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

I purchased this for my Texas Heeler puppy, not knowing if she would even use it. Let me tell you, she loves it. She jumps into from the side of the pool and she uses it for her king if the hill game with my AM Staf dog and their ball. This raft has taken a beating and is still holding air and floating. This raft is used 4-5 intervals every day and it has been jumped on, scratched at, wrestled on well over 100 times (southern florida and 90-95 degree days). The 2 dogs jump on it, wrestle with the ball on it, launch off of it and it has with stood all the abuse. The vent hole finally gave way to the material this past week but they didn't care and still use it. I tried to order a cheaper 1 for a replacement but it was much smaller in size, too tall for my AM Staff to get in it and the air valve keeps popping open. I didn't think this 1 would last more then a day with as rough as my dogs play on it but it lasted 2 months and I couldn't be more thrilled. I did have to order another 1 of these but that's ok, it's my dogs favorite play place.

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.

Love these floats! The medium is perfect for one overweight corgi, but when she got a brother and had to share we had to upgrade to the large. Very durable. Have had our first one for 2 years now.

This is a good quality float…….IF the seams are actually sewn! After 10 minutes in the pool, this is what we saw. I contacted the company, SwimWays and you can imagine my surprise when I was told they didn’t have another one in their warehouse (there’s plenty on Amazon!). Instead, they offered a recliner float for myself, which I declined. I will purchase another float for my dog but it WON’T be one of theirs. UPDATE I FINALLY received a replacement for the faulty float. It took some time, but the people I spoke/emailed were all very nice and assured me I would receive one. In all honesty, it really is a very high quality dog float and worth the money. UPDATE!!! I also just got a bill from FexEx for the shipping!! $14.00!!! BE AWARE TO PAY PAY PAY!!!!

I bought this raft and started using it in June 2013. I have a 55 lb Chocolate Lab and a 20 lb Jack Russell Terrier. They both LOVE to swim and equally love using rafts. For anyone who is in the same position, normal "human" rafts gets destroyed so easily and are not at all suited to be used by our four legged friends. This raft worked VERY well this summer! It has durable material and a wire frame that made it very sturdy to hold up each of my dogs, and at times the two of them together! I will say that by September the raft was unusable. The blue fabric in the middle started to fray and eventually the entire bottom was gone on the raft. HOWEVER, I do NOT feel that this is the fault of the product. My Chocolate Lab kept digging at the bottom to play in the water. I blame this for the cause of the fray. Also, there are two holes on the bottom on each side of the raft. I don't exactly know their purpose, but on occasion my Lab would step in the hole and stumble. She was never hurt but I'm sure it could be a concern. I did really love this product, it was worth the money and made the summer much more enjoyable with my dogs. I will certainly be buying another one to use next summer!

This was the first dog float I bought for him. The float is well made its wrapped in a material which is great that their nails don't puncture it. The only negative I would say is that he didn't like the cutouts that let water flow in and out he would not stand/sit in the middle. He liked to stand on the side. After having it for a few years I would recommend this as a good dog float.

We purchased the larger float 2 1/2 years ago and everything is fine except for it faded to be quite ugly. I replaced it with a smaller version a few days ago that is the same color as the original one was. Unfortunately, this one has valve problems and I will be returning it.

This is fantastic! I got both sizes. The smaller one for my 30lb pup and the bigger one fir my 95lb. They work!. My only constructive feedback is... 1 - the color. My pool is blue, as is the float. My big girl can't tell the inside of the float from the water. She wants to start on the inflates ring and I have to really work at convincing her there is a surface there to lay on. 2 - I appreciate that it can fold down to a flat circle, however on both floats, on one of the long sides, the wire swoops up towards the sky. It in no way e effects functionality, but if Mazie were to choose to lay her head there it would be uncomfortable to say the least. The wire isn't broken or anything, just a gently sloping bend. 3 - The reason for the 5th star deletion is the handles. My little one gets her leg stuck all the time and my big girl caught her foot up in there and it tore the fabric. I can't find any use for the handles as well so they just seem like an unnecessary hazard. Otherwise, they have held up well. They loose air incredibly slowly given all the abuse and they've never lost enough to sink 250lb me! For the price, they are better than amazing!!!
