Description
Ruffwear Float Coat for maximum safety
Safe on water with Ruffwear’s Float Coat™, the life jacket for dogs. You want your dog’s company not only on land but also in the water? Then the dog should be as safe as its owner while rafting, kayaking, sailing or touring on a boat. In order to guarantee this safety, Ruffwear has developed the Float Coat™. Ruffwear’s dog life jacket for dogs was carefully manufactured to ensure comfortable wear as well as maximum safety: the buoyancy of the floats that are worked into the jacket make sure that the dog stays safely above water, the fixing with buckles and the good fit of the life vest don’t constrain the dog’s movements.
Dog life jacket in bright colors
The
dog life jacket is available in various sizes from XXS to XL. Red, blue and orange as signal colours are well visible even from far. It’s a fact: every dog can swim, but only shorter distances otherwise he becomes quickly tired. Without help he can also not get back into the boat or onto a landing, hence the practical handle on the vest helps a person to simply lift him up. Even in the case of an accident, your dog is optimally secured with the Float Coat™ life jacket. With this product, nothing stands between you and your dog’s fun on the water.

The life jacket is functional and fits well. The dog likes to go into the water and his owner is reassured that nothing can happen, especially if the water is deeper. (Posted on 11/28/2018)

The vest fits our 15-year-old Parson Jack Russel as if made to measure. Also in the water the vest shows up as 100% profit. I can only recommend it. The gain in safety without sacrificing movement and fun is unique. (Posted on 7/28/2018)

Very good quality, feels as good as our whitewater kayak life jackets, only the adjustable buckle on the neck part is not ideal, because it cannot be opened and therefore has to be adjusted for each on and off. A clip would be more practical here.
For our Chihuahua (3 kg) the fit is perfect. (Posted on 7/3/2018)

The life jacket not only looks great but is also very functional! My dog loves to wear the vest and it gives him a lot of safety in the water! The handle on top is great for lifting the dog onto the stand-up paddle or simply to support him. Dog and owner are super happy! (Posted on 6/11/2018)

The Ruffwear life jacket is easy to put on and has a good workmanship. The fit is not 100% correct in the trunk area of my dog, i.e. in the back area the lifejacket points slightly upwards, although it is adjusted as tightly as possible. That did not affect my "water pig" in any way. The handle on the back is great and stable. Price could be a little cheaper. (Posted on 5/8/2018)

Purchased for our old Labrador to support the back. Size decision was difficult because with 81cm chest circumference at the boundary between 2 sizes. Were very well advised and have finally taken size L. The vest supports him really well and gives him the old happiness when swimming again. (Posted on 9/18/2017)

Great product, bought the vest for our Malinois male. It fits perfectly in size dimensions. He didn't dare to swim. The vest gave him security and he got the necessary calmness to move in the water with smooth motions. After a few days of practice, he can now swim safely without a vest. (Posted on 8/9/2017)

Aaaawesome. Our dog could not swim so far (unusual for a Weimaraner) and thanks to this vest, we finally made it.
The vest fits (in M for a full-grown male) like a glove. And the best thing is, he doesn't see it as a foreign matter. With most things he wears (when he wears them) he starts tearing and chewing because it doesn't seem to belong there. Not this vest, tried on once and accepted immediately. It also depends a lot on the workmanship, because the buckles are partly covered and nothing sticks out.
And once again great praise to the shop. Great advice and that in today's time. THANKS!

A really first-class life jacket.
My dog finally learned to swim after 6 years. She paddled not enough and panicked. Thanks to the vest, she now swims with joy and without fear.
The vest is a great help especially for unsafe dogs, or those like mine who don't paddle enough themselves. The price is a little high, but I am glad to have made the step. Wouldn't have believed she was learning to swim anymore. (Posted on 7/31/2016)

Hello, functionality not tested yet (that's why we assume a 4 star rating) - but it fits like a glove, despite its unusual "dog design" - Although the dog weighs exactly 20 kgs, we chose the " L" because of its length and the nice advice - and it was just right. (Posted on 3/20/2016)

I bought the vest because I hoped it wouldn't turn my Emil more on its back while swimming. Unfortunately, I thought wrong. The "entry" into the vest is very tight, and the locking of the abdominal belts does not really hold. (Posted on 7/26/2015)

Hello,
I bought the vest in "M" for our 11 month old Beauceron girl (27,5 kg).
Purpose: Canoe tours on large lakes.
The workmanship and material make a very good impression. Fits perfectly! Still enough reserve for the next 3-5 kg weight increase. The "water test" is still to come. But I'm very confident about that. (Posted on 6/11/2015)
