This week marks a milestone in Tripawd dog life jackets. Ruffwear just launched the Confluence Dog Life Jacket, a revolutionary and indispensable tool for three-legged canines who love water. Tripawd-tested by Tapeats, a three-legged adventure dog in Oregon, we know you’re going to love this big upgrade in safety and comfort.
The Confluence is not your typical dog life vest. You won’t find anything as high quality, more comfortable, or better fitting on a three-legged dog who loves to swim.
More tailored than the previous Float Coat by Ruffwear, it’s a comfy flotation jacket that helps dogs like Tapeats swim longer and safer than ever.
Tripawd Tapeats Tests the Ruffwear Confluence Life Jacket for Dogs
We don’t stock the Tripawds Gear Shop with products that haven’t been tested by three-legged heroes. What a thrill to see that that Tapeats the Tripawd tested the life jacket in a photo shoot for Ruffwear. Check out what he and his mom Morgan thought about Ruffwear’s latest gear for dogs with three or four legs!
Tapeats is a spirited three-legged adventure dog who spends his days adventuring in the Oregon mountains. Despite a rough start on the streets of Guadalajara, Mexico, he now lives a fantastic life with his humans.
Named after an earthy-colored geological layer in the Grand Canyon, Tapeats’ resilient nature brightens everyone’s day, especially his mom, Morgan.
Tapeats is not just any dog; he’s a little “meat missile,” as Morgan’s friends affectionately call him. His non-stop puppy-like energy and zest for life make every day an adventure. Tapeats can “chase sticks all day,” says Morgan. “He’s oddly a powerhouse, and he is so strong, we hike a lot.”
A Major Life Jacket Upgrade for Tripawd Dogs Who Swim
Tapeats and his humans really love swimming and rafting too. And his Ruffwear dog life jacket has always been non-negotiable for this river running pack. “We call it his little adventure jacket,” says Morgan. “But if he doesn’t have that on and we go near water, he won’t really go in it. Almost like he’s telling us that ‘It’s my safety coat.'”
“The Confluence definitely has more stability around his whole core.”
Tapeats previously wore a Ruffwear Float Coat, which worked well enough to keep him safe in the water. But like any front-leg amputee pet parent knows, even the best gear slips a little on dogs missing a front leg. Ruffwear’s genius product designers have eliminated that problem with the Confluence dog life jacket.
“The Confluence definitely has more stability around his whole core. It seemed like we had more ability to kind of grab him, and the coat wasn’t going to shift as much. It was a slimmer fit. It’s not as bulky,” Morgan explains.
The Confluence Dog Life Jacket Design is a Game Changer for Tripawds Like Tapeats
This better, more form fitting dog swim jacket is the best you’ll find for an amputee dog who needs extra support, balance and mobility in water. With more stability than ever, now all three-legged heroes who love water can confidently embrace their adventures without hesitation or fear.
The right support makes all the difference for a dog with three legs. Ruffwear’s Confluence isn’t just a piece of gear. It’s an essential tool that allows Tripawds like Tapeats to keep exploring and living life to the fullest.
