We just bought lifejackets for both of ours from Petco. Doodlebug is about 4lbs. and I got him XS but they also had XXS too. They are adjustable so I would think that either the XS or XXS would work for Jax. |
http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/my-...water-dog.html Here is a link to my post about our 9 day trip with Hot Rod. He did wonderfully! We kept him on the pad because we knew we'd be boating with him so he goes both on shore and the pad. We anchor out quite a bit so we wanted to make sure that he could go when he needed to. We got our life vests at Petco. Sizes xxs and tiny. Hot Rod loves the water and will even jump in himself off of the raft we have for him (while we are with him in the water). We also put him in the water without his jacket to make sure that he knew what to do if he should ever fall in without his jacket on. Our little girl had her first weekend on the boat the very first weekend we got her. We were in a marina so we knew she would be okay. Good luck and feel free to ask me anything about our adventures on the boat with them. |
I would definitely recommend wetting your baby down quite a bit if it is hot. I also have a cool pad for him to lay on. You could also use a cool wet towel for that. We either dunk him in the water or I wet him down in the sink. But be sure to watch for signs of getting too warm, it can happen very quickly. I take my snoozer car seat on the boat so he is able to look out when we are underway to combat sea sickness. Fortunately he has not had any issues with that. Maggie did get sea sick on our return trip home-it was a little rough. The 2nd weekend out with her she was much better. |
Helpppppppppppp! I have a 2lb. Yorkie. We go out on the boat every week. I really don't want to leave her alone at my house for 9 hours by herself since she is only 8 weeks old. I have no one to watch her. Do you think it would be a bad choice to take her out with us? We do have a shaded area for her to be... but no ac. Any suggestions? :aimeeyork Daisy! |
I use sunscreen made for humans of both of my dogs. I just try and find one that is made for sensitive skin or kids. I have found it to work well. I even put it on them if they are just out playing in the yard on a sunny day. |
Also have lots of water for her. I take my 3 on the boat everytime we go out and we also don't have ac but we too have shade. We go from early am till dusk. But at first I would do a small trip to see how it goes. Now every time they see their life vests they go crazy..love the boat!! |
