    Another Home Run

    We were introduced to RUFFWEAR with our two Silky Terriers Angel and Maverick. Both loved water and we as responsible boaters wanted nothing less than for their ULTIMATE SAFETY! We researched K9 LifeJackets extensively and concluded RUFFWEAR hands-down had the finest fit and quality. Angel & Maverick crossed the Rainbow Bridge, and now we have MaxXx and JaxXx. MaxXx fits ideally in Angel's lifejacket; however, JaxXx needed an in-between size. We weren't surprised to see RUFFWEAR improved on what was the VERY BEST, now JaxXx too is safe in his RUFFWEAR New Generation II LifeJacket.

    Both stylish , functional and insanely durable!

    First time to the lake

    Our nine month old English Setter building his swim confidence with the float coat. It was great to have on him, super light but also strong when he had to be pulled out.

    Best life jacket

    We have this jacket for another dog. It is comfortable for the dog, easy for them to sit in while canoeing, and looks sharp. Worked so well we got the same one for another dog.
