Product Description

Description

The Fido Float® is the perfect way to enjoy a day at the beach or lake without worrying about your dog’s safety. This buoyant red vest will help keep your dog afloat. The contoured fit helps prevent dogs from twisting, stepping, or swimming out of the vest. Two handles, at the neck and at the tail, make it easier to lift any size dog out of the water. The U-shaped buoyancy collar sits a little lower on the vest, providing support and comfort for your dog’s neck and head and ensuring that your dog’s face stays above the water. The float uses three layers of closed-cell foam – the same material used in life vests for humans.

Key Features

  • Front and back handles for easy lifting
  • Two adjustable web straps with buckles for a snug, comfortable fit
  • Comfort mesh fabric on chest/belly helps dog dry faster and stay cooler
  • Collar-to-tail zippered opening makes the vest easy to put on and take off
  • Buoyancy collar helps hold dog’s head above the water for added safety
  • Bright nautical red ensures visibility on and off shore
  • To clean vest: warm wash, gentle cycle, hang dry

Testimonials

My family just loves the Fido Floats. We no longer have to worry about our two water loving dogs when they want to spend all day swimming with us! Thanks for a wonderful product!
- Laura G.

I just wanted to take a moment to comment on your Fido Float life vests. I recently purchased one for my dog and it fits perfectly. It doesn't seem to hinder his movement in any way. When I first put it on him, everyone joked about the handle. We saw the point, but it just seemed funny. However, within a very short amount of time we realized just how useful it was. There are countless hazards on deck for a little dog, and we lost count of how many times he was pulled out of harm's way or grabbed while sliding on a slippery surface. Thank you for an excellent product.

I just purchased the Fido Float. I (and my dog) love it! Great product, doesn't shift, or bind, fits well and love those handles!
- Kerri

"My dachshund, Adele, is an avid swimmer. The Fido Float fits her perfectly! I feel so much safer letting her swim with her Float. Thanks for an awesome product!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you fasten the Fido Float to ensure a snug fit?
The Fido Float follows the contours of your dog preventing him from twisting, stepping or swimming out of the vest. Also features adjustable straps to fit comfortably to your dog’s girth.

Is there a weight limitation to the Fido Float?
No, there is not a weight restriction based on the size of the Fido Float. The vest features three layers of closed-cell foam ensuring buoyancy. If it fits, it floats!

Will your Float keep my dog’s head out of the water?
The Fido Float features a u-shaped buoyancy collar that sits a little lower on the vest, providing support and comfort for the dog’s neck and head. The design of the buoyancy collar ensures that the dog’s face stays above the water.

Is the Fido Float Coast Guard approved?
We did not seek Coast Guard approval, but we use three layers of closed-cell foam – the same material that is used in personal floatation devices for humans.

Can the Fido Float be washed?
Yes. For best results, we recommend washing it in warm water and line-drying.

  1. Basset Hound Life Jacket

    Posted by Nicci on 7th Jan 2014

    My 8 month old basset hound loves the water but does not swim so well... the life jacket was perfect... a little difficult to get on at first but well worth it.

    The only complaint that I might have is that I followed the measuring instructions perfectly and her chest was 21" which is supposed to fit in a small... so maybe it's just the way that bassets are built, but she definitely needed a medium, so if you own a basset keep that in mind!


  2. Perfect for my mini poodle

    Posted by mermaiden on 7th Jan 2014

    I bought this for my mini poodle, as she has bad swimming back legs. She just swims with her front legs and is vertical in the water. This style of life jacket is well suited for my dog to swim in the pool.

    I have another float for my other dog, and it's so bulky underneath the body that it makes it harder for her to move her legs to swim.

    This one has a mesh netting underneath that keeps the float on, and it's not in the way. The foam is lighterweight, and makes for an overall sleeker look, with less drag i think. I'm taking this one over the other ones that look more like body armor!
