Ruffwear Confluence Life Jacket

The Ruffwear Confluence Dog Life Jacket is built for dogs who love finding their flow in the water. It combines the streamlined fit and mobility of a harness with the buoyancy of a life vest, giving dogs comfort, confidence and freedom around water.

Strategically placed foam panels help support a natural swimming position, while the harness-style construction offers six points of adjustment for a secure and comfortable fit. The water-compatible webbing holds its shape when wet, helping the jacket stay stable during swimming, paddling and active use.

A strong, low-profile handle is positioned to help lift dogs out of the water and back onto a boat, paddleboard or bank. There is also a hidden second rear handle for extra lifting support when needed. Side-release buckles make the jacket easy to put on and take off, and the reinforced tow loop can be used as a leash connection point.

Reflective trim improves visibility in low-light conditions, with a dedicated light loop for attaching The Beacon™ when adventures stretch towards dusk. Built with durable, technical materials, the Confluence Life Jacket is made for water-loving dogs who need support without restricting movement.
