Where can I find a good dog life Jacket here in New Jersey? I have been searching the pet stores around but it's not available.

10 best dog life jackets

Look in YellowPage for a local West Marine < < ===here are their top life jackets. They usually have stores within a couple of miles of the shoreline all over the place.

Can the dog not swim?

@Dutchess_III If, for example you have your dog out with you on a boat, I don’t think you’d want them to have to swim for their life if the boat tipped.

@Dutchess_III Also the loop handles sticking up on the sides of the animal make it easier to retrieve the dog out of the water.

Oh, for a boat. OK. Now I feel so guilty. We never put a life jacket on Dakota in our boat

Get one for a human and modify it.

Try the Jersey Paddler in Ocean County. They should have them.
