Dog Life Jackets

Leave the bulky life jacket at home!

This life jacket uses floatation panels instead of traditional solid foam floatation.

Keep your dog safe with this unique life jacket design balancing buoyancy with freedom of movement by using floatation panels and breathable HexiVent material. Non-Stop Dogwear developed their unique SAFE-R buoyancy construction placing split foam panels on the sides of the life jacket allowing the dog freedom of movement since it can turn without restriction along with increased buoyancy. The breathability of the Protector Life Jacket is unmatched, the HexiVent material allows water to flow through the jacket and the ventilated top helps prevent your dog from overheating. There is a sturdy handle which can be used to lift the dog out of the water and onto a boat, dock, or paddleboard. The SAFE-T wrap system which wide chest straps distributes pressure for comfort and safety. There is a reflective stripe on the handle for low light visibility, a leash attachment point on the back (as well as two on the side on the orange version, great for rehab purposes) and a small pocket.

KEY FEATURES

• SAFE-R buoyancy construction
• HexiVent material for ultimate breathability
• Floating panels, segmented for easy turning
