Protector Dog Life Jacket (PFD)

The Protector Life Jacket for dogs by Non-stop Dogwear is designed with substantial flexibility, buoyancy, breathability, and durability for active swimmers and sunbathing dogs alike. This dog floatation device is built for heavy use--including for frequent retrievals from open water into watercraft.

The Protector Life Jacket's key features are:

• Unique SAFE-R buoyancy construction: The construction ensures that your dog is kept afloat and stable relative to the waterline. The foam is placed on the side for increased buoyancy and freedom of movement. The panels are split into sections to allow your dog to turn without being restricted by the vest.
• Breathability: On the dog’s back, we have used our highly breathable HexiVent material. Water can flow through, and the ventilated top can help prevent your dog from overheating.
• Ergonomic design: In addition to the split side panels, the shape of the vest allows your dog’s front legs to move freely. As a consequence, your dog is able to move more efficiently in and out of the water. 

This design provides your dog with a superior buoyancy, stability and freedom of movement not previously available within the dog products market.

The system has been thoroughly tested in open water, pools and on water treadmills with several different dogs. Human life jackets are tested using an ISO-standard, but this has not yet been applied to life jackets for dogs.

The life jacket is equipped with a sturdy handle in case you need to lift your dog up on your paddleboard, the dock or in the boat.

By combining the SAFE-T wrap system and the wide chest straps, the pressure is evenly distributed making the vest comfortable and safe for your dog. A reflective stripe on the top of the handle provides extra visibility in the dark. The Protector life jacket is bright orange so that it is easier to spot your dog in the water.

In addition to one leash attachment point on the back, there are two attachment points on the side of the life jacket allowing you to adjust direction and resistance (orange version only). This feature is particularly useful for rehabilitation purposes on a water treadmill or in a swimming pool. Small items can be stored in the back pocket.
