    Our favorite piece of gear

    Perfect for paddle boarding when all Ruby wants to do is swim! The leash attachment is sturdy enough to withhold a 45lb bully dragging us to the water.

    Love the details

    I'm so thankful to Ruffwear for making the same great gear for this mini guy as my big girls. This little guy is more of an adventurer than the girls. So glad to have the best possible gear for him.

    Frenchie Approved!

    Love this life jacket! With our frenchie mix sometimes it’s hard to find the right fit. This jacket is perfect. It expands as he is still growing but allows for a snug fit that supports his weight in the water. Doesn’t rub on his chest and he has no problem running around in it. Definitely recommend.
