ABSTRACT:
An animal flotation device that provides full support under the animal with flotation pods on both sides and an additional detachable flotation pod located under the head of the animal to prevent the head and nose from going under water. The front flotation pod hangs down when out of the water and immediately supports the head of the animal when in the water. The front legs of the animal pass through holes located in the front of the center support to prevent the animal from slipping out of the device while in use, either on land or water. To keep the unit secured on the animal, there are two sets of straps, one located just behind the front legs of the animal and the second set located just in front of the rear legs of the animal. The straps have quick releases for ease and rapidity of use during attachment and detachment. The device is made of nylon for durability and is bright yellow in color for safety.
