If your dog loves to swim, chase waves, or tag along for a paddle in the canoe, a reliable life jacket is a must. Even the most confident swimmers can run into trouble in unpredictable waters, especially in Canada, where bodies of water can surprise you with strong currents and sudden weather changes. A well-fitting life vest can add an extra layer of protection, so you can focus on the fun without worrying about your pup's safety.
These days, pet-friendly life vests can do more than just keep your pet afloat. They’re designed to make life easier for both dogs and their humans, with sturdy handles to help lift your pup out of the water, reflective details to make them easier to spot, and quick-drying materials, because a wet dog is more than enough mess to deal with after a day on the water. Whether you're heading out for a boat cruise or playing fetch off the dock, there are plenty of great options to keep your four-legged sidekick safe and comfortable.
