Water Vests
This is an all-in-one life vest, as it not only serves as a life vest, but also a raincoat and a personal flotation device. Use it as-is on your dog for safety while in the water, or take the shell off for the perfect doggy rain vest. With the shell off, the Kurgo Surf n Turf Dog Life Vest becomes a flotation device. Plus, on top of all of this, Kurgo will give you a life time warranty! The bright red life vest comes in five sizes and has a reflective trim for nighttime visibility. The D-Ring makes it easy to attach a leash, while the handle makes for easy lifting. The only con with this life vest is that it can only be used in shallow water, not for boating or water activities.

There are certain breeds that naturally take to the water, and others that don’t. And although most dogs have a natural instinct and know how to swim, this isn’t always the case. As well, just like humans, a dog that is scared or tired can start to struggle when in the water. There could also be something stopping them from staying afloat, like, for example, a wake from a passing boat. For the safety of your dog, it’s important to think about using a safety vest or jacket, also known as a doggy life jacket. Life vests may seem like an unnecessary thing for a dog, but they can often be extremely important, especially for dogs that spend a lot of time in or near water. Be it a lake at the cottage, a dog park along the Lakeshore or a backyard swimming pool, in some situations a life vest could literally save your dog’s life. But choosing the right life jacket for you furry family member is important.
