Float Doggy™
Description
Float Doggy uses a patented combination of structural design and materials to provide a secure, ergonomic, comfortable fit and balanced flotation. We collaborated with experts in buoyancy, canine anatomy and bio-mechanics to build the Float Doggy.
Inspired by our own kayaking and wake boarding vests, Float Doggy is created in collaboration with experts in buoyancy and canine anatomy and biomechanics.

We Resolved Two Issues with Dog Life Jackets
Enclosed The Harness Between The Front Legs
- Conventional jackets are open between the front legs, which can cause the heavy head and chest area to sink and fall through that gap - so we closed it with a continuous articulated chest and belly panel
- The enclosed design is better for buoyancy, security and comfort, particularly when being lifted
- Flotation in the under-chest panel supports the heavier shoulder area and helps keep the head higher in the water
- Attaching the handle to the full harness supports the dog fully, secures them firmly and eases pressure on soft issue
Trimmed And Articulated Panels To Create A More Streamlined Fit
- Conventional jackets are mostly rectangular with a curve around the neck because that’s cheaper to produce, but rectangles don’t fit around the curves of a dog and single piece buoyancy foam is stiff and awkward
- Every panel on the Float Doggy is curved to mirror the shape of a dog's body
- Each Float Doggy panel is articulated for flexibility to improve comfort and movement and give streamlined fit
- Float Doggy panels uses different densities of foam to best balance flotation and reduce bulk
- Independent front and rear adjustments allow for different body shapes
- For best visibility in and around the water we made the top panels brighter and placed waterproof reflective tape on the handle right on top for beacon-like visibility
Customer Reviews
By far the best life jacket I have had for my frenchi and I have tried 4 others good solid design
New dog, new life vest! We can always count on Stuntpuppy float coats to provide a good fit and excellent flotation. Purchased the mango color this time around and it’s nice and bright without looking like a traffic cone. :)
Like the product, allows my dog to swim in the pool to keep cool in the heat.
Size Med for my Staffy and fits great
I had one of the OG models that I bought from iDfa/Stunt Puppy for my Lab about 10 years ago. It was amazing and provided floatation under him where most life jacket padding is above the dog. These jackets are great for swimmers and our new 61lb Golden loves the Medium W we just got. The features are great and the handle helps wrangle her into and out of the raft and gave her so much confidence swimming the ocean with the crashing waves. Jacket stays intact and secure through all the movement.
