Why a life jacket?

Can't all dogs swim? It's a common myth that all dogs, or a certain breed of dogs, are instinctual swimmers. Some dog breeds have a lower body fat that make it difficult for them to swim, older dogs may tire more easily and quickly, hypothermia can set in, dogs can even be caught in an undertow. It's estimated that 10,000 dogs drown a year in the US. The fact is, no matter what the breed of your dog is, or how good their health is, there are other circumstances that factor in that can affect the safety of your dog. Why take the chance? Dog life jackets are an excellent way to protect your pet! They're inexpensive, they're durable, and they keep your loyal canine safe.
