Never treat it as a substitute for supervision.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNever leave a dog in water unattended, in or out of a vest.\u003c\/strong\u003e Stay within reach, especially in surf, current or cold water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe manufacturer does not publish a measurement chart, a buoyancy rating, or a maximum dog weight.\u003c\/strong\u003e We have not invented one. Before ordering, measure your dog's chest girth behind the front legs, and message us with that measurement and your dog's weight — we will check the size against the supplier rather than guess for you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCheck the fit on dry land first.\u003c\/strong\u003e The vest should be snug enough that it cannot slide forward over the head or rotate under the belly, but loose enough for two fingers under every strap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduce it gradually.\u003c\/strong\u003e Let your dog wear the vest around the house and garden before the first swim, so the water is not the first new thing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlan the exit before the entry.\u003c\/strong\u003e Know where your dog can get out — a ramp, a step, a shallow bank — before it goes in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rinse in fresh water after every use, especially after chlorine or salt water, and hang to dry fully out of direct sun.

The manufacturer publishes size labels (S to XXL) but no measurement chart, so send us those two numbers before ordering and we will confirm with the supplier rather than have you guess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this keep my dog afloat if it gets into trouble?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt adds buoyancy and buys time — that is the honest answer. It is a swim aid, not a certified life jacket, and there is no published buoyancy rating. Your dog still needs you within reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy dog already swims well. Is a vest pointless?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Good swimmers still tire, and it is distance and cold that catch dogs out rather than technique. A vest is most useful on long swims, on boats, and in cold or moving water, where a confident dog is most likely to overcommit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be used in a chlorinated pool?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, and rinse it in fresh water afterwards. Chlorine left in polyester will shorten the life of the fabric and the stitching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it have a lifting handle on the back?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe manufacturer does not confirm one, so we are not claiming it. If you specifically need a grab handle for lifting a dog out of a boat, ask us first and we will check before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan my dog wear its collar and leash with the vest?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeep a collar on for ID, but never leave a leash attached to a dog in open water — a trailing line is a genuine tangle and snag hazard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zippygiz","offers":[{"title":"Orange and Yellow \/ XXL","offer_id":52844122865976,"sku":"1005011971173748-orange-yellow-XXL","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange and Yellow \/ XL","offer_id":52844122898744,"sku":"1005011971173748-orange-yellow-XL","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange and Yellow \/ L","offer_id":52844122931512,"sku":"1005011971173748-orange-yellow-L","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange and Yellow \/ M","offer_id":52844122964280,"sku":"1005011971173748-orange-yellow-M","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange and Yellow \/ S","offer_id":52844122997048,"sku":"1005011971173748-orange-yellow-S","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue and Green \/ XXL","offer_id":52844123029816,"sku":"1005011971173748-blue-green-XXL","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue and Green \/ XL","offer_id":52844123062584,"sku":"1005011971173748-blue-green-XL","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue and Green \/ L","offer_id":52844123095352,"sku":"1005011971173748-blue-green-L","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue and Green \/ M","offer_id":52844123128120,"sku":"1005011971173748-blue-green-M","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0969\/9816\/2744\/files\/S45fa840944eb42f4b798a29d7aa8274aM.webp?v=1787584236","url":"https:\/\/zippygiz.com\/products\/dog-life-jacket-adjustable-swim-vest-for-pool-surf-and-open-water","provider":"Zippygiz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
