Even dogs that love the water can tire and struggle while swimming, especially if it’s cold and choppy. With Bombora’s new Dog Vests, pets are safer, whether they’re on a day-long paddling excursion or relaxing dockside. Four sizes of PFDs fit dogs from extra small to up to 90 lbs.

Bombora Dog Vests are designed for unrestricted movement—in or out of the water. Covered in a soft but durable polyester fabric, layered and segmented flotation form the PFD naturally to the body and offers protection to the belly region. A padded neck collar and three Delrin quick-release buckles allow for a custom fit for all-day comfort.

The Dog Vests feature a sewn-in D-ring for attaching a leash. Large padded and reinforced webbing grab handles on the back provide the ability to easily assist the dog back onto the boat, SUP or dry land. Side pockets are perfect for storing leashes, poop bags and other essential gear.

Bombora Dog Vests are available in two color combinations: Tidal turquoise/white and Sunrise blue/yellow/red. The extra small model fits pets up to 12 lbs. with a collar size between 8″–12″ and a body girth of 13″–17″. Small is designed for dogs 12–24 lbs. with a collar size between 10″–14″ and a girth of 15″–21″. The medium version is for 24–60 lbs. with a collar size between 13″–19″ and a girth of 24″–36″. The Large size is meant for 60–90 lbs. with a collar size between 18″–26″ and a girth of 13″–17″. They cost $45.
