Suggest having an electric pump if you want to save some labor. Ours has made this much easier. Have multiple inflatables for lake season, so the pump was already on hand, but comes in clutch with this too. Think I'd have liked if the black areas were another color, just to draw a little less heat. Useful this setup has the rings installed for easy towing, or for anchoring it to something solid. Small features like the anti slip, and the grab handles are appreciated and thoughtful inclusions. I think the pup is going to appreciate this setup far more than I though. Hoping it boosts inclusion for the pup when everyone's floating out on the lake on our various lake toys. And hoping it makes life for her a little easier. Overall, it's not too cumbersome to pack up into the back of the car, and with the pump we got, setting it up is a breeze. Inflatables can be a bit of a chore, but the convenience is a worthy trade off.Likes:- Have seen these used by a lot of other dog owners, and they make life easier on the pups in the water.- Seems well made, and the materials do seem thick enough to handle the doggos claws.- Grip pad.- Grab handles.- D-rings.Dislikes:- It's too cold out to get much use out of it for now.

Really cute ramp. This inflates nicely and the top non-slip material is very good: it's grippy and looks very cute. Got this in winter so we haven't had a chance to use it in the water but based on my experience so far, it seems really durable and I think it would work well.

This inflatable dock for dogs is great.It was very easy to set up and definitely makes it a whole lot easier for dogs especially older dogs to get in and out of the water.It's made of thick durable material that can hold up to their nails and weight. Once secured to your boat or dock it really doesn't move so it's really safe.Once you are done using it just deflate and fold up until next time. Functions well on the back of a boat if you like to dock in the lake or something to swim.

This is very sturdy and well made. It is a lot like an inflatable paddle board. It is a must have for lab owners! My dog jumps in whether there is a good way to get out or not. This is great for getting her back in the boat without having to go in and struggle to get her and myself back in. She figured it out very quickly and uses it with ease. It has a tie off rope that works great to tie it flush to the boat. It is easy to inflate with the included pump. It has a thick foam mat that my dog doesn’t slip on. It is very well made and high quality. It also comes in handy when swimming at beaches as a float. My dog loved being with the family but always scratches everyone while swimming and gets tired. This is a platform she can use that her nails can’t pop. It has saved a bunch of the kids inflatables. I am very pleased and it’s a must have for our water loving lab and coastal lifestyle!

this inflatable dock platform form for dogs works very well and makes it super easy for our dogs to go swimming

Please note: Because it is still winter, I have not actually used this in the water with my dog. My review is based on the contents and on the inflatable dock itself, and not on how it functions.This includes everything you need: inflatable dock, rope, carrying bag, air pump, and even a patch kit in case some long pawnails are too much for the seemingly tough fabric. I like the way the ramp is made with some extra grips and reinforcement. I'm looking forward to a fun boating season for the entire family including Willie our 85 pound Labradoodle this summer thanks to this inflatable dock.

This was a very impressive dog ramp. The build quality and design overall is what really stood out to me.For the build quality everything was very thick and durable, I had no fears of my dog's nails puncturing the ramp which was my biggest concern with having something inflatable.Something I really liked was the design of the portion where the dog gets onto the ramp from the water. I found the water pulled it down enough to where my dog could swim right into it and get her front paws onto the ramp, and her back paws being able rest on the material portion. This made it very easy for her to be able to stand up and get out of the water completely.The fabric has nice little strips of harder material going across to also assist with this.For buoyancy it worked great for my dog. She is about 75lbs, and when she wasn't on it of course it floated higher but not to high where she couldn't swim into the fabric portion of the dock. With her weight on it completely it stayed afloat with out issues.Stability wise she had no problems. It didn't sway left to right when she stood up in it, but more so shifted downwards slowly, which didn't stratal her and gave her more then enough time to get off and back on land.This is an easy recommendation for myself, and worked great for my dog.

It is too cold now to use our new inflatable dog dock but I did inflate it to make sure it will hold air and it seems like it is going to work. Our dogs don’t like to swim but like to be around us when we are in the dock or swimming in the water so this should be perfect! It is heavy duty and I think will resist puncture from their claws. It is easy to inflate and appears like it will float fine. If not, I will definitely update my review. P

While I have a cute lil pooch, this is not for him, its all mine! lol I actually got this for a dock for my canoe. I beach in rocky terrain often when I camp at diff locations and this keeps my canoe off the rocks! Gives a nice platform to launch from and ramp into upon return. The material is fairly thick and made for dogs should handle light rock duty with out much weight or stress on it. Id rather patch this if the occasion arises rather than my canoe or worse yet, find out a rock had been rubbing undetected till a leak forms.....out on the lake......

Other companies make similar ramp/dock products, but this one is half the price of a lot of them. Even so, this dock is REALLY heavy duty; probably about 5-6 times as thick as my inflatable kayak and that’s not even counting the reinforcement on the bottom! It’s more like a Zodiac for thickness than something made for fun. The manufacturer makes stand-up paddleboards, so they understand something about how to make a heavy duty floating contraption. Probably this is the same material as is used for a paddleboard. Normally I wouldn’t comment on the patching kit that is sent with an inflatable, but thank goodness this one has two large patches: one of each colour. They aren’t those silly little pieces of tape that come with other inflatables. These ones are made of the same materials as the dock. There wasn’t any glue that I could see, probably because the correct glue is something that is for professional use only. I once had quite a gash in one of my inflatable kayaks so I went to a Zodiac repair shop and they used their glue to fix it. That’s what I would recommend with this dog dock as well.I got this for a dear friend as a present for when summer returns. It’s late December right now in Canada so I won’t be trying this out any time soon, though. My friend has a lovely big retriever and an in-ground pool. They are very vigilant about their pool and dog, but I like the idea of having this float in the pool any time that the cover is removed. It’s not always easy for the dog to get out of their pool, but you know retrievers and how much they love to get in the water! I also think that this would be as much fun for the dog as a pool toy would be for a kid. My friend’s son loves boating and this could be fun for him to take along anywhere there is water and the family dog. It’s surprisingly compact when fully deflated.This dog dock also came with a very heavy duty rope for towing. It also came with two carabiners, which were disappointing because one had started to corrode and the other one was already badly corroded. Normally I would take off a star for this but overall this is such a great product and the price point is excellent for what you get, so I am going to overlook the carabiners.I was also thinking that this dog dock would be a great product for every fire and rescue department to have. It’s ideal for when an animal falls through the ice. It would not only help save animals’ lives, but make it safer and easier for our first responders.Owromi should consider creating a very similar product to this which would be for rescuing humans, especially those who have fallen through the ice. It would need more handholds so people could grab it easily from any direction. There should be something on the deck so a person could secure themselves using their arms rather than their hands, as their hands may no longer be functioning well enough to hold on. A larger footprint would allow better weight distribution if on ice, less chance of the dock flipping over in choppy waters, and a larger area for an exhausted person to rest.

This is a great way to take my dog to the water, whether it's a day on the boat or over to my friend's house for a few hours in the pool.It inflates quickly and easily and he has no problem getting up and down the ramp thanks to the weighted metal bars that act like steps. Sometimes he uses it to enter or exit the water and sometimes he just uses it as a place to rest for a minute.I love that it's so portable and fits into such a compact bag. It inflates/deflates super easily and goes into the carry bag with no problem. It's made of the same materials and in the same way as my inflatable paddle boards and has fantastic rigidity and buoyancy when inflated to just 5.5PSI.If you have a dog and spend any time on the water this is a fantastic thing to have!

Too bad it's not the season for pools so it can't be fully tested but she definitely likes it and wasted no time getting on. It feels quite firm and she didn't cause it to squish when she sat her hefty body on it.The only complaint I is it needs some kind of instructions. It was pretty easy to figure out the inflation, but the pressure gauge has no information so I don’t know if I should be careful of certain numbers.
