Productinformation in detailBuilt for dogs who live for the water – with safety that keeps up
If your dog is all about water – from lakeside splashes to paddleboard sessions – the Ruffwear Float Coat™ is more than gear: it's your safety companion. Designed for comfort, flotation, and control, it’s made for dogs who love to swim and the humans who want peace of mind.
What sets the Float Coat™ apart?
Unlike many generic life vests, the Float Coat™ features a full-body design with well-balanced foam panels, allowing your dog to float naturally – no tipping, no forced posture. The sturdy lift handle, centered along the back, gives you real control in the water, whether you’re helping your pup climb aboard or pulling them from a current.
Ruffwear’s Telescoping™ neck closure ensures a snug, custom fit that doesn’t chafe or slip – even after hours of wear.
Built for comfort – ready for adventure
This vest doesn’t just float – it fits like a second skin. The inner molded foam is soft, lightweight, and supportive, while the rugged 800D nylon shell stands up to brush, saltwater, and sun. Whether your dog is paddling, jumping, or just cooling off, the Float Coat™ moves with them – not against.
Plus, with an integrated light loop, you can easily attach a Ruffwear Beacon™ for nighttime visibility or open water.
Who is it for – and when is it the right choice?
The Float Coat™ is perfect if you:
-
Frequently go boating, SUPing, or swimming with your dog
-
Have a dog still learning to swim confidently
-
Need to help your dog back onto the dock or boat
-
Want extra peace of mind in open water
-
Have a senior or injury-prone dog needing support
Not ideal for: short-legged breeds with front-heavy weight (where a front-float design may work better), or extreme whitewater adventures – in those cases, check out the Ruffwear Confluence™.
Our take – Float Coat™ at campanions
This is a gear essential, not a gimmick. We love the Float Coat™ for its durability, smart details, and genuine usefulness in real-life situations. If you head outdoors with your dog – especially near water – you’ll never regret making this part of your pack.
