I take my dog kayaking with me, as long as there is open water. The main reason I would get one of these is to keep him warm. I also like it, just in case, peace of mind.

Pros: warm, keeps me from worrying

Cons: none

has handles in case you need to pull the dog out of the water and is a great floatation device

Pros: works great

Cons: none

My dogs get to go jet skying with us on our seadoos and they must wear there life jackets so if something happens they are safe

Pros: Help dogs swim

Cons: none

why would you not want this for your geriatric dog who still enjoys swimming?? It's a must!

Pros: great for extra safety

Cons: N/A

this is a little big but a great idea if you are unsure of your gods swimming ability
