A dog life jacket provides buoyancy, making it easier for your dog to swim. It also adds an extra layer of safety, keeping your dog afloat in case they get tired or face difficulty in the water. Additionally, life jackets often come with handles that allow you to easily pull your dog out of the water if necessary.
