K9 Pursuits Dog Life Jacket Float Coat - Orange - Large

Measure your dog's chest girth at the widest point, typically behind the front legs. Then, compare this measurement to the product's sizing chart. For this 'Large' vest, it fits dogs with a chest/girth of 68cm-81cm and weighing 25kg-39kg. When in doubt, it's often recommended to size up, as the multiple adjustable straps allow for a secure fit.

No. A life jacket is an aid to buoyancy and safety, but it does not replace supervision. Always supervise your dog closely during water activities, regardless of whether they are wearing a life jacket.

After each use, especially in salt or chlorinated water, rinse the vest thoroughly with fresh water. For dirt or stains, spot clean with mild soap and water. Air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.

The D-ring provides a convenient attachment point for a leash, allowing you to keep your dog securely tethered if needed, for example, when on a boat or near a busy water's edge.

With proper care and maintenance, the reflective accents are designed to last. To ensure longevity, avoid harsh chemicals during cleaning and excessive exposure to direct sunlight when drying or storing.

While the life jacket provides excellent buoyancy, it is designed for general swimming and water recreation. For strong currents or exceptionally turbulent water, extreme caution is advised, and it's best to avoid such conditions altogether, even with a life jacket.

Ensure all adjustable straps are tightened evenly. You should be able to fit two fingers underneath the straps, but no more. If the jacket still seems too large after full adjustment, consider if a smaller size would be more appropriate for your dog's specific build.

Check that the neoprene chest band is not too tight and that no buckles are digging into your dog. The jacket should allow for a full range of motion. Gradually introduce the vest to your dog for short periods before water activities to allow them to get accustomed to wearing it.

Verify that the jacket is the correct size for your dog's weight and chest measurements. An incorrectly sized vest might not provide optimal buoyancy. Ensure all straps are properly secured to prevent the jacket from shifting and hindering movement.

Ensure the buckles are clean and free of debris (sand, dirt, dog hair). Rinse them with fresh water if needed. If they remain stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant designed for plastics can be applied, avoiding contact with the fabric.
