#Pool floats for dogs are available at Amazon

Dogs do everything with their humans these days — happy hour hangs, yoga, skateboarding — but what they really want to do this summer is chillax side-by-side in the pool. As the dog days approach, we’re happy to report, Amazon is offering a wide selection of pool floats that are specially designed for dogs. Now we know every dog is an individual with their own preferences, so we’ve sorted them to help you find Fido the perfect pool throne of his own. Dive in!

SwimWays

Paws and claws won’t damage the reinforced fabric covering on this baby. Jet valves make inflation a snap, and the inner spring around the edges helps keep your dog happily afloat. Plus, it folds flat to a third of its size for easy storage! This size is great for small and medium breeds up to 65 lbs. (Simply size up for over 65 lbs.)

These small and large spring floats are pawsitively awesome, according to 1,500+ five-star reviewers. “Best dog purchase ever,” wrote one fan who bought the small. “My dog would get mad in the summertime if we did not have this floatie out and ready in the pool for her! If it was on the deck, she would push it in. … She was apprehensive at first, but eventually loved it. She will even lay in it in the yard. She has jumped from the deck to the middle of the pool and landed on this; she has been swimming and clawed her way up into this as well. No rips, tears or leaks. She is 62 pounds.”

Snag the human version too!

Poolcandy

Pamper your pooch with a PoolCandy float, which features a squishy, inflatable floor. It lets the water in too, to keep them cool. This large, heavy-duty model holds up to 100 lbs. (It’s also available in small sizes in two styles: leopard and paw print.)

Some dogs prefer to buddy up. A happy pet parent shared: “My dogs love this float! I have an Australian Shepherd and a Frenchie. They play together on the float. I thought for sure that it wouldn’t last a week. To my surprise it has held up under rough play and dog claws. I’m very impressed!!!!!”

Milliard

This 60-inch-wide whopper can support up to 220 pounds of dogness. The heavy-duty vinyl is UV and puncture-resistant, and the tether means they’re always within reach. Plus, when you flip it over, this chill spot doubles as a drink cooler with space for five beverages.

This sturdy choice will create endless fun for your big dog. Want to see it in action? Check out the sweet pics from this shopper, who wrote: “I bought this for my 16-year-old husky to enjoy the lake since he loves to go but can’t keep up like he used to. Having it be stable and sturdy was very important to me for his safety! This float surpassed my expectations! It was big enough for my 50 lb 6 month puppy to fit with him and stable enough that the pup didn’t flip the float when getting up and down and jumping off of it, plus durable enough that their claws didn’t damage the material at all.”

BINGPET

They’ll make a splash atop their sweet new pink and purple ride, adorned with bones and paw prints. The 60-inch long float can hold up to 100 lbs, and is made of durable PVC material. Also available in blue.

Good luck getting them off of this thing… “I think I’ve created a monster,” wrote a five-star reviewer. “Every time I get in the pool, my dogs cry for me to get them in the raft and float them around the pool. LOL.”

KUCDBUN

Go all out without breaking the bank with this pool set for your little pumpkin. It includes an inflatable raft with a palm tree (how cute is that) plus water toys, a collapsible dog bowl and three wacky drink floats for you. And don’t miss the rainbow version!

When your little one needs a vacay, this Insta-ready set is a great choice. “This may change your dogs life,” wrote a grateful shopper. “Amazingly solid and stable. Resists the sun well and most of all it might just change your dog’s life. My little yellow dog was an anxious wreck. But just one session relaxing in the pool was all it took and she was hooked. She begs to get in now. I’ve never seen this dog take a solid 20 seconds to relax. It’s either worried or asleep. But in the pool she is a different dog.”
