The best dog ladder built for boaters.

Stop lifting your wet dog back onto the boat. Let them climb up safely.

How it works

One install, a lifetime of easy exits from the water.

1. Mount it once

Three drilled holes on your swim platform, pontoon deck, or dock. Hardware included. About 30 minutes with a drill.

2. Deploy in seconds

Flip it down when the dogs are swimming, fold it flat when they're done. It stows at 24 by 17 inches — smaller than a cooler lid.

3. They climb aboard

Wide, grip-textured steps sit two-deep below the waterline, so dogs get real footing and walk themselves out. Most dogs learn it in three tries.

Marine-grade, dog-approved

Fiberglass rails and stainless hardware stand up to seasons of lake days and saltwater trips. The whole ladder weighs under 15 pounds — light enough for anyone on board to deploy.

“Game changing! Our Border Collie climbs it as easily as he climbs the stairs in our house.”

Give them their own way back aboard.

One ladder. Every swim, every season — no more wet-dog deadlifts.
