Why it matters
Foam panels are placed for buoyancy, including under the belly, so dogs stay upright in a natural swimming position. A streamlined shape tapers to the torso. A one-time-fit adjustable top-pull collar contains buoyant foam to help keep the neck and head up, and tough 1680-denier nylon is easy to clean and quick to fasten.
