" ... We take him boating and swimming with us. ... When he is in the water we keep the float in there too so he has a safe place to sit and rest since he will not trust his life jacket. ... "
" ... This is extremely well made and has held up very well in the pool this year. ... "

" ... This doggie raft is the best thing I've bought for lake fun in years. ... "
" ... My small 15lb dog really likes this pool float. ... "
" ... Even if it only lasts another 1.5 summers, it will be worth enjoying the company of my bulldog in our pool. ... "
" ... This float is extremely sturdy and the canvas like fabric on the inside definitely seems tear resistant. ... I also love the fact that she actually sits in the water, so she can be cool. ... "

" ... Won't hold air. ... "
" ... The wire that holds the float shape bent the first time our dog got on it. ... "
" ... When I initially opened the shipping box I noticed the product box was ripped at the opening flap and there were several pieces of tape to keep it closed, as if it was already opened once before shipping it to me. ... When I inflated it I noticed a small bend in the spring pole on one of the sides, but didn't think much of it. ... "
" ... The valve was not centered with the hole and would not stay closed. ... "
" ... Sadly, this doggy float wouldn’t hold air. ... "
" ... Like the material but the side of this float kinked and will not straighten out to hold our dog properly. ... "

" ... He loves to ride on his float. ... "
" ... Thy're great and really stand up to wear and tear. ... "
" ... Held his weight well (95 lbs) but found it worked better upside down for him to be able to put his head down comfortably. ... "
" ... Also makes for a pretty comfortable human float when my dog wasn't using it :) ... "
" ... Previous floaties caused anxiety with natural weight deviation but this float was excellent with equal weight distribution. ... "
" ... The floaty part is really tough canvas and I don’t think it’ll be easy to pop. ... "
" ... Very strong material that she cannot rip with her nails. ... "

" ... I’m not sure if you can tell from my photos, but where the plastic opening to fill the raft with air is SUPPOSED to be connected to the raft, it is unsealed. ... "
" ... you can't close the valve well because it is buried inside the floatie, so you have nothing to hold onto and the thing just pushes into the inside of the floatie cover. ... "
" ... Maybe I didn't read the description thoroughly enough, but this "float" has holes in it so your bet is sitting in several inches of water. ... "
" ... The fill valve does not have a check valve. ... "
" ... Definitely one dog only and no extra room. ... "
" ... The only problem is the valve keeps opening so it deflats ... "
" ... Keeps bending inwards on my dog, where it suppose to fold for storage. ... "

" ... It collapses with my dog in the pool the wires are bent on inside also. ... After i got him out I looked float over and the wire was crazy and of course the valve stem was underneath the canvas. ... "
" ... The second one I purchased seemed to be OK for about a month though when trying to adjust the flexible wire that bowed severely it broke eventually causing it to puncture the tube, hence deflating the raft. ... "
" ... Only thing it has a wire in it and got bend the first day! ... "
" ... The wire that holds the float shape bent the first time our dog got on it. ... "
" ... The wire form that is supposed to keep the shape is defective and bends inward. ... "
" ... This is the second float have we have purchased both have ended up with the Wire poking through the material with in just a couple weeks . ... Great Idea but doesn't last but a few weeks before wire is sticking through. ... I have studied the design of these and the problem with the reinforcing wire inside. ... This results in the wire being longer that the inflated circumference of the float. ... "
