How do I choose the right size for my dog?
How do I choose the right size for my dog?
Measure your dog's chest (widest part of the rib cage), neck, and back length as shown in the sizing chart on the product page. Always leave 2–3 cm of extra room so the vest fits comfortably. Weight is only a rough reference — body measurements are what truly matter when picking a size.
I'm between two sizes — which one should I pick?
I'm between two sizes — which one should I pick?
Always go with the larger size. The jacket has adjustable closures at the neck and chest, so you can easily fine-tune the fit. A vest that's too tight can restrict movement and cause discomfort — especially in the water.

Does the jacket actually keep my dog afloat?
Does the jacket actually keep my dog afloat?
Yes. The jacket was designed to provide real buoyancy and keep your dog in the correct swimming posture. It's suitable for pools, rivers, lakes, and the ocean — and especially helpful when a dog gets tired after swimming for a long time or enters water it can't exit on its own.
What is the rescue handle and why does it matter?
What is the rescue handle and why does it matter?
The rescue handle is a reinforced top handle that lets you quickly and safely lift your dog out of the water — without grabbing the collar or fur. It's especially valuable in emergencies or when your dog panics in deeper water.
Is it suitable for senior dogs or dogs with mobility issues?
Is it suitable for senior dogs or dogs with mobility issues?
Absolutely. The jacket is highly recommended for older dogs that no longer have the stamina to swim on their own. It's also used during aquatic physical therapy (hydrotherapy) sessions to support dogs during movement in the water.
Can I use it to teach my dog to swim?
Can I use it to teach my dog to swim?
Definitely. The jacket builds confidence in beginner swimmers by maintaining correct body posture and reducing the effort needed to stay afloat. As your dog gains confidence and technique over time, it will rely on the vest less and less.
Can I use the jacket in saltwater (ocean and beach)?
Can I use the jacket in saltwater (ocean and beach)?
Yes. The premium Oxford fabric handles saltwater use well. After each ocean session, rinse the jacket thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt buildup and extend the product's lifespan.
How do I wash and store the jacket?
How do I wash and store the jacket?
Hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Do not machine wash, bleach, or tumble dry. After washing, air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated spot — the quick-dry material speeds this up. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Are the velcro and buckles truly durable?
Are the velcro and buckles truly durable?
Yes. The jacket features ultra-resistant velcro and dual waist buckles that hold the fit securely even during vigorous swimming movements. The reinforced top buckle is specifically built to bear the dog's weight when lifting during a rescue.
