In short
The Dog-DOK is a 60 × 40 inch inflatable platform with a weighted mesh ramp that sinks just below the waterline. Your dog swims onto the submerged steps, climbs onto a soft EVA foam deck and walks out. The black-and-white sides are high contrast, which helps dogs find the exit on their own.
Best forMedium to large dogs (up to 250 lbs) in in-ground pools, at the lake or off a boat.

How it works
An inflatable platform floats at the surface while a weighted mesh or ladder hangs below it. Your dog swims onto the submerged part, gets its back paws on a step, then walks up onto the deck and out of the pool. Tie it to a ladder, a heavy object or the pool steps so it stays in place.
Setup tips
- 1Tie both front ropes to fixed points so it does not drift
- 2Inflate firm — a soft ramp sags under heavy dogs
- 3Rinse and dry before folding to avoid mildew
