Great Product. If you live near water and have a dock / seawall it is important that your dog can get out by himself. We have seen dogs swim in circles looking for a way out of the canal - with this type of product, they swim right to it, for an easy climb out.

Pros: ease of us

Cons: have not found one

I live on a lake and my chessie has no problem getting out but other dogs that have come to visit and swim have had trouble getting out of the water so I put in steps. Some dogs will use them and others won't, a ramp works better!!

Pros: It works

Cons: none

This is a good product for teaching your pet to exit the water because it is highly visable. However if you have a pool using repetition back to the steps (same place of exit) each time is also quickly learned.

Pros: very visable

Cons: costly

THIS IS GREAT FOR OUR DOGS TO CLIMB OUT OF THE LAKE ONTO THE BACK OF THE HOUSEBOAT WITHOUT HAVING TO PULL THEM STRAIGHT UP THE LADDER. A BIT BULKY TO STORE WHEN UNDER WAY.

Pros: GOOD SAFETY

Cons: BULKY

This would be perfect for use on our creek. Some of canine vistors refuse to cross the creek with us when we hike. Good for the kids use as well.

Pros: Accessibility

Cons: NONE
