Customer Reviews
fits perfectly
Super easy to put on. Skipper is always happy to have the jacket on. Very happy with our purchase.
thanks so much! Skipper looks super comfy and Mango is perfect for him. Hope ok if we share Skippers photo in store?
Our dog is not an enthusiastic swimmer, but we are ocean people, so if she wants to be with us she needs to get in the sea. We had a life jacket from the pet store and the flotation was mostly on the back which was not much help to keep her head out of water. The Stunt Puppy lifejacket has good flotation under the chest which is much more useful. It is also easier to get on. We are now much more confident taking her out on the kayak and SUP board with her new jacket.
First time doggy boater. Can’t thank you enough for the life jacket. The handle is amazing, making transport so easy, especially down tricky stairs and on and off tenders. I felt so comfortable having my dog onboard, solely thanks to this life jacket. LOVE THE PRODUCT.

Dog LifeJackets
The Stunt Puppy Dog Lifejacket
No shark fins, no glitter, no thin ‘pretty’ fabric, no gaping hole under the chest, no flapping, no tummy cutting straps.
Inspired by human kayaking and wakeboarding vests, the Stunt Puppy dog life jacket uses a unique and patented enclosed design that wraps your dog in an ergonomic, balanced, comfortable and secure flotation jacket.
The design of these Stunt Puppy life jackets is taken very seriously because dogs' lives are at risk if they do not perform properly. Not trying to be dramatic, but not all dog life jackets are created with the same level of design functionality and attention to detail.
There are two key differences versus other dog life jackets:
1. A fully enclosed harness that is better for buoyancy, security and comfort
- A unique dog life jacket that encloses between the front legs - other dog life jackets are open between the front legs
- Enclosed 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
2. Curved and articulated panels for a better, more streamlined fit
- Every panel on the Float Doggy is curved to mirror the shape of a dog's body
- Each panel is articulated for flexibility to improve comfort and movement and give streamlined fit
- Panels use different densities of foam to best balance flotation and reduce bulk
- Independent front and rear adjustments allow for different body shapes
- The Float Doggy uses a unique combination of structural design and materials to provide a secure, ergonomic, comfortable fit and balanced flotation.
The best materials for the job are used including Cordura® fabrics, Solas® reflective tapes and bar-tack for the fastenings for durability and safety.
Key Features and Benefits
- Harness construction cradles your dog from below as the buoyancy foam lifts them up providing more balanced and comfortable flotation
- Harness construction secures dogs inside the harness so they cannot wriggle or slip out when being lifted and keeps pressure off soft tissue of throat and belly
- Floatation between the front legs keeps the front end and head higher in the water without craning the dog's head or putting pressure on the throat
- Hinged foam segments allow free movement and a better fit
- Variable density foam complements natural buoyancy
- Tapered panels give a better fit on a range of doggy shapes
- Double adjustment straps secure the jacket evenly and firmly on a range of doggy shapes
- Full-length lifting handle and leash attachment for doggy overboard situations
- Durable construction using Cordura® Nylon and waterproof reflective tapes
- No Velcro or awkward fastenings!
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 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
