Pro tip: Measure around the widest part of your dog's ribcage (chest circumference). If your dog is between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort and safety.
Strong swimmers drown from exhaustion, not inability. This is the only life jacket engineered to keep your dog's airway above water when paddling slows down. Fast to put on. 3x longer swim time before fatigue.

A reinforced top rescue handle lets you lift your dog to safety in seconds. Built for every breed, every body type, every water activity.

See the Difference
Engineered for the Moment It Matters When your dog gets tired, the head drops first. Only Rhykin's ChinLift system is designed to protect the airway, not just float the body.
Strong swimmers are actually at higher risk. They swim further, stay out longer, and exhaust themselves faster. The jacket protects against the moment stamina runs out, not inability.
Yes. The ChinLift flap uses reinforced attachment points, not velcro or a single clip. It's engineered to stay locked in position even when your dog is active in the water.
No. The open front-leg design gives full range of motion. Your dog paddles naturally. The buoyancy panels support posture without forcing an unnatural position.
Measure around the widest part of your dog's ribcage. Small: 16 to 20 in (10 to 25 lbs). Medium: 20 to 28 in (25 to 50 lbs). Large: 28 to 36 in (50 to 80 lbs). Between sizes? Go up. The adjustable straps let you dial it in.
Yes. The adjustable fit system is specifically designed to accommodate flat-faced, front-heavy breeds. The chin support is especially important for brachycephalic dogs whose airways sit closer to the waterline.
Absolutely. The D-ring is there if you want it, but the jacket works perfectly without a leash. Your dog gets full freedom of movement in the water. Most owners only clip the leash for boat trips or strong currents.
