    Perfect fit and support for our swimming pups

    Our labmix loves swimming more than anything in the world. This coat offers a little extra support and peace of mind for us. Opted for this jacket over the other because of the "chin" bar that will help support our shyer swimmer when she's in the water. Our young pup was right on the line between sizes, so we went with the larger size so it would extend farther down her torso.

    BEST LIFE JACKET EVER!

    This life jacket is so great. It’s super light weight but also durable. My dog loves to swim and go out on the paddle board. The handle is a nice feature to help pull her back up onto the board. For reference, she is about 40 pounds and wears a Small. 10/10 would buy again!

    Boating Fun

    My dog has figured out he’s safe and can’t sink. He’s been having a blast on the lake this year. Thanks Ruffwear!
