Dogs are blessed with the ability to swim, but it wouldn’t hurt to dress them up, so they look the part now, would it? If humans can wear bikinis or bathing suits, then dogs should also wear something when they’re in the water. Well, at least that’s what Albabara thought of when they decided to craft swimwears for our four-legged friends.
How to become a mer-dog
If you’re a fan of Disney movies, then you’re familiar with The Little Mermaid. Ariel is the reason why most of us dreamt of growing a tail and developing the ability to breathe underwater. Some of us even made our dogs take on the roles of Sebastian and Flounder to complete the cast.
Luckily, for those with mermaid fantasies, Albabara came up with the next best thing: mermaid-inspired life jackets for dogs! They’re coated with a shiny material that resembles scales, and it has a built-in tail that glides above water. This gives the illusion that the dog has a mermaid tail, much to the delight of Ariel’s fans.
More than just a fashion item
Unlike most pet toys and accessories, the mermaid life jacket is functional. You can use it to dress up your pet for a photoshoot, or as a device to help dogs who are still learning how to swim. It has thick foam paddings that can help your four-legged friend float. This will also put them at ease while in the water.
At the top of the mermaid life jacket is a handle that owners can use to pull their dog out of the water should the need arise. There is also a neck pad and a leash attachment ring to help dogs keep their head above water when swimming. Owners can’t help but gush over how adorable their dogs look when they’re wearing these mermaid life jackets!
