HI! My boys swim soooo well! We have a pool and in the summer they live in it! When they were like 9 months old I brought them kayaking for a 3 day weekend. I got lifejackets for them and it made MY life easier too. When they did swim I knew they were ok, and when I had to carry them the jackets had handles. When I had to lift them back into the kayak it was easier with those handles. Life jackets, just like for kids, give you peace of mind. I am a big advocate of them. I still use them on my boys when they keep going in the pool and it's been 6+ hours and I know they are tired. I put them on them just to be safe. (they NEVER are around the pool unsupervised though). I'd get life jackets if I were you though, you won't regret it, you'll have them for years just in case and you'll have good peace of mind if they have them on. Have fun!!! :) |
Sounds like a great time, enjoy. |
I also agree get the life jacket for your little guy. Sophie Kate has a fabulous little pink one she wears and it makes the whole experience more enjoyable for me not to worry about her. |

You'll definitely need doggie sunscreen, a gulpy water bottle (or the like), and if you think a life jacket is necessary. Avery got totally annoyed with his, it kind of restricted his movement, but other dogs just ignore them. You'll have a wonderful time and so will your pup! |
thanks for all the help guys!! we got him a life jacket he was soo cute and did well water was a little cold but he was fine!! great weekend thank you gals hope urs was just as great with ur little babies!! |

How fun! We have let Katie Scarlett swim once and she was a natural. We want to get into canoeing too, but I will for sure get her a life jacket. I know she can swim, but I would hate for something to happen and she be in the water and get tired and unable to swim any farther. Y'all have a wonderful time! |
sounds like such fun! have fun |
I believe a life jacket is in order for any dog out on a lake. If your dog can swim a ways and your not far from the shore no big deal but if there were a fire or an accident out further on a lake you would want you little one ready to be able to fend for him or herself out in the deep water. Hope everyone is safe and had a great time! |
My Yorkie LOVES going on the boat with us. He is completely used to the life jacket now but didn't like it so much at first. Have fun! |

He looks like he is definitely ready for some serious swimming!!! A true cutie! |
