SwimWays Paddle Paws Spring Float Dog Raft, Small (0-65 lbs.)

Excellent quality dog float. Easy to inflate and deflate/store. Good size for medium (20-35lb) dog. Very happy with the quality for the money, we use it often!

We had so much fun with this. Bought it last min from US for rental gite with pool as we were worried about getting our 13yr old in and out the pool as he’s a typical feisty terrier who doesn’t like help and it gave us loads of laughs trying to persuade him in it with a toy. I have to be honest and say it took a lot of persuasion and throwing toys but once he plucked up the courage, he got better at it. We had to be in the pool to help him back in it by leaning on it to sink it enough as he wasn’t strong enough to pull himself in and preferred to jump straight out the lilo with his ball and head to nearest pool edge not the lilo. After a few days we tried it upside down as it was a much smaller drop from the side and this worked far better for him and he was very happy to jump off side onto it upside down. I’m sure some dogs would happily float around in it but ours is too toy focused and just wants to swim instead and retrieve. I used it myself as well as it makes a good float. It’s v easy to pump up and deflate to carry it home. The best fun we had was watching him wavering at the pool edge for ages, before taking the plunge. The Co were brilliant as I couldn’t get it in time for our hols through UK site but they expedited it so fast to us and we all loved it and can’t wait to take it with us again - we all miss the lovely pool in France. Bought a huge paddling pool for him on return but he was not impressed - it’s been totally ignored despite the v rare heatwave in UK - he prefers the sea

I purchased for my toy poodles. This float has thick quality fabric. The blow up float is inside the fabric so it won’t get punctured. My dog is able to get in and out of it when it’s inside the water or from the side of the pool. They seem to really enjoy it once they got used to it. I didn’t inflate it fully as it’s easier for them to get in or out of it in the water. Best purchase for a pool dog toy ever.

This is super sturdy and has yet to be punctured by my pup's claws (and it's been used a lot this summer). We got it for our above-ground pool because my dog is super old but likes to swim like she did when she was a puppy and will sometimes overdo it. This thing holds her no problem (she's a fat little Jack Russel), and she floats on it easily. However, she can't get on it without our help - we have to kind of hold the edge down under the water so she can climb up on it. Also, the holes in the bottom of the main part, while probably serving a purpose, just end up being places where my pup's legs fall through when she's trying to get on it or adjust her positioning. So, this is great for using while we are either in the pool with her or nearby to supervise, but it doesn't work if we weren't standing there to help her with it.

This is a great float. Good quality and very durable material. Not flimsy at all. I got the size small. None of my dogs has tested it yet, only my grand daughter did. Worked great for her too. She sat in there safe and sound and there was never a situation that we thought it would turn over. Of course she would never float unsupervised. It seems to be very comfy to sit in. I'm sure my dogs will enjoy it too. But even if not, it's a great kids float too.This review reflects my own unbiased opinion, i I did not receive any discounts etc to leave this review.

The quality is excellent. It can hold our two 11 lbs mini dachshunds no problem. They can even stand together on the side, it will sink, but they don’t fall in unless they want to. We got the medium size and it’s a great fit for our 10’ round summer pool. I haven’t tested it at the beach yet but I imagine it will be fine. The fabric is this so even with there nails being a little long right now, there’s no way they could rip it or puncture the blow up part - it’s completely protected.

We got this for our pup who HATES water. I was amazed at the quality, especially with it only being $30. I love the fact that it has 2 open spots so she can still be “in” the water without having to be swimming. We’ve used this a handful of times already and it has helped her gain confidence in the water. My kids use it too when our pup doesn’t go swimming. Will definitely purchase again!

The float is made of a canvas material and seems to be very rugged. However after being in the pool for only a week has already started to have mold on it. My dog only weighs teeny pounds and has a hard time maneuvering in the small area between the sides and a hard time getting in and out. Love the concept but switching back to a human swimways float for him.
