Size Guide - Float Doggy Lifejacket

Getting a good fit in any life jacket, human or canine, is important to its effectiveness. To help in this the Stunt Puppy Float Doggy has some important differences to other dog life jackets.

The main difference is that this harness is enclosed all around your dog's body rather than having an opening under the front legs. It's a small difference, but an important one.

The enclosed harness supports your dog better in the water, balances out their natural buoyancy by supporting the heavier chest and shoulder areas from beneath, and makes for safer, more comfortable lifting in dog overboard situations.

There are 2 key measurements for a Stunt Puppy life jacket:

1. Around the base of the neck

2. Around the girth

Where Should the lifejacket end?

We don't want the jacket to extend past the point of the hips. Ideally it finishes somewhere between the last rib and the hip.

The jacket doesn't need to extend all the way along to the tail and we don't want it to.

We want the support at the front end, concentrating support here around the heavy rib cage (where all the organs are kept!) this balances the heavy front body with the lighter back end.
