While some dogs are natural born swimmers others are not. Either way it is a wise investment for your dogs safety. Dogs can struggle to keep their heads above water and could potentially drowned if you could not reach them in time. If you are having your dog ride on your Kayak, Canoe, or Paddleboard it is essential that you have a life jacket for them.
There are no standards or certifications for canine life jackets or life vests, but here are some things
to look for:
- A handle on top of the jacket will make it easier for you to grab hold of your dog if he's floundering. It will also makes it easier to teach your dog to swim; you can guide him in the water until he feels confident swimming on his own.
- The life jacket or vest should have a D-ring so you can attach a leash.
- Decide whether your dog need a life jacket or a vest. Dog life jackets cover more of the dog and provide both buoyancy and visibility. They're recommended for boating and any time your dog may be in open or rough water. If your dog swims primarily in a pool, a life vest is lighter, covers less area, and and is easier for swimming.
- Although dog life jackets come in all sorts of fun colors and prints, bright colors will make it easier to spot him in the water.
