Dog Lifejackets
We sell the only two lifejackets that provide full chest support, which is vital to keep your dogs head above water.
Both of these jackets have exceptional designs to ensure they fit around your dog snuggly to provide maximum support. They both have multiple panels which are adjustable. They both have super strong lifting handles, which is one of the most vital benefits of having a really good dog lifejacket. So many people don’t real realize the importance of being able to lift your dog safely from the water. It is very very important that the handle is not just stitched to the fabric of the jacket or this will rip and your dog will fall from your grip.
The Stuny Puppy lifejackets come from the USA and are hard to obtain we sell out so quickly we had to find another fantastic jacket to ensure you can keep your dog safe. We are proud to now stock the two best life jackets you can find anywhere in the world.
It completely confuses us why there are no safety standards for dog bouyancy aids. There are so many out there advertised as ‘dog lifejackets’, which are probably more likely to put your dog risk not keeping him safe!

The Stunt Puppy Dog Lifejackets.
Quick Size Guide
We don't want the jacket to extend past the point of the hips. Ideally it finishes somewhere between the last rib and the sacrum. The jacket doesn't need to extend all the way along to the tail and we don't want it to.
The belly panel sits along the base of the ribcage and does not go into the groin area or interfere with boy dog 'business'
The neck is a snug but not tight fit at the base of the neck. If you can slide your hand comfortably inside that is a good.
- Start by looking and weight and breed
- then look at 2nd chart to ensure your dogs base of neck and chest cm's fit within the recommended size.

We Resolved Two Issues with this Dog Life Jacket
Enclosed The Harness Between The Front Legs
- Conventional jackets are open between the front legs, which can cause the heavy head and chest area to sink and fall through that gap - so we closed it with a continuous articulated chest and belly panel
- The enclosed design is better for buoyancy, security and comfort, particularly when being lifted
- Flotation in the under-chest panel supports the heavier shoulder area and helps keep the head higher in the water
- Attaching the handle to the full harness supports the dog fully, secures them firmly and eases pressure on soft issue
Trimmed And Articulated Panels To Create A More Streamlined Fit
- Conventional jackets are mostly rectangular with a curve around the neck because that’s cheaper to produce, but rectangles don’t fit around the curves of a dog and single piece buoyancy foam is stiff and awkward
- Every panel on the Float Doggy is curved to mirror the shape of a dog's body
- Each Float Doggy panel is articulated for flexibility to improve comfort and movement and give streamlined fit
- Float Doggy panels uses different densities of foam to best balance flotation and reduce bulk
- Independent front and rear adjustments allow for different body shapes
- For best visibility in and around the water we made the top panels brighter and placed waterproof reflective tape on the handle right on top for beacon-like visibility
If you are still unsure, please get in touch with us at info@surfdogaustralia.com and provide us with the measurements and if possible a photo of your dog so we can see what we're aiming for. The best photos are taken side on to the camera, standing, so we can get a clear view of the torso
