I like that it's bright and therefore will be easily seen and it will keep her above water without inhibiting her movements. Haven't tried it yet, but will let you know if Piper changes her opinion after swimming with vest on. |
I find a vest gives a lot of dogs confidence! Many don't like when their head goes under and the vest provides extra support that makes them feel more at ease.
