Are inflatable or hardshell kayaks better for kayaking with a dog?
It is a matter of personal preference. An inflatable kayak is easy to transport which can be good for dog parents that also need to walk their dog to the water's edge of a leash. Additionally, they tend to be more comfortable for dogs to lie in for a longer length of time. However, some dogs may prefer the stability of a hardshell kayak. Furthermore, a hardshell kayak can handle a dog's claws better.
