Confluence Dog Life Jacket

Dual Lift Handles | High Visibility | Natural Swimming Support

The Ruffwear Confluence™ Dog Life Jacket is a high-performance flotation vest designed to give dogs the confidence, comfort, and mobility to explore lakes, rivers, oceans, and other water adventures. Combining the secure fit of a harness with the buoyancy of a life jacket, the Confluence™ supports natural swimming while allowing unrestricted movement both in and out of the water.

Strategically placed foam panels help maintain a balanced, natural swimming position, while six points of adjustment create a secure, customized fit that stays comfortable even when wet. A reinforced top handle makes it easy to assist dogs back onto boats, docks, or paddleboards, while a hidden secondary rear handle provides additional lifting support when needed. Water-stable webbing resists stretching to maintain a consistent fit, and reflective trim with a dedicated Beacon™ light loop enhances visibility during early morning or evening adventures.
