[Rhodes22-list] Dog Life Jackets.DANGER

[Lowe, Rob]

Elle,
Thanks for the warning.  It's certainly a consideration.  Our jackets are intended to float them until we can retrieve them, which hopefully would not be a long time.  I've been looking at underdog vests, which is along the lines of what your vet suggests.  Pricier, but probably worth it.  thanks - rob

Guys,

Got this from my vet:

Please when you get a life jacket for your dog get one that will support his head from UNDER the head. Dogs can paddle for quite a while but they become fatigued holding their heads up and drown when they can no longer do so.

Not something we necessarily think about.
