Outward Hound Ripstop Life Jacket

Outward Hound Ripstop Life Jacket – Reliable Support for Water Adventures with Your Dog

The Outward Hound Ripstop Life Jacket is a thoughtfully designed flotation aid, perfect for boating, water sports, beach days, pool time, and other water activities with your dog. It features a front neck float that gently supports your dog’s head above water, while top grab handles offer a simple way to assist or retrieve your dog if needed. Adjustable straps ensure a secure and comfortable fit both in and out of the water.

Sizes XS and Small include one top handle, ideal for smaller dogs, while Medium through XL sizes come with dual rescue handles for larger dogs. Because every dog has a unique shape, we recommend measuring your dog’s girth at the widest part of their rib cage and considering any special traits like broad shoulders or a long torso to select the best size.

Who This Is Perfect For

This life jacket is suited for dogs of all shapes and sizes who enjoy water activities, whether they are beginners or experienced swimmers. It supports small dogs with a single top handle and larger dogs with dual handles, making it easier for pet parents to assist their dogs safely. The adjustable design accommodates a variety of body types, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit for your furry companion.

WHAT DO I NEED?

1. Use tailor’s tape (as opposed to a heavy-duty construction tape measure) for your measurements. Tailor’s tape is designed to measure circumferences, which is exactly what you’ll be doing when you measure your pup.
2. Have a notepad handy, too, so you can write down your pup’s measurements and save them for later.
3. Have your pup stand for all the measurements. It usually helps if you have a friend around to hold a treat above your dog’s nose. That way your pup will stand as tall as possible while you measure him.

WHAT EXACTLY AM I MEASURING?

The three common types of measurements are length, neck and girth. The length of your pup is the distance between the base of his neck and the base of his tail. The neck is the circumference of your pup’s neck at its widest point. The girth is the circumference of your pup’s chest. All of these measurements are discussed in detail in the info-graphic below.
