A reader's dog in her Ruffwear Float Coat

We got this post from a reader in response to our March issue
I loved the Essentials dog gear (”Swag the Dog”) in the March issue. One item overlooked is the Float Coat by Ruffwear. This is a doggie life jacket with both safety and function in mind—perfect for that water loving pooch who can’t resist bailing out of the canoe. The coat fits like a harness, providing flotation, and has a handle on the back of the jacket just right for hauling the wet one back aboard. My aussie mix, Riley, developed a whole new attitude toward water while wearing hers.

    I have a Ruff Wear Float Coat for my Jack Russell. It turned him into a real water dog! It’s a great item that has held up very well. I recommend it highly!

  2. Hi Jaime,

    I’m with Ruff Wear and just saw your comment about an older float coat we sell. First, thanks so much for your note about water safety – that’s a top priority for us as we just launched two new canine life jackets. The Big Eddy Float Coat and the Portage Float Coat. Please check them out online! Thanks for the kind words. http://www.ruffwear.com/dog_life_jackets
