| Princess has a vest, it's bright yellow. When we take the boat out she has to wear it, or stay home. She isn't crazy about it, but she loves to go for rides. I found it at the boat store my husband goes to. Men and their toys!!!! I laughed when I found it, I had no idea they made them that small.

| We have a boat so I bought both of my dogs life vests. I got them at petsmart and they fit perfectly.

| I would be afraid without a life preserver that they wouldnt come up and gett to swim. I have heard of dogs drowning on here and would not want to take the chance.

| You MUST, I repeat Must get a life jacket. They are fairly cheap under $15. We have a boat and though you think they can not fall off or jump off they can. First of all they are so light that if you hit a big wave etc, it could throw them. My little Max jumped into the lake after a goose. So you never know. |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | We have one but it is a little too big and I think I ordered the x-tra small. Poor thing just rolled over on his back with it on.

| I think it would be a good idea to be on the safe side. I do not do the boating thing but we do the swimming pool thing!!! I took Weeg a few times swimming, but i was constantly watching him!!!! SO now I too am going to get a life vest to be safe!!!!

Yea, Princess can swim too. She's out by the pool all summer, but out on the boat its different. You just never know, sometimes the wakes out there can get pretty big. I make her wear her's just to be on the safe side. When you do go out, everyone is going to stop to look at the cute puppy!!! I think my husband was upset a few times when we went out. People used to stop to look at his boat, now they stop to look at his little girl LOL Too Funny!!!
