The Purposes Of A Dog Boat Ladder

Many people have never heard any reference to a
dog boat ladder and have no idea what it is. You
probably have heard about these handy ladders if
you have a boat and a dog who likes to swim.
Many retriever type dogs love the water and if
their owner enjoys spending time on the water,
they may even have one of these devices. Most
water loving dogs tend to be large breeds and
can easily weigh 50 pounds and up. If you have
ever attempted to lift your large dog from the
water and back into a boat, you would understand
the advantage of this ladder as it is designed to
help dogs climb aboard on their own. Older
arthritic dogs which may also be overweight can
be easily helped out of the water without fear
of damaging their joints. According to reviews,
the ladders are also useful for families in
providing an easier way for children to board
the boat unassisted.

Dog boat ladders are made of corrosion
resistant plastic with a ribbed, non-slip
surface. The ladders are also designed to float
and can be easily detached to allow humans to
access the boats' built in ladder. Some people
find other uses for their dog boat ladders at
home. Smaller dogs sometimes have difficulty
climbing onto their favorite resting place on a
chair or couch. Since the ladders are easily
cleaned and lightweight, they also work well to
assist older dogs in gaining access to their
preferred bed.

Online reviews for the Load-A-Pup ladder were
all positive, with buyers stressing over and
over their relief that they no longer needed to
stress their back by lifting their heavy pet
back into the boat. Dogs also seem to be happier
because the ladder gave them freedom to swim and
return into the boat as they wished. Some
reviewers also noted their dog used the ladder
to rest a short time before resuming their swim.
Dog owners stated their pet quickly learned to
use the ladder and that it was easy to assemble
and install. There are several companies that
sell dog boat ladders including Paws Aboard, Pet
Steps and Hunter K9 Gear. The average cost of dog
ladders comes in at about $175, and they are
constructed of easy to transport durable plastic
weighing approximately 18 pounds.

Many dog owners also use a dog boat ladder in
their swimming pool to create an easy exit from
the pool for their pet. Even small dogs seem to
enjoy having the ability to control their climb
out of the water. It is common for dogs to panic
when humans attempt to lift them from the water
into a boat, and the dog boat ladder eliminates
this problem.
