How to Use

Directions for Use

  • Measure the dog first: Use chest girth to select the appropriate Float Coat size.

  • Adjust neck: Slide the telescoping neck closure over your head, then tighten securely.

  • Check flotation: Ensure foam panels support a natural swimming posture.

  • Use rescue handle: Lift the dog from the water using the sturdy, low-profile handle.

Additional Information

Precautions

  • Proper fit only: Select the smaller size between the two sizes for safety.

  • Use with water supervision: Always supervise dogs around water, even with flotation gear.

  • Avoid complete back covering: The Jacket should only cover the rib cage to avoid hind-leg interference.

  • Inspect before use: Check for wear on buckles, straps, and foam.

  • Not a substitute for swimming training: Helps buoyancy but does not teach swimming skills.

Care Instructions

  • Secure all fasteners before washing.

  • Wash in cold water, gentle cycle. 

  • Use mild detergent only.

  • Air dry thoroughly after washing.

  • Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.

  • Natural movement: Strategically placed foam supports a natural swimming posture.

  • Secure fit: Telescoping neck closure and sheltered buckles keep the vest secure without irritants.

  • Visibility in low light: Reflective trim and light loop enhance safety in dim conditions.
