Oceangirl Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I have been looking at getting a lifejacket for my boy for sometime, We love going down to the beach and also to visit some lakes at nearby parks. He is getting bolder in terms of goiong close to the water. to the point that he actually went for a swim the other daY. Got me thinking thst a lifejacket might be useful. Has anyone got asvise/ info/ thoughts regarding lifejackets? Any info and feedback would be greatky appreciated, Cheers, Sami's mum :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boronia Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I bought three from this ebay store, the seller was excellent and answered all my questions, the life jackets were also a pretty good price. http://stores.ebay.com.au/funkyvillagepets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polgara's Shadow Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Vulcan has a ruff wear life jacket. Its not the cheapest option, but really sturdy and goes all the way under his belly supporting him while in the water and it also has a handle on the top for emergenccy grabs. I think its great and so does Vulcan. Edited February 3, 2012 by Polgara's Shadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korbin13 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I have the Ruff wear portage float coat. It's cheaper than the big eddy, I guess it depends on what you want it to do, we use it as a confidence booster. http://www.ruffwear.com/Portage-Float-Coat?sc=2&category=694 It's great and she won't get in the pool without it.

Pretty Miss Emma Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Emma used to wear a riff wear portage. It was excellent, good support. Without it her head just bobbed above the water, with she sat nice and high and I didn't need to worry she was going to drown! Oh and she was able to move well with it on both in water and on land.

dotdashdot Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I have an EzyDog one for my girl, price wise seems to be similar to the one mentioned above (I paid about $50 for medium one, thats including my work discount though) It also has a "grab" strap and bouyancy floats around the neck area. I haven't actually had a chance to use it in the river yet seeing as the Bellinger is flooding at the moment (again...sigh) and who know's what is in there at the moment! I have popped it on her for a few walks on the beach though, and she moves normally, including zoomies. It has a little pocket near the back too =] http://store.ezydog.com/categories/FLOTATION-VESTS/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 We stock the Ruffwear life jackets, IMO they are the best quality on the market. http://www.k9pro.com.au/categories/Ruff-Wear/Dog-Life-Jackets/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Both mine have Ezydog life jackets. Very happy with them & the grab handle comes in very handy. We use them alot when camping as the waterways are very busy, boat wise & the current is extremely strong. Not to badly priced & well made.
