From gentle paddling to the thrill of whitewater, different aquatic pursuits call for different life jackets. Between the Confluence™ and the Float Coat™ Life Jackets, both offer optimal buoyancy and comfort for your companion — but knowing some key differences can help you find the right one for their unique needs. Whether you’re seeking a reliable go-to for fun in the water, or some added features for more epic adventures, here’s how to choose the right life jacket for your dog.
Confluence™ Life Jacket
A performance harness-style life jacket
- Harness-style build with six points of adjustment for our most customizable fit, without sacrificing mobility
- Low-profile grab handle on top, stealthy second handle at the rear of the life jacket for added lifting support

If your adventures with your companion lean more toward the high-speed, or prolonged periods on open or choppy waters, you probably want a PFD that’s built to perform. Enter the Confluence™ Life Jacket. It blends the streamlined fit, mobility, and security of a harness with the buoyancy of a life vest to support your dog’s most epic pursuits.

For performance you can trust in and around the water, the Confluence™ is your go-to life jacket.
