My wife and I want to buy an inflatable to use while we are looking for a

I know about PFD's, and overheating and plenty of water but was wondering if
her nails could puncture the Hypalon tubes.

How sharp are your dog's nails? I've taken my dogs in my PVC Zodiac
with no problems. There's no way their nails or anything else are going
to puncture the PVC and hypalon is supposed to be even more durable. A
cat might have a better chance with it's sharp claws.

Also any comments or suggestions or any other issues we should be aware of
from someone who has done this?

Hope they don't get seasick?
