Do you want to kayak with your dog? We tried out some inflatable kayaks to see how well they work for traveling with dogs. In this video, we do a side-by-side comparison of the Intex Challenger K2 and the Intex Explorer K2. Both are two person inflatable kayaks.
Inflatables are great for us as we travel with our dogs, as they are easily stored in our 5th wheel.
Here are the links for the equipment used:

I can add that the K1 is fine for a terrier sized dog. The two person model is fine, but there is room in the K1 for a small dog riding just fine above one's legs. Its nice to provide a towel to keep claws from scratching the vinyl, and for comfort.

I use old yoga mats to line the inside of the kayak. But we've used ours all summer with the dogs jumping in and out all over them, and haven't had a air leak so far! Love to see your adventure pics - share in our FB group "Keep Your Paws on the Road" see description for link

Id say the intex explorer is good for cruising/touring and stuff and the intex challenger is good for racing and stuff because it goes really fast but I don't like that the fronts and the backs of the challenger are kind of bent down but a good kayak for sporting stuff from what I saw

Hi! Can I ask what brand of dog life vest that is and why your dog needs one?
@mcsdog
@mcsdog 2 года назад
The doggie life jacket is made by Coleman - link to the product is in the description of the video. Our dogs are both great swimmers, but just like us, they wear life jackets when we kayak or paddleboard. If they fall in, it's extra security in case they get swept away by the current. With Heidi, it's also very helpful to fish her out of the water, since there is a little handle on the top :)
@robertd9850
@robertd9850 2 года назад
On Amazon it says the Challenger K2 only supports 220 lbs. which would seem to make it unusable for two adults.
@mcsdog

Why does your dog need a life jacket?
@mcsdog
@mcsdog 2 года назад
Just like people, it's recommended for water sports. Even when the dog is a good swimmer, the current might take them and the life vest can save their lives.

@mcsdog

Both our dogs swim well, but when you are out all day they can get tired from playing and it's a good idea to have one just in case they fall off and get swept away by current.
