Pricey but THE BEST
These are triple, maybe even 4x the price of life jackets on Amazon and whatnot, but this is the only brand I’ll put on my dog. The fit is just so perfect on all my dogs. They aren’t bulky, aren’t so long they cover the dog’s entire back, and are so high quality. I like how minimal they are. My dogs wrestle, run through bushes, and roll in the sand while wearing these and nothing has torn yet. I use the handle often to lift my heavy dogs onto the paddle board and the handle is super sturdy. Anatomically, I don’t think my dogs have any restriction with the range of motion. They’ll wear these jackets for 1-3 hours at a time and seem extremely comfortable. I also like how you can tie back the excess strap so it’s not just dangling under your dogs belly. After owning these, and having experience my friend’s off-brand life jackets, I will only buy Ruffwear! I’m so glad I bit the bullet and started with these instead of messing around with cheaper ones.

Awesome Harness
Had this for a few years; great product. Our little 13 pound dog loves to sit on the end of the kayak. Easy to pluck her back out of the water with the handle on the lifejacket when she slips off.

Works great!
It fit comfortably and my pup was able to swim easily without obstruction. The handle works well for comfortably assisting her back onto the paddleboard.

Beautiful and useful life jacket
A really helpful gear for dogs who are learning to swim. It also gives us a peace of mind when doing boardpaddling in deep waters.
