FAQS
My dog is a strong swimmer. Do they really need one?
Strong swimmers tend to go further and stay out longer, so they tire out too. Currents, cold water, or a slip off a boat can catch any dog off guard. A life jacket gives them backup for those moments.
What size should I get?
Measure around the widest part of your dog's ribcage and check the size chart in the photos. Chest size matters more than weight. If your dog is between sizes, size up. When it's on, you should fit two fingers under the straps.
Will it fit a Frenchie, Pug, or Bulldog?
Yes. The straps adjust for broad chests, and flat-faced dogs tend to ride lower at the front, which is exactly where the chin float helps most.
Is the handle strong enough to lift my dog?
Yes, it's built for lifting your dog out of the water onto a boat, dock, or paddleboard. For bigger dogs, support their belly with your other hand.
My dog has never worn a life jacket. Will they accept it?
Most dogs settle in quickly. Let them wear it around the house first, then try shallow water before a big trip.
How do I clean it?
Rinse it with fresh water after salt water or pool use, and let it air dry.
Does a life jacket mean I don't need to watch my dog?
No. It's a swim aid, not a replacement for supervision. Always keep an eye on your dog in the water.
What if it doesn't fit or I'm not happy?
