SALE! Float Coat - Premium Dog Life Jacket by Ruffwear

Diggers Float Coat Dog Life Jacket

The service was second to none, I ordered the extra-large. I was contacted by Carolyn to inquire how large Digger was as the extra-large will fit a Great Dane. We ended up purchasing the Large and it fits perfectly. The product quality is a very high quality as I was looking at the BCF vests which weren't the best quality.

Great life jacket - perfect fit

Perfect Fit - we have a small dog who needed the XXS size. We haven't tried it yet, but he looks sooo cute. He was comfortable walking around, so we're sure he will be fine on a boat. Great service too, even after buying we were contacted to make sure we had the correct size.

Just what we needed

Our dog is keen to swim with us. This life jacket helps her get in the right position to swim properly and loose her anxieties. Before she had this, she would make her way to us and cling on for dear life.

5 Tail Wags for the Ruffwear Life Jacket

Super life jacket! Soft, flexible and lovely bright colours. Our water baby loves his life jacket and I feel much safer riding on the JetSki with him knowing he’s safe! As always, Ruffwear delivers!
