Like I’ve mentioned before, our dogs love water. This summer I set out to find something that they could float on and stay cool. This is the summer that my dogs are going to be floatin’ in style. I was so excited when I stumbled upon this because every time I’m trying to float in the water, my dogs want to be right out there with me. This is perfect for dog owners that have pools because you don’t have to worry about the float drifting too far. In fact, it’s not going to drift anywhere!!! For those of us that live on a lake…. well lets just say that paying attention to where this float is floatin’ is “key” to preventing a marathon swim to retrieve it:-) Happy swimming and floating to you all and don’t forget the sunscreen!!!

This is the life jacket that we have for all three of our yorkies. I must confess that I did not realize how important it is to have the life jacket fit properly. Our first experience with one of these was a disaster. The jacket itself was too large and our dogs kept flipping over and it was pushing their face into the water. As you can see by my photos, we live on a lake. We are always riding the wave runners with our dogs or boating and to have them in a life jacket enables them to have as much fun as we are. Make sure that when you put your furry friend in a life jacket, its not too much jacket for the dog. If the back of the jacket comes all the way to their tail, it is too much jacket. This will make their whole body float which will push their head down or flip them over. Neither one of these choices do you want. What you want is for the hind quarters of the dog to be lower than the head. If you watch the video on the Ruff Wear site, this gives you a good idea of what you’re looking for.
