The K-9 Float Coat by Ruffwear is a premium life jacket designed for dogs that love to SUP, surf, kayak, raft or boat. It is the ultimate in canine floation and water safety with great details such as a strong, centrally placed handle on the back that allows you to help your pup out of the water and reflective trim that gives enhanced visibility.
Sizing
The K-9 Float Coat is available in 6 sizes - to choose the best size, measure around your dog's girth/chest.
If your dog is in-between sizes or a unique shape, you can also consider the neck size (around the neck) and the coat length (from the base of the neck towards the tail). Note: the dog coat should only cover the ribcage and not go the full length of the body - otherwise it can interfere with the rear legs in swimming.

How to Measure Your Dog's Girth
Here are what a couple of our customers say about the K-9 Float Coat:
'We're so proud of Marley and her new jacket. She is now my paddle board buddy (and everyone else's…she will hijack a board on approach!). It's wonderful to see her happy again after we lost our old girl of 14 years (her best friend). I especially love the hand on the back of the K-9 Float Coat". Mel
"Best day ever trailing out my new jacket. I have never swum so confidently - mum and dad were very impressed! Swam out to Dad about 30-40m offshore to get my ball and then back again - all by myself!" (Sprocket says he's feeling awesome!)
Washing Instructions
Secure fasteners. Hand wash with mild detergent. Air dry.
I have a French bulldog and she loves the jacket as it keeps her chest high up in the water.
I recommend this jacket to other people who have small dogs

K9 Float Coat
I thought my dog might have issues wearing the coat as he normally doesn't like anything around him, but he was quite comfortable and seemed to enjoy not having to paddle so hard... great buy!

K-9 Float Coat
Excellent float coat.my dog is 45kgs & this float coat handled her weight with ease in the pool..Also have to mention excellent customer service received!!
the only harness that pooches loves and walks well in without pulling. Very durable also as he like to walk himself and chew the lead sometimes. Will be repeat buyer of this harness set if required.
Great Harnes. we have a beautiful but crazy Whippet puppy that got out of his last Different brand Harness. BUT NOT OUT OF THIS ONE!! It is also a perfect fit and comfortable for him, has made our walks together so more enjoyable.
I got the L/XL for my 3 month old Irish Wolfhound pup. Fits well and looks great with plenty of adjusting range for his continued growth. Will be interestIng to see if it adjusts big enough for when he is full grown. I hope so because it’s a great harness!
