Ruffwear Confluence™ Life Jacket - Small

No, this is a flotation aid and not a life-saving device. It supports a natural swimming position and buoyancy but does not guarantee a dog will float without assistance or supervision. Always supervise your dog around water.

Measure your dog's girth (the widest part of their rib cage) and refer to the Ruffwear sizing chart provided for the Confluence™ Life Jacket. If your dog is between sizes, it's often recommended to size up for better coverage.

The jacket is designed for comfort during water activities. While it allows for good mobility, it's best to remove it periodically, especially during long land-based activities, to allow the dog's skin to breathe and to prevent excessive wear.

The primary material is durable ballistic polyester, and the flotation panels are made of PVC-free EVA and CLPE foam. While water-compatible and quick-drying, the jacket itself is not designed to be a waterproof barrier.

Ruffwear typically offers a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Ruffwear website or your retailer for specific warranty details.

There is a reinforced webbing loop on the back specifically designed as a leash connection point for everyday walks. The handles are primarily for lifting and assisting your dog.

Ensure all six adjustment points are properly tightened and that the fit is snug around the neck and torso. Re-check the sizing chart to confirm the correct size was selected.

Loosen the straps slightly. Ensure the foam panels are lying flat and not bunching. Check for any potential pinch points under the buckles or straps.

Ensure the webbing is not twisted and that the buckles are aligned properly before attempting to clip. Clean any dirt or debris from the buckle mechanisms.

The reflective accents are designed for low-light conditions. Ensure the lighting is dim enough to see them. For improved visibility, consider attaching The Beacon™ light.
