Outward Hound Ripstop Life Jacket

The Outward Hound Ripstop Dog Life Jacket is a high-performance dog flotation device for boating, water sports, the beach, the pool, and other water adventures with dogs. A front neck float adds extra support to help them keep their head above water. Top grab handles provide an easy way to retrieve your dog in an emergency. Adjustable straps keep them secure both in and out of water.

For small dogs, sizes XS and small come with one top handle, and for larger dogs, sizes medium - XL come with dual rescue handles. Since dogs come in various shapes and sizes, please select the appropriate dog life jacket size after taking your dog's girth measurement along the widest part of your dog's rib cage. Make sure to take any other unique traits (i.e., large shoulders, long torso) into consideration. 

More Info

Features:

• Sizing based on girth: Dogs come in all shapes and sizes. Whether your dog is short and stout or long and lanky, there's a dog life jacket fit for them. Available in sizes XS-XL and featuring adjustable straps, we've made it easy for you to choose a size that supports them based on their girth measurement. We recommend sizing up if the dog's girth size is on the higher end of this size.
• Splash with safety: The Outward Hound Ripstop Splash life jacket for dogs is designed with bright colours and reflective accents to provide better visibility while swimming. A front neck float helps keep your dog's head above water whether they are a novice or experienced swimmer.
• Novice & experienced swimmer-friendly: The Ripstop Splash dog life jacket is constructed with ripstop material that provides maximum buoyancy in the water without restricting movement on land. Adjustable straps and side release buckles provide a secure fit and neoprene belly band supports their chest and belly while getting their float on!
• Rescue handle design: A single or dual top grab handle makes it easy to restrain and lift your dog out of the water and provides easy access for a rescue should they get into trouble while swimming.
• Play it safe: No pet accessory is indestructible. Do not leave with unsupervised pets. Remove and replace if damaged.

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.
