I have an 80 lb lab that loves to swim. Will this stay attached if he's in and out of the water?

Here are my thoughts on your question. My dogs are 10 and 13 lbs. neither one really likes to go outside except to do their business (and not always then). What I can guess about your situation is this...The tags are attached with a cloth and Velcro wrap that goes around the collar. I'm not confident that they would stay on with no trouble on a very active rough and tumble kind of dog. But, I do think they could easily be stitched to the collar in a couple of places and this would alleviate any problems from arising. They have heavy duty needles and thread that could work easily. A regular needle may even do the trick. They are really cool tags and worth the little bit of extra effort, I think.

I have 2 large dogs who also love to swim. Most of the time I take their collars off before they go because they tend to wreck the dollars faster. They have gone swimming a few times with them on and I have had no problems with them. They stayed on I love these ID tags

I think it's supposed to but it's to tight on my dog and she's miserable since I don't let her on the boats or kayak with out it on. Just having the buckles clicked on seems to work for lifting her back in. I think it might rub if the dog is going to be running/swimming without the Velcro engaged

Yes, it stayed in place with my 80 lb. chocolate lab walking on it. the lock was broken when it arrived, and that didn't matter. Thank goodness!

My dog swims in the lake with his on with no problem. I do take it off and let it dry and brush off any sand or debris when he comes in.

You might have an issue with the straps if they are they are too active. So far no problems for me. M y puppy is weighing in at 60+ lbs and he is almost 6 month as old. I have found it to be very durable.

It keeps my dog out of the pool (a medium-sized poodle mix), but if you have a particularly large or determined dog, they might make it thru. ;)

No need to worry about that. The extra buoyancy keeps the head above water but will not flip your dog over.

The harness eventually slips off my dog if I leave it on him. It's not really designed to stay on.

Mine has managed to escape out of it once when I first put it on him, think I may have had it a little loose. But I have also seen it stop him literally in mid air the next time he was spooked. Just depends on how tight you have it on him. The velcro is super strong.

It will not float. you can attach your dog to the unit but if it's a big dog the dog will pull it around.

This isn't attached to a wall or floor, so if you have a determined jumper, they will probably be able to get over it. Overall, it's very sturdy, though. I have a 60 lb basset hound that tried once or twice to push it over or go around but he gave up and hasn't tried since. We've had it almost a year with no issues. We use it on carpet. Might move or slide more on smooth floors.

I SUP on this board with my big dog and it has been great. Because it is foam, it is a little higher in the water which is good with a big dog. I do have some superficial scratches from when he has fallen off and scrambled back on but nothing deep.

The collar that came with the underground fence system would not keep our 80 pound boxer inside, but with the super collar, she stays put. It should do the trick for you. Hope so. Good luck!

I have a 55 lb Catahoula. I bought the extra large. We don't do water play though, she plays with it inside and she loves it. I have found that toys that didn't suit her well as a pup do much better at 2 years. She tore up a wubba as a pup but this one is holding up just fine now.

We have an 80-pound lab mix and he loves it. We can even shrink it down to the medium setting and he still fits well.
