 Gain
the peace of mind of knowing that you've taken every reasonable
precaution to protect your dog against the obvious risks associated with
water-based activities.
Increase the chances of your dog (or cat)
surviving by using a life jacket.
Whilst most dogs are at least reasonably
strong swimmers, there are innumerable reasons why the dog may need
further help to survive. What led to the dog being in the water? If he
was knocked in, or perhaps rough seas threw him in, then your dog may be
injured or in shock. Either of these reasons can hugely compromise the
dog's ability to swim effectively. Also, the cold temperatures of the
UK's waters will quickly erode the dog's energy levels - particularly in
relation to older dogs - leaving him exposed to the merciless sea.
In a crisis, besides adding to your dog's
buoyancy the life jacket will also dramatically increase heat-retention;
together these two factors may substantially increase the time available
to effect a rescue. The life jacket's integral grab handle will make
your dog an easier target for securing by hand or boathook whilst, if
the calamity happens at night, the luminescent quality of the jacket
will enable your dog to be more easily spotted in the dark, heaving
seas.
Perhaps the other most obvious benefit of
a life jacket is for those dogs which are using hydrotherapy - or other
water-based treatment - as an aid to recovery. A jacket maximises the
benefit of such treatment to the dog.
Be prepared for the unexpected - buy your
dog a life jacket now!
Or you can hope the worst won't
happen...

Hi Ian,
Received life jackets, thank you.
I was thrilled with them. I had
purchased 2 last Thursday from ********* (our asterisks,
don't want to offend anybody!) but when I saw yours for sale
they looked so much better quality. Hence, I returned *********
ones when I received yours. Yours were far better quality than I
had seen anywhere.
I liked the fact that I had the option
to exchange them should they not fit. You were very helpful and
although the sizing was a difficult choice it was put in such a
way that I found it very, very useful. Congratulations on your
sizing list. It must have taken hours to figure out but it's so
accurate. (If the jacket's too long on the back your pooch can't
sit down properly.) Not only quality jackets but brilliant
service from you.
The jackets are just quality through
and through. They are even good for these dark wet nights so our
pooches are seen in the dark and also insulated from the cold! I
took them out tonight in them and they look great. You sure
could see them in the dark. They look so trendy.
I'm a very satisfied customer...
although Molly dog is not impressed with hers she's got no
choice, she's wearing it in the house for a few minutes at a
time to get her used to it. She will get used to it cos it's so
light. And Ellie pup loves hers.
They are fabulous.
We are just starting to go canoeing so
I know they will be safe and warm. They are our children to my
husband and me so I want the best, and I got it. Thanks to you.
