Dog Life Jackets-Treat Your Dog Right

Article Title: Dog Life Jackets-Treat Your Dog Right
Author: Karen McLean

Does your dog go just about everywhere with you? Do you share
your adventures with your dog? Is your dog your sailing
partner? If so, make sure to keep your dog safe in and around
the water with a dog life jacket.

While there are no regulations regarding dog life jackets,
wouldn't you feel better knowing your best canine friend was as
protected in his dog life jacket as you are in your life jacket?

A dog life jacket is the perfect solution for the dog owner
that has a pool, lives near the water or just visits the lake
or the beach. A dog life jacket is easily visible, has high
buoyancy and is designed to hold your dog's head higher in the
water thus making it easier for him to breathe and giving him
more stamina. A dog life jacket keeps him safe in cold, choppy
waters or fast currents. Swimming is tiring work even for a
dog, so make sure they wear a dog life jacket.

Water therapy is a great way to exercise every part of your
dog, especially if he has been injured. Deeper water therapy
combined with a dog life jacket can help your dog regain his
strength through exercising which will help your dog return as
closely as possible to pre-trauma activity level. Water therapy
is also a great way for overweight dogs to lose weight. Working
out in deeper water with a dog life jacket is a less stressful
way to exercise your dog and helps them to lose those unhealthy
pounds.

So go ahead and take your dog to the lake or beach. Let him
swim along side of you, but let him swim safely with a dog life
jacket. Always remember the rules of water safety apply not only
to you but to your dog. Dog life jackets save dogs' lives.
