My lab weighs the exact same...good luck in finding a vest that fits! The smallest I could find was a cabelas brand and it's a hair too big. Be care with chafing with slightly oversized vests--probably best to put the vest on once at the destination rather and off to/from the area.

I've had one of the cabelas vests for years. Great vest, and like Jesse said it fits great. I went hunting with a guy last night that had one of those Avery vests with the handle on the back and it really looked like the shizzel.

I guess Durrty1 logged off, but I have one made with Herters name, in skyline camo, I'll give to anyone who wants it. Durrty1 get first dibs tho.
I used it once on my lab several years ago, he weighed over 100 pounds and it fit him tight. It did seem to float his big old fat body pretty good however.

I just heard from Durrty1. He thinks it would be too big for his dog. Who wants it????

Anyone know how to make a dog vest fit that is a little bit too big? I have a rather small lab and like the vest but am not sure what to do now. I'm thinking of putting some sort of velcro strapping on the sides so that I can make it pretty tight on the dog... but was curious if anyone else had any other suggestions.

I think the easiest way to make a too large vest fit on a dog would be to feed the dog more food.

RR,

Cut it to fit and then stitch the neoprene together and seal it with Aquaseal.
