Does anyone know of any websites, or places I could go to get one of those ramps that your dog can swim up to and get out of the water??
I have a huge problem! My Doxie loves to go swimming, but can only get out of the water on the pool side because of the steps. The spa however has no steps and he can't get out! I don't want him to fall in or chase a toy in there when I'm gone, so I need some sort of ramp that I can hang from the side of the spa.
Any suggestions??
Thanks!
We bought the one from Paws Aboard, I had to fab some different mounts for our boat because it didn't fit our ladder, worked out better anyway because then we could use the ladder still. Here's their link...
http://www.pawsaboard.com/ladder.asp
They are available at a lot of stores, Overtons, Boaters World, West Marine. About $200 but with a 130 lb. dog, it's worth every penny!
Wish my weenie dogs liked the water.

Mine actually dives into the pool!! He chases toys in there all of the time and actually gets in and out by himself on hot days!!! I would be crushed if I lost him because he couldn't get out of the spa :(

These things are neat, but I think he's looking for something for his spa...
Whatever works is fine by me at this point. I can't find any other options and I'm not sure how to install it in my spa without it floating away??
I wouldn't want to rely on a ladder if I am not there and the dog fell in. Another alternative is to get one of those Pool Net Covers. You can get it for just the spa.
I have a two year old son and a white german shepard. The dog loves the pool. Goes in all year round. Got the cover for the kid, but we were kinda worried about the dog getting stuck. Better stuck then dead. Anyways, he doesn't even try and go in the pool with it on.
Just a thought....
Wish mine did.

just put one on a new 26 deck we built the thing and it looks great. We built for DREJUSTICE on the boards he should have the boat this week so maybe he can show the thing in use.

That is awesome!
ive made 2 in the last few weeks,one is complete,the other is for jbnsocal.Its made from marine grade plastic,it hinges in 2 place for easy storage.Im still early on in fabrication of these,making a few changes etc for easy mounting and proper floatation.If your intersested I can take few pictures,I have one in my garage that ive been using.We have a magic deck and a 80pd dry lab...steve
I actually ended up teaching my dog how to get out of the spa by himself (see first post) but that thing is awesome!!
One of the best ramps I found.http://www.dogramp.com/dogRamp_Comparison.php And there is this http://www.divendog.com/
My Cocker Spaniel fell in the pool last night :eek: It was about 2:30 am and I heard a "splash", went to investigate and there she was clinging to the edge. :jawdrop: I know she fell in because she doesn't like the water...I think she was sleeping near the edge of the pool and rolled over and fell in. Had to call her to the steps so she could get out. I swear my other dog was standing there laughing at her. I don't think she'll be sleeping near the edge anytime soon.
I saw one in an Overtons or Westmarine catalogue. May want to check their websites.
