Get A Dog Life Vest For Your Pet
Most pet owners are very aware of their own safety precautions when boating or swimming in a body of water. However, very few owners ever think about the same safety for their pets, especially dogs (as cats seem to have a natural aversion to water). Did you know you can get a dog life vest for your pet? Boaters and other water sports enthusiasts can protect their canine with the same safety device as they might themselves wear when adventuring in or near water. Veterinarians even recommend life vests for your dog.
Surprisingly, dogs can drown despite the fact that they are commonly known to dog paddle, however circumstances can dictate that their swimming abilities are not enough to keep them afloat until help comes. At Dr.’s Foster and Smith there are life vests for dogs from the tiny size of 10″ to 14″ up to XX Large which is 37″ to 47″. These are the dogs’ girth measurements. They are called Fido Float life vests and cost $12 to $30 on sale or $8 to $15 more at regular price and they are worth every penny. To measure the girth of a dog, measure with a tape measure around his chest right behind his front legs. Hold the tape measure firmly, but not pinching in any way. The life vests adjust some but you will still want to consider the size your dog might be as he gains and loses weight when you select the size of his vest. Life vests for dogs are contoured for a snug fit that the dog will not slide or wiggle out of, no matter how active the dog might be. The life vests are brightly colored in orange, yellow and other bright colors so you can more easily spot your pet if he manages to get some distance from you.
