Amazon.com Review
Make water play more fun for a less-than-spry pet with this floatation kit designed for the PetSTEP pet ramp. Simple to use, the kit's buoys attach to the ramp, so that one end of it floats. This allows pets to enter and exit boats, swimming pools, and bodies of water with less pain and chance for injury. The set includes two 20-inch inflatable buoys, two eyebolts, two extenders, and four fiddle screws. Assembly is straightforward and quick. Durably constructed, the buoys can also double as hazard markers, crab pot buoys, or play balls. All the necessary hardware is included with the kit, though you must supply the tie cord. --Emily Bedard

 It works fine August 4, 2008
I'd read a negative review of the flotation kit, but I knew someone who had used it successfuly. It is now attached semi-permanently to the end of our dock, and our 70-lb. labradoodle loves coming up and down it when she retrieves balls and goes swimming.
 A poor design July 28, 2004

The floatation kit is a very poor design. The kit consists of two floats, 4 thumb screws and 2 metal bars with holes that match up to holes on the Petstep II ramp.
1. The floats are not designed for this purpose, and there is no instructions as to how to install them on the metal bars, and no hardware is provided for that purpose. The appropriate d-ring hardware would cost $1.50 if it was included. The floats are very difficult to inflate and even more difficult to deflate. Each float is 20 inches diameter - very very large. In fact too large as the ramp was only 2 inches below the surface of the water.
2. The metal bars that extend the floats out from the end of the ramp are too lightweight, they bent under the weight of my 50lb dog making the ramp unusable on own first attempt. The bars are also very sharp on two edges, I cut my hands three times while assembling the ramp in the water. It is all way too big to assemble on my 23' boat.
3. The whole assembly is very unstable, even on my extended swim platform which is only 8 inches above the water level on a calm day.
I do not recommend this item until it has been redesigned.
I will return mine immediately.
