Even 4-legged ‘first mates’ need proper safety gear

Life vests like this one have a reflective handle that makes it visible day and night and allows you to pull your pet out of the water with ease and comfort, according to Coast Guard officials. (U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary photo)

When boating, it is important to have proper safety gear for all passengers – even if they happen to be pets. According to the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, just like humans pets need the added protection of non-slip footwear, life preservers, water proof jackets and protective eyewear when they are on a boat.

Even though dogs are swimmers by nature, a life vest is still necessary in larger bodies of water, officials say. The vest keeps the pet afloat at all times and enables it to swim longer.
