And we have lifted her into the boat a couple of times by using the handle on the top of the jacket without a problem.

I would think if you buy a good quality jacket made for a dog upto 100 lbs, the handle should be fine to lift him from!

Good luck and enjoy boating with your dog!

Re: Pet Life Jacket.

His old vest was built different than this one, and that ripped where the front of the lifting strap attached. This one seems better made, but I really have not tried to lift him with it. Looking at how this one is sewn, it might actually handle it.​
