A dog life jacket is a must-have safety item for the conscientious dog owner who takes their pet with them on aquatic excursions. Many water-based recreational activities can be enjoyed alongside man’s best friend, such as boating, fishing, water-skiing, and yachting. However, not all dogs are strong swimmers or able to swim at all, and even for the water-loving dog it can be hard to retrieve them once overboard.

Dog life jackets make it easy to get an overboard dog back to safety by placing a sturdy handle on your canine’s back. They also act as floatation devices to keep less capable swimmers above water. Many prudent dog lovers have chosen to outfit their pooch with a life jacket before hitting the ocean, lake, or river.

Doggy life jackets are available from a number of manufacturers in many different shapes and sizes to fit every breed. Paws Aboard makes designer doggy life jackets for the fashion-conscious water dog. They also feature a breathable mesh underbelly for draining and drying, Velcro fastening, and reflective strips and bright colors for high visibility.
