SOLSTICE ORIGINAL Inflatable Pup Plank Series Floating Dog Water Ramp Float Ladder For Boats Pools & Docks | Ladders & Steps For Swimming Pets To 220 Pounds | Claw Friendly & Storable For Large Dogs

Great value for the money. We bought this last year and never got to use it. We got it for our dogs to get on and off our Bennington Tri-toon while we are out on the water. It is a little low for getting on the front of our boat but, our 55 lbs. dog climbs right up. We originally got it for our Mastiff, but she passed away last year and we don’t think she would have been able to use it because of her size. Oh, it would definitely support her weight, but it does bob around in the water so it would have been difficult. Still, a great purchase.

I love the new boost Pupplank. The extra height is just what I needed for my boat. Had the older model and it needed this.However, the new air pump that came with it is either defective or poorly designed. The adapter needed for airing the pupplank will not stay attached. The knob and notches that are intended to hold it attached don’t match up

To start, we have a Newfoundland, he’s about 110lbs. We originally purchased the yellow version of this and it worked well for a season but we noticed that Ruger was struggling to make it up on our pontoon with the height difference between the plank and the deck so I did some research and came across this. From the photos it looks like it would be exactly the same but it seems the ramp area is a little thinner than the original, which makes it hard for the wide loads, AKA, our dog. Something we can work around I guess. The real problem is, this claims to be claw friendly but we’ve literally used it twice and the grey textured part is already torn up from claws where the dogs struggle to go in and out. I would like to say it’s just our dog and he’s dense but my sister’s dog and our second dog (Bernese Mountain Dog) both had the same problem. At this point, we have purchased two pup planks and can use neither. The first can’t be used because of the height difference, it’ll be hard on his joints and the second because the ramp is thinner and it’s certainly not claw friendly. If I can find a way to secure the extra step to the original, we may be able to make it work but even then, little silly to pay $600 on two planks just to use one part from the most expensive one when that part could easily just be sold separately. Not a happy camper.

For the price (sometimes $100-200 over original plank) I’m not sure it’s worth this. That being said, these are well crafted for their purpose. Opted for the boost because the tritoon sits higher out of the water and the smaller dogs may need the step. After watching the price fluctuate between $313 and $400, we found an Amazon warehouse deal for $320. After inspection, the deflate valve just had a bit of debris keeping it from closing. The included tool allowed for disassemble to clean valve and now works great. However the original or the xl are the best value and the additional cost for the step is over priced in my opinion.

I bought this when unsure of dock access on lake vacation. No beach access, so this was a saving grace for my 2 labs, 60 & 70 lbs to use to climb up on dock. I ended up keeping it level & not needing the step-up, but nice to have based on height needed. My swimmer figured it out easily after I helped direct her. A little struggle for both at mesh part in water, but I assisted with lifting their strap on back of life vests I had on both pups. It support one at a time well. Floppy with 2 on it, but that is because they were moving constantly to edge. Great thick product/durable with great inflation device and nozzles. Did not take long to inflate& folded up easy with nice carrier bag included. Pricey, but sooo glad I bought it.
