A pet ramp such as the  Skamper Ramp can be a lifesaver in getting animals in and out of swimming pools and is great in assisting pets in their travels from boat to dock and shore.  The Skamper Ramp is the perfect escape ramp in the event should your pet fall into your pool or spa.  Pets can scamper up the perforated ramp to safety!  Simply keep the ramp tied to the side of your pool (hardware and rope included).  The lightweight ribbed plastic ramp floats atop the water until needed.  For convenience the Skamper Ramp simply flips out of the water when not needed.

For those who live on farms and ranches you can anchor the regular Skamper Ramp in livestock/equine water troughs so that any critters that might fall in when going for a drink or swim have a means of escape and won't drown and pollute the water as they decay.  This means there is one less chore for the busy farmer/rancher and peace of mind that there is clean critter-free water for animals to drink.
