Mermaid Shark Dog Life Jacket – Adorable Pet Flotation Vest

2

Are you ready, Spike? I’m taking you out kayaking on the river today. Just in case you decide to go for a swim, I’m putting on your mermaid shark dog life jacket. Plus, you can scare the swimmers with your super cool shark fin! I think we’re going to have so much fun today! So, how much is a dog life jacket?

The cost of a dog life jacket ranges from about $12 to $100. This variation depends first on the size of your dog. Larger dogs need a bigger jacket, requiring more material and adding to cost. The second factor is the design, both aesthetic and functionally. More expensive vests will float longer.

Keep your pup safe and stylish out on the water with the help of a mermaid shark dog life jacket!

This adorable dog life jacket features a built-in shark fin and mermaid scale pattern. Your dog will look like the terror of the deep, but will also be easy to spot! Not only does the fin add to visibility, but the scale pattern is reflective as well. Why is that important? A dog life jacket is always most crucial in case of emergencies.

It doesn’t matter if your pet is used to water, or a good swimmer on their own. Whether it’s unusually rough and choppy waters, a capsized boat, or a farther swim than you anticipated, a life jacket may save your pet’s life. This fully waterproof life vest secures with two buckles under the belly and one across the chest. It’s easy to take on and off, but also creates a strong connection. The foam will keep the dog floating until you’re able to rescue them.

A built-in safety rescue handle on the top makes retrieval from the water simple. Just hoist your dog up by the handle to get them back on board. Out of the water, a leash clip allows you to walk your pet safely without having to remove the life vest. No more messing around with an additional collar or a switchover! Plus, since the vest is reflective, it’s a safety harness as well, perfect for visibility walking at dusk.

How do I measure my dog for a life jacket?

Measuring a dog for a life jacket requires you to take three measurements. The first is neck girth, which is the distance around the neck where a collar would lay. The second is back length, from shoulder to base of tail. The last is chest girth, measured around the body just behind the front legs.

While many manufacturers offer a poundage recommendation, it’s always best to measure. Dog breeds come in many shapes and sizes, so one 20-lb dog is not the same as the next. As with any clothing, sizing always differs from one manufacturer to another, so don’t assume your dog will take the same size if you’re getting a new one. Most dog life jackets do offer some amount of adjustability, to make sure you get a perfect fit for your dog.
