Getting the Right Dog Life Jacket

As fellow dog lovers, we understand just how important your four-legged friend's safety is to you. With a dog life jacket you can guarantee your dog’s safety while you enjoy your day at the beach, on the lake, or by the pool. While you consider which style your dog will look best in, do not forget some other important feature to look for.

How to choose a Dog Life Jacket?

With the wide variety of dog life jacket styles and designs available in the market today, dog owners may have a hard time deciding which product to go for. Some people may regard a dog life jacket to not be such an important dog accessory, but this is not true. A dog life jacket is an indispensable necessity, because this will be the pet's primary safety gear while in the water. That is why it is so important to choose the right life jacket for the dog. By getting a dog life jacket for the pet, owners will be more at ease to allow their pet to swim alone, or leave them for just a moment to do something important.

Here are some Buying Tips:

• Size:

Make sure the size of a life jacket fits perfectly to the dog. A life vest that is too tight will not give the dog enough room to paddle or stick its head out, making it difficulty to swim. On the other hand, a dog life jacket that is too loose will allow water to get inside and may pull the dog down while in the water and lessening their buoyancy. The size is based on the weight and/or girth of the dog. For convenience, there is a jacket sizing chart available on every product page found here.

• Safety Features:

Choose a life jacket that has dependable buckles and straps. These important features prevent the dog from slipping out of the jacket. Select an adjustable strap and quick-release buckle to provide the dog with ultimate comfort and safety. Be sure to adjust the straps to give the dog enough room to move.

• Color:

Using a dog life jacket with bright color makes it easier to locate the pet in the water. Aside from the brilliant colors, some of our lifejackets come with wonderful prints that will match the dog's personality.

• Lifting handles:

Dog lifejacket also serves as a retrieving device. Using the lifting handle, owners can easily and safely retrieve the pet when it falls overboard or jumps to the dock.

• Design:

Some life jackets feature an advanced breathable mesh underbelly for proper draining and drying. Other lifejackets offer a neoprene belly band that keeps the dog warm in the water.
