Make a Splash with the Right Life Jacket for Your Rottie!

Hoomans, let’s talk about something important—keeping us pups safe in the water. Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Thor, Rottweilers are strong swimmers!” And while that’s true (I do have some serious muscle under all this fluff), not every pup is built like a fish. That’s where the Outward Hound Granby Splash life jacket comes in. It’s the ultimate floatie for dogs who love a good dip but aren’t exactly Michael Phelps in the pool.

Safety First, Hoomans!

If you’ve ever seen a pupper paddling for dear life while their hooman yells, “Go on, swim!”—then you know why a doggy life jacket is a must. The Outward Hound Granby Splash has bright colours and reflective accents, which means even when I’m showing off my doggy paddle in the waves, you won’t lose sight of me. Plus, it’s got a front neck float to help keep my head above water. No accidental gulps of salty sea for this good boy!

Perfect Fit for Every Pup

Not all dogs have my fine-tuned Rottie physique, but this jacket is made for all shapes and sizes. It comes in multiple sizes and has adjustable straps, so whether your pupper is built like a tank (me) or more on the noodle side, they can get a comfy and secure fit. Got a Rottweiler with a big ol’ barrel chest? Size up to make sure they can breathe easy and move freely.

Built for Maximum Buoyancy

This thing isn’t just for show—it’s made with ripstop material, meaning it’s built to last and helps us stay afloat without turning us into stiff, clunky boats. I personally approve of anything that lets me splash around while still being able to leap onto shore for a treat break.

Easy Hoist for Water Rescues (or Just Helping Us Back on Deck)

Now, let’s say I take my water zoomies a little too far and suddenly I need some help back on the boat. No worries! The Outward Hound Granby Splash has dual grab handles, so you can scoop me up like the precious cargo I am. It’s great for hoomans who don’t want to do a full “dog overboard” scenario just to fish us out.

The Verdict? 5 Out of 5 Paws!

Hoomans, if you want to keep your pup safe while having the best time in the water, this is the way to go. Whether we’re beach bums, pool paddlers, or kayak co-captains, the Outward Hound Granby Splash lets us have fun while staying safe. Just promise me one thing—if you’re getting one for your pup, make sure you capture our heroic swimming moments for the socials. We deserve the clout.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some water-logged zoomies to unleash.
