Floaties that are designed specifically for dogs are designed to be claw resistant. Those that are designed primarily for human use may not be quite as resistant. Check the materials that are used in their construction and look for those that are made from heavy duty vinyl and which state they are durable and hardwearing. It is a good idea to check your dog’s claws for sharp edges before they use the pool float and check the float for marks, weak points, and holes at the end of every swimming session.\r
