Dog Life Jackets: Because Chaos Loves Water
So, my dog thinks he’s Michael Phelps but with more fur and zero self-preservation. If you’ve ever watched your pup cannonball into a lake, you know the anxiety. Here’s the deal: even if your dog swims like a champ, a life jacket is non-negotiable. Flat-faced breeds? They basically sink. Puppies? Panic paddlers. And don’t get me started on the drama of pulling a wet, wriggling dog back onto a kayak.
Pro tip: measure your dog’s chest, neck, and length—don’t just guess. If the jacket fits like a sausage casing or a tent, it’s useless. Go for bright colors and reflective strips so you can spot your four-legged maniac at dusk. Handles are a must for emergency dog-fishing. And yes, supervision is still required, because dogs are creative in all the wrong ways.
Water adventures are fun, but only if everyone gets home safe (and dry-ish).
