All dogs love to swim, small dogs and large. If you are going to swim with your pal a great investment is a well-designed life jacket. A dog life vest with help your dog remained afloat as well as conserves energy while swimming.
I think the best made life vests for dogs on the market are by Ruff Wear. Ruff Wear is great company that makes lots of well-designed gear for the active dog and owner. Their attention to detail in their designs as well as the attention to manufacturing is just a couple of things that set them at the top of their market.
Ruff Wear has two designs of life vests for dogs and both come in all sizes for all dog breeds. They are both designed with specially placed, PVC free, flotation cells that help keep the dog in a natural horizontal position. The vests come with a handle on the back so you can lend a hand when getting out of the water.
The first, more economical model is the Portage Float Coat and is designed for calmer water conditions, for dogs that do not float well or are new to swimming.
The second is the Big Eddie and is made with the same great design and materials but is made for rough water and for dogs that are well versed in the water.
If you are going boating or swimming with your pal a dog life vest is essential. This is especially true for all small dog breeds that may not have the physical traits that larger water dogs do like webbed feet. Everyone’s safety near or in the water is most important thing about water fun. Fun is what spending time with you pal is about. A dog life vest will assure you that everyone is safe.
