It's just so nice not to have to worry about them drowning!!! Skamper-Ramp is a perfect "water escape" for Yorkies--and even works with most boats and docks (but you have to get the large size so it breaks the water surface). I'd still get the flotation vest for open water, but the ramp makes it easier for them to get out of the water--and you don't have to lean over the side of the boat to lift them out.

It works because animals see the ramp (white) breaking the surface of the water and leading out. So whereever they are in the pool, they paddle over to it and just climb out. Fun pictures and even a little movie on their website.
