First time on the boat, my Frenchie was a nervous wreck. The second I clipped this on, she calmed right down. I actually got to enjoy the trip instead of watching the water the whole time.

That split-second panic, made a little easier.
Your dog jumps in. For a second, your stomach drops.
Can they make it back? Are they getting tired?
Not every dog is a strong swimmer. And even the ones who are can get caught off guard by a wave or a long swim back to shore.
DriftPaws™ takes that worry off you. Your dog stays up and easy to spot. So you can watch them have fun instead of watching the water.
Three things go wrong in the water. It handles all three.
They get tired. The built-in buoyancy keeps them supported in the water, so they don’t have to struggle to stay afloat.
Their head dips. The front support helps them in a more natural, comfortable position so they can breathe more easily.
They need help. The top handle gives you a quick, secure way to guide or lift them when needed.
DriftPaws™ goes on in about 15 seconds. Two simple clips and you’re ready to go.

Why we built DriftPaws™
We had one bad moment at the lake. Never again.
Our dog hit a wake she didn't see coming. For a few seconds we couldn't find her head above the water. She was okay. But that feeling stuck with us for weeks.
So we went looking for a jacket we actually trusted. Most were thin, slipped off, or let a tired dog's head sink. None had a handle strong enough to lift a real dog out of real water.
So we made the one we wish we'd had. It floats where it counts. It keeps their head up. And the handle holds when you need it. On in 15 seconds, every time.

BEFORE YOU BUY
Frequently asked questions
The stuff people ask before their first day on the water.
Top QuestionsIs the chin rest comfortable for smaller dogs?
Is the chin rest comfortable for smaller dogs?
Yes — the chin rest is designed to sit naturally under the jaw without restricting movement, and it's proportioned across every size, so smaller breeds get the same head support as larger ones.
Top QuestionsWill this work for a dog who's never worn a life vest before?
Will this work for a dog who's never worn a life vest before?
Most dogs adjust within the first few minutes, especially once they're in the water and feel the support. We recommend a quick 5-minute trial in shallow water before a big trip.
UsageCan it get wet and dry quickly between uses?

Absolutely. The materials are quick-dry and built for repeated water use, so you can use it one day and have it ready to grab again the next.
UsageIs the handle strong enough to lift my dog out of the water?
Is the handle strong enough to lift my dog out of the water?
Yes. The handle is reinforced and stitched to support a quick lift-assist — ideal for getting your dog back onto a dock, boat, or shore.
