Dog Life Vest TRIXIE M Polyester Black Yellow 45 cm

The TRIXIE Dog Life Vest in Polyester (Black/Yellow) with a back length of 45 cm is a safety-focused flotation aid designed for water activities with dogs. Constructed from durable polyester, the vest combines an anatomic shape with adjustable fastenings to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. High-visibility colours and reflective stripes increase detection in low light or open water, while a rescue handle and D-rings support easy retrieval and leash attachment.

Advantages

The life vest provides increased safety during swimming, training and boat trips by improving buoyancy and visibility. Its fully adjustable nylon straps with snap locks and hook-and-loop fasteners allow a reliable fit tailored to the dog’s body. The anatomic shape supports natural movement in the water without restricting steering from the tail, and the integrated rescue handle with two D-rings allows for controlled lifting and connection of a leash or tether.

Suitable for

• Swimming practice and water confidence building
• Boat trips and offshore excursions
• Water-based training and search exercises
• Recreational water play at lakes, rivers or beaches

Key specifications

• Material: polyester outer shell for durability and quick drying
• Colour: black with yellow signal panels and reflective stripes for enhanced visibility
• Design: anatomic shape to allow natural movement and not cover the base of the tail
• Fastening: adjustable hook-and-loop closures and nylon straps with snap locks for a secure fit
• Safety features: rescue handle and two D-rings for lifting and attachment
• Fit guidance: select size primarily by the dog’s carrying capacity (weight), not only back length

How to use

Place the vest over the dog’s back and fasten the hook-and-loop closures and nylon straps, adjusting the snap locks until the vest sits snugly but does not restrict movement or breathing. Ensure the vest does not cover the base of the tail so the dog can steer in the water. Check that the rescue handle and D-rings are accessible. Before heading into deep water, perform a brief supervised test in shallow water to confirm fit and the dog’s comfort.

Usage recommendations

Choose the correct size according to the dog’s weight and check fit each time before use. Rinse the vest with fresh water after exposure to salt or dirty water and allow it to air dry. Inspect seams, fastenings and D-rings regularly for wear and replace the vest if damage is found.
