Each Critter's Inflatable Pet
Life jacket now has the following
new features:
The aft harness
is adjustable the
same as the forward harness so it can be moved forward if needed for the pets
comfort.
We have added an adjustable upper neck strap. This
upper neck strap will help you while fitting the Critter's Inflatable® Pet
life jacket on your pet and
eliminate any possibility that your pet could squirm out of the life jacket's
harness.
We have added "wrap around strap" on
each of the free ends of the lower harnesses. This strap has Velcro type material which allows wrapping the
strap around the harness webbing to secure the free end so it does not hang.
We have added SOLAS Retro-Reflective Tape on
the lifting handle of the upper harness assembly.

Critter's Inflatable®
Pet life jacket is a fully
automatic inflatable pet life jacket for your companion animals (dogs, cats,
pigs, and any other four legged animal within the three size ranges shown
above). Additionally, when needed, this automatic feature can be
changed so that it can be operated manually.
We use the same technology that companies today
are using to make inflatable life jackets for people. This technology results
in life jackets that are smaller and more comfortable to wear when not inflated,
and which outperform foam life jackets when inflated. We also use the new
automatic inflator technology for our pet life jacket which automatically
inflates the pet life jacket when submerged in water.
Most importantly, when inflated, the Critter's Inflatable®Pet life jacket provides additional
buoyancy directly under your companion animal's neck so that even when your
animal is tired, its face and mouth will remain out of the water. A harness
with adjustable upper and lower neck straps allows the owner to adjust the
life jacket so it properly fits your companion animal's body shape and size.
We want our companion animals to have the same improved safety and comfort
as we do for ourselves.
As noted above, the Critter's
Inflatable® Pet
life jacket was specifically designed to solve the three
inherent problems that currently exist with all foam pet life jackets:
(1) Foam Dog life jackets or any Foam Pet
life jackets are not comfortable to wear for
extended periods especially in hot weather, because they cover a large
area on your animal’s body. When not
inflated, the Critter’s Inflatable Pet life jacket only covers a fraction
of the surface area covered by foam life jackets, minimizing discomfort
or overheating. Our inflatable pet life jacket is so comfortable
your animal will soon forget that they have anything on.
(2) Foam Dog life jackets or any Foam Pet
life jackets are limited in the amount of
buoyancy they can provide. Critter's Inflatable® Pet
life jacket
provides at least two to three times the amount of buoyancy that a foam
dog life jacket or foam pet life jackets (including cat devices)
provides.
(3) Most Foam Dog
life jackets and most Foam Pet life jackets generally have little or no
foam directly under the animal’s neck area, so the animal must hold its
head up at all times. Our inflatable pet life jacket provides a
tremendous amount of buoyancy on both sides of the animal as well as
directly under the animal's neck. Go to our Dog Photo Gallery and see
the head support provided by Critter's Inflatable®
Pet life jacket.
