Furguards by Surf Dog Australia are UV Rashies for dogs. They make a great looking T-shirt but they're also packed with features like a UV rating of 50+ to protect your dogs this summer.
These Lycra Rashguards can be worn at the beach or during surfing competitions and the high visibility will help you spot your dog out in the waves. They can also be used to protect post surgical dogs from chewing their stitches.

The Hedz UP Watercollar is a life preserver for dogs that is a collar and not a life jacket. The Watercollar protects dogs the same way a human Personal Flotation Device (PFD) protects humans.
This Watercollar was engineered using the same high standards established by the US Coast Guard as the flotation requirements for humans. If your dog should become exhausted or even unconscious, the Watercollar will hold him in a position of safety, keeping his nose well above the water.
Most life jackets for dogs may not protect your dog from drowning as they're designed to hold the dog in a swimming position. If a dog wearing a life jacket becomes injured, or worse unconscious, his head will drop into the water.
These watercollars are available in ten sizes to fit dogs from 1.3kg to 90kg.
RRP: from $73.40 (free shipping) at www.lisaspetproducts.com.au
