Dude looks bigger but, it's all hair, last Friday after grooming

I would like a handle, on top, maybe shark fin? Something to grab quickly if needed


After looking at pictures Dude may be pushing 15lbs :happy

Thanks

We bought some doggie-vests” @ 25 years ago, and used them once or twice.

It turns out that every dog we’ve ever had floated like a cork, and swam like a fish!

We've had great luck with RuffWear float coats on our large and small dogs. We have 3 of them for our 100lb rhodesian ridgebacks (african lion dogs, no fat, not swimmers) and one for our french bulldog (no fat, no fear and t-rex arms). They attach well and have a handle for picking them up out of the water. I forget the price but you can find them online. I believe we got them at REI and used a 20% coupon so they weren't too bad, you get what you pay for though!
