Basil the Bulldog loves going for boat rides but she hates wearing her life jacket and decides to protest the purple, cumbersome device by by turtling. Sorry, Basil. Safety first!
Maybe Basil will enjoy it more if he’s in the water, like this Husky who just likes floating around in his life jacket even though he knows how to swim.
But in all seriousness, when getting a doggie life vest we recommend getting one with a handle on the top to make it easier to pull a dog out of the water if necessary and finding one that is appropriate for the weight of your dog. And remember, do not leave a pet wearing a life vest unsupervised as they may get tangled in their gear or the gear may fail. And it should go without saying that pets should not be left unsupervised near water.
