[Rhodes22-list] Dog Life Jackets.DANGER

[elle]

Guys,

Got this from my vet:

Please when you get a life jacket for your dog get one that will support his head from UNDER the head. Dogs can paddle for quite a while but they become fatigued holding their heads up and drown when they can no longer do so.

Not something we necessarily think about.

I got mine @ West Marine. Looks the same but cost more. Works OK but  
is not comfortable.
