Dog Life Jackets
Unlike Other Dog Life Jackets
Most dog life jackets have a piece of buoyancy foam wrapped around the top of your dog, perhaps with a handle or a cute shark fin running along the top. They will have either straps or another piece of fabric underneath that secures the jacket in place. Then they will have some kind of fastening around the front of their chest under the head. This might have some extra foam and a buckle or velcro closure. These jackets act like floating capes and your dog hangs beneath them in the water without any support for the heavy chest and shoulders and the risk of them slipping out of the gaping hole at the front when you lift them is significant.
Our life jacket is different in both its design and construction. Instead of a floating cape, it forms a fully enclosed harness with the same DNA as the harness we use to lift search dogs under helicopters. We don't expect you'll be dropping onto your SUP or your kayak from a helicopter (or maybe you will to your super-yacht), but if you did then you'd be just fine in the Float Doggy.

Read all the Features and Benefits - this is a serious lifejacket
- The multi panel construction cradles your dog from below as the buoyancy foam lifts them up providing more balanced and comfortable flotation
- A design that follows the specification of a Heli-dog rescue harness
- 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. Lift your dog securely and safely back onto your board or boat.
- 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!
Designed to create balance in the water by concentrating maximum floatation around the heavy front part of your dog. We don't want the jacket to extend past the point of the hips. Ideally it finishes somewhere between the last rib and the hips. 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 via our chat link 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
