DOG LIFE JACKETS

Whilst most dogs are reasonably strong swimmers, there are innumerable reasons why the dog may need further help to survive, perhaps injury or shock. Either of these can compromise the dog's ability to swim effectively. Additionally the cold UK waters will rapidly erode a dog's energy. 

Besides adding to buoyancy the life jacket will also increase heat-retention; together these factors may substantially increase the time available to effect a rescue. The life jacket's integral grab handle will make your dog an easier target for securing by hand or boathook whilst at night, the luminescent quality of the jacket will enable your dog to be more easily spotted in the dark, heaving seas.

FEATURES

The design enables fast size adjustment ensuring a flexible, comfortable fit.  Buoyancy is provided by three high-density expanded polyethelene (EPE) panels fitted along the jacket's length. Two additional EPE panels are located under the dog's head, raising it above the body and keeping it clear of the water level.

Designed to float your dog in a horizontal swimming position. The dog's own body shape, with most weight distributed at the rear end, allows the body to tilt, further raising the head above the level of the body and clear of the water level. Unlike many other kinds of buoyancy aids on the market these jackets provide an even level of flotation along the dog's back, offering enhanced comfort and support.

The high luminosity orange fabric offers high visibility whilst additional reflective strips enable identification in poor visibility conditions. The jackets combine three different deniers of fabric with velcro panels and plastic snap-click fastenings to offer the optimum combination of security and comfort.
