Michimich.com/10337340

PITTSFORD, Mich. - Michimich -- If your dogs love the water as much as you do, making sure your dock is canine-friendly should be a top priority. Before you head out for a day on the lake with your four-legged copilot, here's what you need to know about dog-safe accessories and building materials.

Dog-Friendly Accessories

Dock End Bumpers – Cover open dock ends with bumpers to prevent accidental slips into the water. They come in a range of colors, so you can add a little personality while keeping your pup safe.

Stairs – Give your dog a safe way to get in and out of the water. Made in the USA for strength and durability, dock stairs are a must-have for any dog-friendly setup.

Safety Corners – Smooth out sharp transitions with corner sections that let your dog move from the dock to platforms without jumping over open gaps, reducing the risk of injury.

Wood Decking – We hand-select premium lumber during construction, making sure boards are smooth and free of splinters and holes so your dog's paws stay comfortable.

Vinyl & Aluminum Decking – Both options feature built-in tread patterns that provide traction even when wet — no slippery surfaces, but still gentle on paws.

Faux Wood Decking – A maintenance-free option with powder-coated finish and added traction, perfect for dogs of all ages and activity levels.

Quality Cast Parts – Our cast aluminum components are built to resist bending, breaking, and slipping — even with the most enthusiastic dogs on board.

Quality Build – Every dock section is built with thick-walled aluminum center beams and side stringers, and weight-tested to ensure safety for the whole family (four-legged members included).
