The invention relates to a novel pet flotation and safety vest device wherein the body section attaches firmly yet comfortably to the pet, and strategically placed mesh panels allow for water drainage. A padded chip strap aids in keeping the pet's head above water. The vest is adjustable for varying sizes of dogs.

An emergency rescue locator for locating persons and pets in the water is provided. The emergency rescue locator comprises a life jacket having a front side and a rear side and a locating system mounted to the life jacket. The locating system comprises an inflatable pole having a first end and a second end and an inflating mechanism in fluid communication with the first end of the pole. Upon the locating system becoming immersed in the water, the inflating mechanism instantly and automatically activates to inflate the pole causing the second end of the pole to be positioned at a point above a water surface. The locating system immediately and continuously pinpoints the persons' or pets' location until rescued.

The present invention relates to a rescue device capable of making multiple rescues in all weather and light conditions and rescuing conscious and unconscious persons, pets, and conveyances.

The invention relates to a novel pet flotation and safety vest device wherein the body section attaches firmly yet comfortably to the pet, and strategically placed mesh panels allow for water drainage. A padded chip strap also has mesh sections for drainage and a strategically located top grab strap that will keep the animal level when it is being pulled from the water. The underside of the vest also has a reinforced grab strap in the event an animal may be upside down in the water.

A pet harness and life vest is disclosed having a body portion which includes an outer shell which forms an envelope in which resides an inflatable bladder. The inflatable bladder includes a back portion and two oppositely disposed side chambers or portions. The inflatable bladder also includes a manually actuated air pump having a bulb with a check valve which in turn is coupled to a release valve and an elongated air tube sealed to the inflatable bladder for the introduction of air into the bladder. The pet harness also includes a flexible chest strap and a flexible belly strap. Lastly, the pet harness has a hand grip which includes a coupler in the form of a D-ring to enable a leash to be coupled to the pet harness.

The personal flotation device is adapted for use with a person and a pet. The personal floatation device is configured for use with water. The personal flotation device provides buoyancy during water based activities. The personal flotation device is a multipurpose device that: 1) forms a seat; 2) forms a raft; and, 3) forms a plurality of flotation devices. The plurality of flotation devices are suitable for use by the person and the pet. The personal flotation device comprises a pet pad, a float, an insulated storage case, a dry storage container, and a plurality of straps. The plurality of flotation devices comprises the pet pad and the float. The plurality of straps interconnect the pet pad, the float, the insulated storage case, and the dry storage container to form the seat and the raft portions of the personal flotation device.

A safety, rescue, and recovery device that compressively secures to a limb of a user when inflated. The device can be easily adjusted to be negatively buoyant, neutrally buoyant, or positively buoyant before inflation depending on whether the application is safety, rescue, or recovery. The device may also be integrated into an article of clothing for certain applications. An elongated handle is attached to the device to provide a sliding attachment point for a rescue rope that automatically reduces torque applied to the limb of the user. Consequently, a rescue force applied to the rescue rope can act at a variety of angles along an arc relative to the device.

A Canine Flotation Device is a flotation aid for dogs undergoing water-based physical therapy rehabilitation. The device has of a section of hard foam, such as Styrofoam which floats upon the surface of the water and borders the entire dog. The center of the foam board is cut out to accommodate the dog while the dog is in a dog paddle position. The dog is held in place by a textile harness which holds the chest, belly, and hind quarters of the dog. The harness is then attached to the foam board by six (6) nylon straps of which two (2) each are on the front, side, and rear of the foam. Each strap is adjustable to securely fit the dog and allow for proper floatation. It is envisioned that the device would be made available in a plurality of sizes.
