Dog life vests, The can be expensive.

My dog loves to go boating but does not like getting in the water. I have to say he is a bit of a wimp and does not have great sea legs.  He likes to go to the bow and look out under the Jib as we sail as long as it is calm, but if it gets a little ruff he will hide in the cock pit against us.

Our last dog was just the opposite, he liked bow riding when it was wavy and ruff.

Dog life vests range from reasonably priced to big bucks. I found some dog vests that were reasonably priced (about $20) and functional. Bosco is not all that keen on having it on but We feel safer if he has it own.
