Keeping Your Dog's Head Out of the Water is the Key to Keeping them Safe and Free from Drowning

Most life jackets do not support the dog's head and neck and will not keep your dog safe if their head drops in the water.  The Hedz UP Pets Watercollar is only collar designed specifically to prevent drowning.  Great for cats too!!
