Since everyone is enjoying their new pool floats this year, I think the dog feels left out. He’s just been staring longingly at everyone else enjoying the summer sun. I ordered this Paddle Paws dog raft by SwimWays so he can join in on the fun too. I hope he likes it! Who knew they made floats for dogs?
A dog raft is a float made just for dogs. Unlike traditional inflatable vinyl floats, these are reinforced to prevent punctures from claws. While it still needs air to stay afloat, they’re much more resilient than a human variety. The fabric base gives your dog a safe and cool place to enjoy your pool.
Let your pup enjoy some fun and sun floating in the pool with the SwimWays Paddle Paws dog raft!
The SwimWays Paddle Paws dog raft is a pool float designed specifically for your canine companions. Like a traditional flotation toy, a chamber filled with air around the perimeter is what keeps it afloat in the pool. Reinforced polyester fabric that resists paws and claws protects the floating raft’s air pocket. The interior is also a hardier construction, to mitigate punctures.
A spring loaded design provides stability around the edges, making for a more stable floating experience – no capsizing! Your dog is able to lay on the central mesh fabric and float around the pool, getting a much needed summer cool down. The SwimWays spring float design also allows the dog raft to fold down for easy storage and transport. Simply fold it into a trifold circle and place it in the included carry bag. Perfect for winter storage, or packing along on trips to the lake!
This SwimWays spring float dog raft model is designed for small to medium dogs, with a 65 pound maximum weight capacity. A large dog version is also available, if your pup is over the 65 pound mark.
