Is this kayak sturdy enough for my dog to ride with me?

Sturdy yes but watch the dogs nails, seats and bottom seem like thinner materials.sides seem pretty thick

Yes, depending on the size of the dog of course. I use it with my 15lb dog and he has no problems. His nails don't puncture it even when he climbs all over the edges. His favorite seat is perched at the front, on top of the spray cover. He's jumped off it before without problems or scratches. I do keep an outside blanket (with plastic on the back) to line the floor for him to sit on, just to be careful.

I don't think the material is strong enough to be sure a dog wouldn't puncture it.

I would not recommend it unless the dog is small and you cover the floor with a towel to help prevent claw punctures. Hope this helps.

Pretty sturdy material. Never had any lroblem when rocks scraped the bottom and Its not cheap plastic like a pool toy would be. That being said I don't have claws like a dog so im not totally sure how a k9 would do as copilot

It should hold the weight easily. I weigh 230 and often use the rig with a kayak on it as a seat. The secret will be adding another tie down to the rig to secure the first kayak. If not added even for a single kayak the kayak will tend to move around. Then I would secure the second kayak with either strong bungee cords or some other adjustable tie downs.

Absolutely. I ride in it with my preschooler, which means, one person in charge plus some (wiggly) extra weight. A downside to this kayak is that it sits high on the water, so very high profile and can be hard to control in wind -- maybe more of an issue for a single rider/paddler (just one set of arms to resist). But a cinch, on the other hand, to drift down a calmish but shallow river, as the boat sits so high it passes over things that catch other kayaks.

Yes, I think you could use this kayak. I weigh 235, and there is still plenty ofroom plus I sit way above the water level. I think it is rated for up to 350 lb.

We use it for a 47lb kayak and a 75 lb pirogue. The pirogue shifts a little bit but it has a flat bottom. If it holds the pirogue, i'm guessing it would hold a 2 man kayak but I wouldn't want to use it for really long distances. The hardest part is strapping the kayak to the cart. The buckle on the strap that comes with it broke the first time we used it but you can use ratchet straps to secure it to the cart. The straps need to be tight or else the kayak will shift around/twist and you'll have to stop and re-position and re-strap. Still better than carrying it by far.

It is pretty sturdy. I can ride it, at 120lbs. My husband has taken it for a few runs as well, at 170lbs. Not sure how long that will last, but it sure is fun!

I did not use this kayak yet. But I can try with my cats. I wonder if your dog is big?

I would say Yes that a dog of any size would have difficulty climbing onto this board due to the thickness. The dog may not be able to get enough leverage to pull itself up out of the water.

I am sure it would although it may be more trailer than you would need for a kayak. I believe it will hold up to 600 lbs. Make sure that you take note of the tires as they are not speed rated for the freeway which I learned after I had purchased the trailer.

It's very sturdy. I can stand and walk on it no problem and my son is 105 lbs and he tides bikes and skateboards on it. It would certainly hold a large dog.

yes, for sure. It's pretty sturdy. I have two 10 pounders and they both play on it. However, neither of them go on the top seat, don't know why. I'm very happy with this one, it's much better than store models

Yes. I use it to run with my large dog and it's very sturdy. I feel very confident that he's not going to snap it and get away!!

I weight 200 pounds and my dog is 45# and it's ok on very calm days only. I actually bought a larger kayak.

It is pretty sturdy. My dog did chew the handle off in a matter of a few days but the rest is in great shape and I would recommend this for any pet.

I would think so. We put our Huskies on it, it's very sturdy. The only thing though that we found out is its not big enough for our 2yr old Huskies. It's good for small to medium size dogs.

I would recommend a cart with a larger wheel base. Even with my kayak unloaded it can be a touch unstable on even normal terrain. A good cart but definitely would recommend a wider based cart for the sun fish

Yes! I have 2 10 pound Shihtzus and they ride comfortably together! I love it!! Easy to put together and easy to fold down and open up! My girls love their ride!
