Frequently asked questions

check_box

1. Is the chin float comfortable for small dogs?

Yes. The chin float sits under the jaw without pressing on the throat, so he can pant, bark and drink normally. On smaller breeds it does most of the work — their heads are heavy relative to their bodies, which is exactly why their noses drop first when they get tired.

2. How do I know which size to pick?

Measure his chest girth — the widest part of the ribcage, just behind the front legs. That number decides the size, not his weight: two dogs of the same weight can be 2 inches apart at the chest. Full chart in the size guide above. Between two sizes, go up.

3. Which breeds is it recommended for?

Any breed that swims — but it matters most for short-nosed dogs (Bulldogs, Pugs, Boxers), short-legged breeds (Dachshunds, Corgis), heavy-chested dogs, puppies, seniors, and any dog recovering from surgery. Strong swimmers like Labradors still benefit on long sessions, boats and open water.
