I want to get a life jacket for the Corkster for boat trips.  Does anyone have any recommendations or negative comments about any particular brand of life jacket?

I bought Kiba an Outward Hound Pet Gear life jacket. I think it's a medium, but do a fitting before buying to make sure. I just uploaded 2 videos of him with it on and swimming at the river. Also, him modeling it for you:

I second this.  This is the one I have for Waffle, a size Medium, but you have to be sure it fits snugly or else it will hinder more than it helps!
i have an awesome one for Gracie that I got at REI. It's Ruffwear brand and flourescent lime green. It's lightweight but sturdy and really keeps her afloat. I used it a year ago for doing some water therapy after her knee surgery. It's easy to get on and off too! Dries fast! Can't say enough good things about it. I think there's a pic in my profile.

I have one in orange.

I love the handle! Bugsy gets "lazy" in this. I got it for a houseboat trip, but he preferred to swim without it. we put it on my dad's aussie to try to get her to feel more comfortable in the water. She's just not a water dog, sigh...

If we ever go in rough water, ie: river rafting, then I would definately put his pfd on. for just hangin out in the ponds & such however, I just let him go bare - he's quite the little river otter!

Cinny and nutmeg have the cutest pink ones, I think she just loaded a video of them.

Should I get Dexter one for swimming? He seems to swim fine without it....didn't know if the life jacket makes it easier on their backs.

Dexter's a cutie!!   I got mine for Gracie because she'd had knee surgery and couldn't paddle at 100%.  I wouldn't get one if you're supervising him paddling around in the backyard pool.  I'd recommend it for the beach or a lake, but I'm no expert.
Thank you for the info :) We usually take him to a park that has a "dog" lake. We are usually in the water with him and he always stays close to the shore. If he starts to get more adventurous then I might have to get one.
