will the product material hold up to use by a 93 LB lab who LOVES running through these types of tunnels?

No, not in my opinion. A dog this large could'nt even stand inside to run through it.

material is strong parachute fabric but tunnel is probably only big enough for border collie, australian shepherd sized dogs.

As fosbury said, it is interwoven mesh, and my gerbil boys have never had an issue with it. It's good traction for climbing too.

It is made of poly cloth type of material so it is definitly more durable than the tunnel.

Well, I can't tell you for sure because my lab doesn't scratch the bed, but I can tell you that I have been impressed with all of the materials including the cover. It's a pretty tough material, so my guess is that so long as you kept up with your dog's nails, that you would be okay for a good while.

I bought it for my 14.5 year old lab who had hip problems. It took me pulling and my sister pushing to get her up the ramp. That said, I think a healthy dog would use it after a few trials. The ramp has a non slip surface which should give them assurance.

My dog is currently 95lbs and runs a little large for the kit, but it still functions- you just have to put more focus on the training, etc. The tunnel and the hoop are small. If you are just beginning to train on an large adult dog, I would say purchase sturdier equipment. I originally got the kit when mine was a puppy so he knows to be careful his it vs. his size at this point.

Yes it's durable. A dog's claws probably wouldn't poke thru walking across. My cat does scratch and knead it and that does mess it up :)

Hmmm. I wrote the owner of the company today with my review that he should offer a canvas cover for dogs like your and my female 110# Great Dane who dig. I do not think the cover will withstand much dig action. Maybe they will make a sturdier cover? Otherwise, you can always make your own out of duck cloth. You can get it in any fabric store. Good luck! P

Absolutely there are deep groves running thru it and tha material is like fire hose, strong but not hard. If she likes deflated soccer balls this will be great. I know my GSD loves it. Remember though you have to throw it as it won't fit in any chuckit launcher. Have fun :0)

We used this on our 98lb Lab with great success. It worked very well for us and it is stiff enough to stay open.

My dog was 8 years old at the time I bought it. The problem I had was that my dog was so well trained she would only go outside, nowhere else, not even the patio, it had to be outside. So if your dog is the same way, you may have the same problem. I'm not sure what the "run" material is made of, but if it's anything other than real grass then this will probably work fine.

I have 2 Siberean Forest Cats...i also have 2 of these tunnels.....they both LOVE THEM!!...after 5 years the material the wraps around the metal wire has torn a bit... But they have never played with anything so consistently.

It should be fine. Our Lab puppies love them. It's about five inches long. Our Lab puppy is seven months old and it's still in good shape. They like the texture of it.

It's a pretty tough fabric. Unless he's actually clawing at it or digging on it it should be fine. It's hard to answer this question except to say I think it will be fine. I have a 90lb rottie that has been using it for over 2 years. She doesn't claw at it or mess with it though. I also put an old comforter I had on it. A dog certainly could destroy this though if it wanted to, but it's not going to happen by accident.

We have a 105 lb. chocolate Lab that runs through the door with no problem at all. It's a nice door, seems sturdy and does keep the cold out even below 0.

I don't think it would over a prolonged period of time. It's a sturdy cover but I put a fleece blanket over it mostly because my 90 lb. lab likes the extra warmth.

It will probably hold up, but if your dog has long nails, they can get caught on and possibly tear the lining. The mesh is pretty durable, but still it could happen.
