Ruffwear Confluence™ Dog Life Jacket
For dogs who find their flow in the water — on Lake Tahoe, the Truckee River, Donner Lake, or any Sierra Nevada waterway — the Ruffwear Confluence™ Life Jacket blends the streamlined fit and mobility of a harness with the buoyancy of a life vest. The result: comfort, confidence, and freedom to explore in and around water.
Whether you're paddleboarding in Emerald Bay, boating out of Tahoe City Marina, kayaking the Upper Truckee River, or letting your dog swim at Kings Beach, the Confluence™ gives you the control and your dog the freedom to make the most of every water adventure.
Key Features
- 🌊 Harness-Style Construction — 6 points of adjustment for exceptional fit, comfort, and mobility in and out of the water.
- 🏋️ Strong, Low-Profile Handle — Optimally positioned to help dogs out of the water and onto a boat or paddleboard.
- 🔒 Stealthy Second Handle — Additional hidden handle at the rear for extra lifting support when you need it most.
- 🐾 Strategically Placed Foam Panels — Layered PVC-free foam and CLPE foam support a natural swimming position and move with your dog's stroke.
- 💧 Water-Stable Webbing — Holds its shape and doesn't stretch out when wet, maintaining a secure fit across all 6 adjustment points.
- 🔗 Reinforced Tow Loop — Leash attachment point for added control in current, waves, or busy waterways.
- 💡 Reflective Trim + Light Loop — Visibility in low-light conditions; light loop for attaching The Beacon™ for early morning or evening outings on the lake.
- 🔐 Side-Release Buckles — Easy on/off, even with wet hands on a boat or dock.
