Amazon!
Of course! Not taking any chances. She'd never been in water higher than her belly so we had her either in our arms or on the mat at all times. The vest is shark themed :)
Edited to add Amazon link. I am in no way affiliated
I hope this link works! The shark fin is more pronounced when he's in the water...

Not OP but I have this one for my Doge

I don't know whose black lab that is. I just kind of took her to the dog park a bunch of times and she kind off picked it up. It helps that I kind of started her off by getting her a little pug sized life jacket: http://www.amazon.com/Kyjen-Outward-Designer-Jacket-Orange/dp/B003MU9OMU
Also, you gotta get extra small tennis balls because most pugs have small mouths:

We go swimming about nice a week. She loves it! I'll get her to make some YouTube intructional videos.
I got it at petco a few years back. You can find them on Amazon as well. Usually run around $15 - $20.
This has become the highlight of my workweek. Truly. Every Wednesday. Thank you. I mean it.
If I'm lucky enough to ever win a Waldo contest, I'd love to have this for my pup.
You look stunning today, by the way.
We lost him a couple years ago and I'm pretty sure we no longer have the jacket (we donated most of his stuff to a local greyhound rescue). It looked a lot like this Coleman one but I don't think it was an actual Coleman brand...
How about a Hurtta life jacket? A bit pricey but may be worth it by the sound of it. There's also one by Ruffwear but the sizing goes by measurement and not weight, so not sure if it would fit your big guy. I have one for my dog and it makes a big difference in how well she stays upright in the water.
If neither of those work, you could try a Help 'Em Up Harness that would allow you to support him in the water. Bonus of being able to use it to help him up in other contexts too, especially if you're noticing leg weakness.
I’m not personally a dog owner but have seen they sell life vests fir dogs on Amazon, I would also search locally in your area an instructor or dog trainer and ask some questions/advice.
Here is also a link for the vest if interested:
Vivaglory New Sports Style Ripstop Dog Life Jacket with Superior Buoyancy & Rescue Handle, Pink, M https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K4V0CAC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_efPjDbGS9XDMP
this dog life jacket would be great, so we can take our dogs swimming or on the boat! One for each would be ideal but I would be happy with one to be certain of sizing for sure.
You need this
This should be what you're looking for. You can put leash wraps over the straps or sew on some Velcro so you can attach Velcro patches to it. Probably won't be able to find one with service dog on it, so gotta get creative!
Edit: be sure to bring dog shoes too. You may have to evacuate onto the runway or navigate through shrapnel. It could also prevent the possibility of your dog's nails puncturing the life raft. I'd also see if you can find flight attendant training videos so you can figure out a plan for getting your dog down the inflatable slides without getting hurt.
This life vest for my dog would help save me a lot of trouble for when we go kayaking!
He doesn't like being in the water but enjoys being with me and this would ease my mind if he fell in and started freaking out (as he usually does when he hits water)
It's actually a life vest. I wasn't sure if either of the dogs could swim (and Henry is pretty much like a lead weight!) The vest is very secure, though, and you can definitely pick the dogs up with the handle.
I don't think they make my exact one any more (but have one very similar), but it's from a company called ruffware I think this is the updated version
My dog Bella is a miniature Aussie so I got her a small (based on their sizing).
But the reason I got this one over other brands is it has floatation material under her chest/belly where many life jackets for dogs only have floatation on the sides and on the back.
It took some coaching her, going out in the water with her myself, and lots of treats but once she got the hang of it she loved it. It's nice having the handle because you can grab onto it and pick her up if need be.
There are a ton of options though, but I'd highly recommend getting yourself one if she likes the water but won't go out.

The ruffwear life jacket is amazing! Bit more expensive, but you get what you pay for -it's sturdy and gives great support in the water.
There are plenty of spots in Lancaster County Central Park along the Conestoga River or Mill Creek where the water is calm enough and deep enough for your dog to swim. Whenever I am visiting family in Lancaster, I take my dog for a nice walk or hike through the park and let him stop and swim when we find a good spot. There are also plenty of spots where you can wade in and the water gradually gets deeper if he's just learning.
Just find a parking spot and start walking...it's a great park. Enjoy it.
Also, I highly recommend you get a doggy life vest, just in case. I have a lab, and we never take him swimming without it even though he's a strong swimmer. It's better to be safe than sorry. This is the one our dog uses. We've had it for years and it's really high quality.
My dog whines when we leave her in her apartment too and I’m worried about someone complaining to the landlord about us. Has anybody here tried the thundershirt and recommends it?

Op get that pupper a life jacket they are like 25 bucks and it will save its life. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C8H4KMQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_B7dbAbENCEG0E
I have two pit mixes. One is 68 pounds and the other is 75 pounds.
Bought each of them a life jacket from Amazon. It's easy to put on and they both liked them. I think they thought it was a harness. It worked really well for them. I bought size Large for both of them.

I have a dog life jacket I’m willing to give away if you want it 🤗 Had a pool at my last house but the life jacket didn’t make my dog feel any better, so it was only used probably 3 times. It’s this large blue life jacket.
Get life jackets for your pets assholes!

This is the one we have and we love it.

It's pretty good quality and the medium is the perfect size for our 8 month old and has adjustable staps for him to grow into. I also love the handles. I can pull him onto our canoe/boat very easily and it looks comfy.
Things you need to know about your husky:
Your puppy is disgustingly adorable. Seriously one of the cutest little holy terrors I've ever seen (and I say this fondly, because my adorable husky was a monster as a puppy). I hope you form a bond as strong as mine and Keno's, and that you enrich each other's lives!
