WATCH: Water safety is important for every member of the family

A simple buy could save a life

When you're pulling out life jackets for your kids make sure you have one for your dog, too.

Whether it's boating, paddle boarding, or kayaking, a life jacket could be a life saver in an emergency.

As with any life jacket, fit is most important.

It's best to bring your dog to the store for a personal fitting.

The life jacket should be snug, with straps that can be adjusted when the animal is wet.

The most popular models have a handle that allow you to scoop your dog up quickly with one hand.

Your pup may not love the life jacket but he or she will definitely love time on the water with you this summer.
