Dog Paddler foam dog life jackets are made from the same premium materials used in Bluestorm Gear’s U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets for humans. Though our dog life vests are not U.S. Coast Guard approved, why wouldn’t you want your canine pal’s PFD to consist of the same quality materials you have in your life jacket? An added bonus is putting your dog in one of these precision-made products will also lead to slower degradation than most other foam dog life vests manufactured by competitors.
