items My absolute favorites for my black labs when we go to the lake or pool! We spend a majority of our weekends in the summer at the lake and weekdays in the pool so I've spent my far share finding the best products that they love and are worth the money...

my favorite pool and lake floats and other accessories for big dogs like my labrador retrievers
#1 must-have if you take your dog to the lake! Love it so much we have 2!! One for the dock and one for the swim platform that is ancorhed out in 25 foot deep water! Can be attached to so many different things to make it easier for your dog to enjoy ...
SOLSTICE Inflatable Dog Float Ramp Ladder
no need to worry about your dog popping this! This hammock is filled with tiny foam pellets like a bean bag so you dont have to worry about air leaks and it is sturdy enough for my 95 pound black lab to play on during our pool hangouts
Big Joe Kona Hammock Pool Lounger 4ft
Use this on the pool steps for the dogs to get into the pool since the steps are kinda steep! Originally bought this for post-op recovery when Brechen had his TPLO over a year ago and it's something we use all the time still with the pool!
PetSafe Happy Ride Folding Portable Dog Ramp
Even though I have black labs who are bred to swim, I still have them wear vest some days if the water is choppy or I know were gonna be put longer because they don't know when to take a break and I use the fin as an added layer of visibilty because ...
AOFITEE Shark Dog Life Vest XL, High Flotation
love using a whistle for recall so I don't have to try and be heard over the noise of the waves and or boats going by!
ACME Alpha 210.5 Dog Training Whistle Lime
toys
my repeat buy floating toys for the lake and the pool for my retrievers!
This is hands down my favorite toy for the lake! Easy to throw and see in the water and its thin so they don't swallow too much water after they retrieve the boomerang!
Chuckit! Amphibious Boomerang Dog Toy
second fav water toy to always keep on hand! The rope allows you to get good height on it! but it is a thicker toy so they're mouths are more open and they can take on more water
Chuckit Amphibious Bumpers
love how cute the fabdog turtle floatie is! It is nice to mix it up and have a fun little pool toy
Turtle Floatie by Fab Dog
very similar to the fabdog floatie! love a fun animal themed pool toy!
Outward Hound Floatiez Stingray Dog Toy Large
grooming
having dogs that LOVE to swim comes with extra care to keep their ears free from infections and their skin free from hotspots
Always gets packed in my lake bag! So easy to throw on the dogs after a swim to get a majority of the water off their coats and then it's super easy to rough dry them and get the rest off!
Geyecete Dog Drying Coat - Microfibre Bathrobe XXXL
my favorite ear cleaner for labradors! I keep this on hand at all times!! They get their ears flushed after swimming and diving underwater as much as they do and we've had no ear infections this summer!
VIRBAC Epi-Otic Advanced Ear Cleaner for Dogs & Cats, 4 ...
Love the zoom groom! I love running it through their coats after a rough dry to get any of that loose undercoat out before they go inside and blow their coat everywhere
KONG Dog ZoomGroom Multi-Use Brush, Boysenberry
my favorite towels ever! I sometimes forget to bring their robes so will use these waffle knit microfiber towels and man oh man do they work well! They are so light weight but absorb soooo much water! Have swapped all towels in the house to these waf...
