Goldfish Life Jackets

Leighton Naylor Created a Life Jacket for His Disabled Goldfish

— May 19, 2013 — Unique
Loving pet owner Leighton Naylor created a special life jacket for his disabled pet goldfish Einstein. This occurred after Einstein got a bladder infection that prevented him from swimming on his own. This miraculous pet invention helped him to swim all on his own again.

This pet-assisting product is made out of recycled tubing. The tiny adorable life jacket allows the fish to float a little, which keeps him from sinking to the bottom of the tank.

Animal rights activists should be pleased by this pet saving innovation. Goldfish are such minuscule creatures; most people probably wouldn't think to invent a floating aid for them if they fell ill. Leighton Naylor's creativity and caring helped him to think up this fantastic disabled fish tool.

1. Pet-saving Innovations - The creation of a life jacket for a disabled pet goldfish demonstrates the potential for innovative products that assist and improve the lives of pets.

3. Micro-animal Care - The development of a floating aid for a tiny and often overlooked creature like a goldfish highlights the growing trend of specialized care and attention for micro-animals.
Industry Implications

3. Aquarium and Fish-keeping Industry - The aquarium and fish-keeping industry can embrace innovative products like life jackets to cater to the specific needs and challenges of caring for and providing a comfortable environment for fish, including disabled ones.
