5 Ways Every Day on the Water With Your Dog Just Got Easier
The ramp your dog uses to get in and out of the water on their own, so the whole day is easier. No lifting, no hauling 80 pounds of soaking-wet dog over the side. Most dogs figure it out the very first day.

No More Hauling a Wet, Squirming Dog Over the Side
You know the routine: lean over the side, grab a fistful of wet harness, brace, and heave. Then you feel it the next morning. The Pup Plank puts an end to it. Tie it to the boat and your dog walks out of the water on their own. No lifting, no grabbing, no wrecked back. It’s easier on their joints, too.
Your Dog Climbs Out on Their Own, Usually the First Day
Most dog ramps float on top of the water, so a paddling dog just claws at the edge and slips off. The Pup Plank works differently. Its entry sinks below the surface, with steps underwater where your dog’s paws can grab and a grippy top so they don’t slip. They walk up instead of scrambling, which is why most dogs figure it out the first time out. On the BOOST and LOUNGE, an extra patented step closes the gap up to tall pontoons and high docks.
So Solid Even a Nervous Dog Steps Right On
Pump it up and it goes rock-solid, just like a stand-up paddleboard. No wobble, no sag, no tipping when your dog climbs on and shakes off. That steadiness is what gets a hesitant dog to trust it and stop bailing off the side. The marine-grade shell shrugs off claws, sun, and salt or fresh water all season, backed by a 1-year warranty. Holds dogs up to 250 pounds, depending on the model.
Sets Up Fast, Then Packs Into a Bag
Pump it up in minutes, tie it to the built-in D-rings with the included ropes, and you’re set. No brackets, no install, no gear hogging the garage. When the day’s done, pull the valve, roll it up, and drop it in the trunk. At less than 10 pounds, it’s light enough to come along everywhere your dog goes.
The Same Ramp for the Boat, the Dock, and the Pool
One purchase covers the whole summer. Untie it from the boat, carry it to the dock, toss it in the pool. And between swims your dog will claim it as their own floating lounge, so it’s earning its keep even when nobody’s getting out of the water.

What Owners & Their Dogs Are Saying
★★★★★ 4.8 from 650+ ratings
“Best investment ever for our 130-lb baby.”
“Love it. Sturdy. Now our senior Golden can get in and out of the boat with ease, and she likes it!”
“I was skeptical at first, being an inflatable, but it performs as good or better than the advertisements claim. The dog loves it too!”
“It’s our 3rd year with the Pup Plank and every time it gets inflated we have one crazy lab. It gives us the safety of him getting on and off the boat without getting hurt. Love this brand.”
“A game changer for all four of our Chihuahuas! They can get themselves out of the water, so it’s less stressful for us. Can’t recommend it enough.”
“Works the way they advertise. We have a pontoon and the extra step up is perfect for my Labs.”
“Our 110-pound pup isn’t a water dog, but with the Boost he’s getting there. Getting him in the boat from the water is so much easier now.”
“Our pup Jack loves his Pup Plank as much as we do. We use it to get him in the boat and run the ropes through his life jacket to pull him around for exercise.”
“Parents no longer have to lift them back into the boat. The dogs jump in, use their steps, and walk back in with ease. Should have bought one sooner. Now we’ll never go without one again.”
