Whether you're boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, camping by the lake, or spending the day at the beach, the Valterra Dog Life Vest helps keep your canine companion safe and comfortable in and around the water.
Designed with buoyant flotation panels, adjustable straps, and a sturdy emergency rescue handle, this dog life jacket provides confidence when your dog is swimming or enjoying time aboard your boat. Bright red fabric and reflective accents improve visibility in low-light or foggy conditions, while the breathable mesh lining helps your dog dry quickly after every swim.
Your dog deserves to stay comfortable while staying safe. Thick padding underneath the vest helps prevent rubbing, while adjustable straps create a snug fit without restricting movement. The breathable mesh interior promotes faster drying after swimming, making it ideal for repeated use throughout the day.
The reinforced grab handle allows you to quickly lift your dog from the water if assistance is needed. For added safety, reflective trim increases visibility during early morning, evening, or overcast conditions.
Note: The rescue handle is intended for emergency lifting only.
For the best fit, measure your dog's girth (the widest part of the rib cage) and compare it with the sizing chart. Girth is the most important measurement.
If your dog falls between sizes, choose the next size up for the best combination of comfort and flotation.
