Whether you are a paddleboarder or a surfer, a kayaker or a sailor, safety on the water should be a top priority for any water sports enthusiast. Personal flotation devices like the Red Original Airbelt PFD are commonly used to keep people safe. However, we wanted to make sure there was something for our four-legged friends as well.
The Red Original Dog Buoyancy Aid is designed to help dogs maintain a positive and comfortable swimming position. This is accomplished by strategically placed foam of varying thickness that lines the buoyancy aid throughout. This foam supports key areas of a dog's body, allowing them to conserve energy and prolong their life if they get into trouble in the water.
The Red Original Dog Buoyancy Aid was designed by water enthusiasts who are also passionate about animals. It provides support without compromising movement or maneuverability. The wide front leg opening allows for free, unimpeded movement. We used Cordura® fabric throughout to ensure there is enough give. While Cordura® Fabric is indeed flexible, it was chosen because it is also durable, tear-resistant, puncture-resistant, abrasion-resistant and - of course - waterproof.
Our buoyancy aid for dogs is built to last and full of thoughtful features that make it comfortable for both pet owners and the dogs that wear it. A good example of one such feature is the four user-friendly grab handles, which allow carriers to be lifted out of the water quickly and easily in any situation. An integrated dog leash attachment is also included if you want to keep your dog under control around the water, as well as reflective details to help you spot him in low-light conditions in the water.
