Dog Life Jacket

Until a good friend of mine lost his dog while boating I never really thought much about pet safety or buying anything like a dog life jacket. Honestly I didn't even know that such a thing existed.

If you love sharing kayaking, rafting and the outdoors with your dog you need to think pet safety.

When it comes to the water and dogs people just think that a dog, any dog is a great swimmer. Sadly that is not true. Some breeds are prone to hypothermia because they lack the body fat needed to stay warm in colder water.

The other factor is fatigue.

Even the best human swimmers get tired after being in the water for an extended period of time, well a dog isn't any different. Your dog un-like you can't ask for help like you can. Most times they just go under when they become excused.

A dog life jacket can mean the difference between life and death for your pet!

Like human life jackets pet life preservers come in bright colors so you can easily find your dog in the water should he fall overboard. Pet life jackets are perfect for older dogs as an added safety measure around pools, lakes or docks.

If you and your dog spend a lot time around water please consider getting a dog life jacket for him. The law might not require a dog life jacket but good judgment does!
