Beagles are not known for being World-class swimmers. While your beagle may know how to swim, he can get tired and drown. Whether you are teaching your pooch how to swim or he is your swim-buddy, you should always put his safety first.
Dog Life jackets can prevent unfortunate events and keep your beagle safe. However, you must get a life jacket of the right size and quality. So for almost safety, I tried and tested all most all the popular jackets, even asked our Instagram community for suggestions, and made this list of top 7 dog life jackets perfect for a beagle.

I particularly like this life jacket by Outward Hound. The jacket comes in three bright color options and also has reflective accents so that you can spot your pooch easily in the water.

One good thing about this jacket is that it doesn’t make it uncomfortable for your beagle to walk on land.
I come in various sizes, but I think the small and medium variants are the ideal choice for puppy and adult beagles.

Final Thoughts
Life jackets are essential if you take your beagle out for water activities. Also, make sure that you check for cracks or tears on the jacket every time before putting it on. And if you find any, replace it with a new one immediately. Safety is something you should never compromise with.
I am emphasizing water safety because, in my childhood, I lost my dog to it. He was an adult labrador, and he knew very well how to swim, and yet the unfortunate event happened.
I did my research and found out that even pro swimmer dogs can run out of energy in the middle of the lank and drown. I hope this never happens to anyone.
