Top 10 Reasons to Buy a Dog Life Jacket - Reason #5

You have a BIG dog.

Dogs aren't naturally buoyant. They have to work to stay afloat. Ever notice that a dog in the water is always active? It's constant dog paddling! I think that explains why most water dogs are pretty big - they need a lot of strength and energy to stay afloat!

And big dogs have to use even more energy than their smaller friends to keep their heads above water. A dog life jacket will help your pooch in her efforts to dog paddle around... And if she gets tired, can't swim or really doesn't want to swim - it may even save her life.

You Have a Puppy

Puppies flop - they flail - they fall...none of which are good news when mixed with proximity to water. A dog life jacket is critical when puppies are around the water. It will help them (and you) feel safe as they learn to swim. They buoyancy will help keep them afloat if they unexpectedly find themselves in over their little heads! And the handle will be helpful, if you need to pull them out of the water. No parent would ever let their baby on a boat or near a pool without a life vest - your puppy should be no different!

Top 10 Reasons to Buy a Dog Life Jacket - Reason #3

You have an older dog.

Even your dog has been swimming all his life, an older dog will get fatigued more easily. The buoyancy of a dog life jacket will make swimming easier for him and will give you peace of mind that if he does get tired, his dog life vest will help keep him afloat. Also if your dog is getting on in years, she may be starting to lose mobility and strength as many older doggies do. Swimming is a gentle form of exercise that can help your dog retain muscle mass/strength and preserve their mobility. A dog life vest will help keep her safe and sound during her exercise routine!

You have a pool.

From Dog Life Jackets

Each year far too many dogs accidentally down in their family's pool. Keep your dog safe by teaching them to swim and have them wear a dog life jacket while they are learning.

Having the stability and buoyancy of a life jacket will help her to feel safe. Most dog life jackets also have handles which will let you life her to safety if she gets too panicked. Also, swimming in the pool can be excellent exercise for puppies who are disabled or arthritic - and wearing a dog life jacket can help make the experience safe and comfortable for your pup.

You have a Boat

From Dog Life Jackets

The Coast Guard mandated that a boat must have a life jacket for every person aboard. Why would it be any different for you dog? Boating is unpredictable and the unexpected happens all the time. Surely your pet deserves the same level of safety as the rest of your family and friends! Especially if your dog isn't a swimmer and she goes overboard, a dog life jacket will give you peace of mind that your pup will stay above water until you are able to rescue her...

Also, most dog life jackets are equipped with a handle which is helpful on a number of levels - like keeping your dog in the boat!

Also, if your dog goes overboard or jumps off the boat, a dog life jacket will give you a nice handle to lift him out of the water...

From Dog Life Jackets

All in all, if you are planning on taking your dog on a boat, a dog life vest is an absolute must. It will give you the peace of mind that should something happen, your dog will stay afloat until you can come the the rescue. And even if everything goes according to plan... with the handy leash d-rings and handles, a dog life preserver will just make your cruise much easier!
