Do dog life jackets actually work?
Dog life jackets do actually work, providing safety and helpful buoyancy for your pet in the water. When properly used, dog life jackets can make it easier to stay afloat and avoid fatigue during swimming. Dog life jackets can also help protect your dog if he falls into the water or has a medical emergency while in or near water. Many dog life jackets come in easy-to-spot colors so you and others can see your dog in the water. You should always have your dog wear a life jacket if he will be spending any time around water.
What size life jacket does my dog need?
Your dog needs a life jacket in the size that most closely fits his measurements and weight. To choose the right size life jacket, start by measuring your dog and matching his dimensions and weight to the size chart on the specific Chewy product listing. Size up if your dog is between sizes and ensure the jacket fits properly before using it. Chewy includes a size guide, measuring guidelines and weight recommendations on every dog life jacket product page.
