Kayaking can be an enjoyable way to connect with water-loving dogs. Before setting out on this exciting voyage with Fido in tow, however, you will require an appropriate kayak (and life jackets!).
Joe Nutkins of Dog Training for Essex & Suffolk provided us with advice regarding which kayaks were ideal for canines. Sit-on-top style kayaks feature an open seating area atop their vessel as opposed to having an enclosed cockpit for maximum space savings and comfort for your pet.
Nutkins told The Spruce Pets that expanding surface area allows for flexible seating arrangements and space for your pup to readjust their position if the kayak were to capsize.
Perception Hangtime 11 Kayak is our top pick for dog kayaking, offering ample storage space and adjustable seating that’s adjustable as your pet grows. Plus, its 350-pound capacity and large front deck make it suitable for pups of virtually every size!
