"Between us and our kids, we have three large dogs 280 pounders and 100 pound dog. They all love these rafts. They climb up on them never scratch or snag or tear the cover. They submerged slightly to keep them cool because that’s what they want anyway. My son‘s golden sits on that float for hours..."
