Confluence™ Dog Life Jacket

Needed life vest

I really like this slim down version of a life vest for my big dog!! So much better for full front reach when swimming. I gave it 4 stars only because Ruff Wear doesn’t make them big enough for my dog so I always have to go to a seamstress to add on length. I wish Ruff wear would sell extenders to their XL products! I have been asking for years!!

Great fit, easy adjustment

I’m very happy with this life jacket. The options for adjusting the fit made it easy to ensure the jacket stays on but is comfortable and allows him to move easily.

Comfort, Style, & Functionality

After hanging out with a new dog friendly hiking group, they convinced me to try kayaking with my dog, Teddy. It's an activity they frequently do and so I bought all the gear- which included the best life vest for Ted. He's never swam before and not super fond of water but I know if (more likely when) he jumps out, he's going to be safe. I love that this fits like a harness (seems more comfortable) and is a lower profile compared to others I've seen. I also love the bright orange so that he can always be easily spotted should anything happen- Plus it has a spot for his Ruffwear safety light! The handle has already come in handy and I know it'll be a life saver getting him back in the kayak at some point. We've already got compliments on his vest and people are wondering where we got it- and I make sure to tell them! PS- for what it's worth, we did a lot of desensitization training prior to his first kayak outing. 😁
