Superior Buoyancy and Quick Drying

Crafted from high-grade polyester oxford & nylon fabric, mesh fabric, and pearl cotton foam, the Chill Out Dog Life Jacket allows for quick drying and proper drainage, keeping your dog comfortable and preventing unpleasant odors.

Easy Rescue and Secure Fit

Every Chill Out Dog Life Jacket is equipped with a durable grab handle, making it incredibly easy to quickly pull your dog out of the water in any emergency situation. For the perfect fit, please measure your dog's ribcage at its deepest part before selecting a size. If your dog's measurements fall between sizes, we recommend choosing the next size up to ensure maximum comfort and effectiveness.

Built for Adventure, Designed for Safety

Give your dog the additional safety and endurance they need for hours of fun in the water. While our life jackets are designed to provide superior protection, please do not leave your dog unattended while they are wearing the lifejacket.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dog Water Safety

Q: Is it true that all dogs can naturally swim?
A: No, this is a common misconception. While some breeds are more naturally inclined to swim (like Labradors or Golden Retrievers), many dogs are not strong swimmers or may even have an aversion to water. Brachycephalic breeds (flat-faced dogs like Pugs or Bulldogs) often struggle due to their physiology, and even strong swimmers can tire quickly or encounter unexpected currents.

Q: Why is a life jacket important even for dogs who can swim?
A: Even the strongest swimmers can benefit greatly from a life jacket. It provides:
Increased Buoyancy: Reduces effort, allowing your dog to swim longer without tiring.

• Enhanced Visibility: Bright colours often make your dog easier to spot in the water, especially in open areas.
• Assistance in Emergencies: The grab handle is crucial for quick rescues if your dog gets into trouble, tires, or needs to be lifted out of the water.
• Confidence: For hesitant swimmers, the added support can build confidence and make swimming a more enjoyable experience.
• Support for Older or Ailing Dogs: Provides necessary buoyancy for dogs with arthritis or other mobility issues, allowing them to still enjoy the water for therapy or recreation.

Q: What are some general safety tips for taking my dog swimming?
A:

• Always Supervise: Never leave your dog unattended near or in water, even with a life jacket on.
• Start Slowly: Introduce your dog to water gradually and positively.
• Check Water Quality: Avoid stagnant, dirty, or fast-moving water. Be aware of hidden hazards like sharp rocks or strong currents.
• Rinse After Swimming: Especially after swimming in saltwater or chlorinated pools, rinse your dog thoroughly to prevent skin irritation.
• Watch for Overexertion: Dogs can get tired quickly. Encourage breaks and and know when it's time to head out of the water.
• Beware of Cold Water: Hypothermia can be a risk, especially for smaller dogs or in cooler climates.
• Protect Paws: Hot surfaces around pools or lakes can burn paws. Consider booties if walking on hot ground.
• Provide Fresh Water: Always have fresh drinking water available to prevent your dog from drinking potentially harmful lake or pool water.

Q: How do I choose the right size life jacket for my dog?
A: The most critical measurement is your dog's ribcage at its deepest part. Use a soft measuring tape. Refer to the specific sizing chart for the Chill Out Dog Life Jacket. If your dog's measurement falls between two sizes, always choose the next size up to ensure a comfortable and secure fit that won't restrict movement. A well-fitting life jacket should be snug but allow for freedom of movement and breathing.

Q: Can my dog wear the Chill Out Dog Life Jacket all day?
A: While our life jackets are designed for comfort and quick-drying, they are intended for use during water activities. It's best to remove the life jacket once your dog is out of the water and dry to allow their skin and fur to breathe properly.

Equip your dog with the Chill Out Dog Life Jacket and make every splash a safe and enjoyable one!
