help three-legged dogs swim with float coat dog life jacket

(August 4, 2008) I love to swim. And yes, we three legged dogs really can swim! But since we tire easily, we can sometimes take on water.

My people discovered this the hard way, and stopped taking me to the lakes I love so much. That's why I'm glad they got me a new K-9 Float Coat from Ruff Wear!

Now I can swim farther and longer than ever before. Ruff Wear's new K-9 Float Coat provides the extra buoyancy your tripawd needs to truly enjoy swimming. Keep reading to read our product review and view the demonstration video we produced, or to order yours today!

The K-9 Float Coat from Ruff Wear is far superior to any other dog life jackets on the market. Since this flotation device wraps all the way under the belly, it provides chest protection and support from the moment your dog enters the water. Other canine life preservers only offer flotation padding on the back, which doesn't help until your dog is halfway under water.

With variable thickness buoyancy cells, the K-9 Float coat delivers proven fit and functionality. A generous ergonomic cut provides full range of motion in and out of the water. Putting on and removing the Float Coat is easy with three sturdy quick release buckles.

The padded neck support can be easily adjusted with its Velcro closure. And the low profile assistance handle helps you help your tripawd when additional support is needed.

Two strong girth straps keep your dog centered and in the coat. And high contrast color options provide superior visibility.
