The Ruffwear Float Coat is widely considered the “gold standard” of dog life jackets. Its designed for high-performance water activities like kayaking, surfing, and boat safety. Unlike budget vests that just provide “some” lift, the Float Coat is built to support a dogs natural swimming position without restricting their movement.
Strong Grab Handle: A low-profile, reinforced handle on the back makes it easy to hoist your dog out of the water and back onto a boat or paddleboard.
Optimal Buoyancy: Strategically placed foam panels (PVC-free Gaia foam) help keep your dog in a level, natural swimming horizontal posture.
Telescoping Neck Closure: Adjustable and permanently attached, it fits a wide range of neck sizes and won’t slip off.
Durability: Made from 800-denier ballistic polyester, its resistant to snags and tears from docks or branches.
Safety Details: Includes reflective trim for low-light visibility and a dedicated light loop for attaching a waterproof beacon.
Ruffwear sizes are based on the girth (the widest part of your dog’s rib cage). If your dog is between sizes, Ruffwear typically recommends choosing the smaller size for the Float Coat to ensure a snug, secure fit.
