Is this a good pool for dogs? I have a Redbone Coonhound puppy and he needs some water to splash in!

The liner is fairly thick but his nails, if very long, might puncture it. Would be great other than that.

They claim it is. It is NOT! Not even a good pool for kids. Incredibly cheap. Do yourself a favor, skip this one and get a hard molded plastic type. They can be found in most major retail stores and probably on sale because we are well past 4th of July. I have one of these for my big yellow lab.

CHEAP! CHEAP! CHEAP! Very poor construction, very cheap materials, terrible design.

I bought it for my 4 dachshunds and they love it. It takes a lot of water so I'd keep a tarp over it to keep dirt out because it sucks to clean (it's so big). I might fear his nails might cut the bottom because it's rubber. And he might splash water out if he jumps on hve sides because that's how you drain the pool. However, it's a great pool and you could get into with your dog! Just make sure you check it for damage right away. Amazon is usually really good but mine had a tear from the factory I believe. But no one else has complained so it seems it's not common

Good day Veronica. The Bone Pool is excellent for wading and normal playing by you dog. The bottom is pretty scratch proof.As for chewing, anything will wear if it is chewed enough. Get your dog some chew bones. This product is made similarly like the heavy material that lines pick-up trucks. Hope this is of help to you.

Yes. I believe so. My Rottweiler ' s both had a blast and one is 160 pounds and the other is 130. I expected the pool to be disposable. But dang if that pool didn't last ALL summer long.

Yes, water comes in thru the two holes. Also when pup jumps in and out! Very sturdy. Our 90 lb rottie loves it!

It's too small. Look at the Drinkwell Big-Dog Pet Fountain. It holds 2.5 gallons of water. I'd also get the 70 oz drink reservoir. Good luck!!

have you considered the hard kiddie pools? much cheaper. I have had one for 13 years, got it at Toys R Us. The rubber stopper finally broke off so now we use a wine cork in it....lol. The lab loves his pool and only drinks his water while standing IN IT. ours stays up all year.

I used this in my kennel for a 3 year old boston terrier and a 6 year old pug, they would run through the water maybe between 3-4 days.also, it does leak a little bit, so a small bowl or rag underneath the nozzle can help with that, leaks more at first and then settles into a small drip every now and then.

From everything i found, and after using it for about a year... there is no damage to dogs, no weird sounds to humans, and it is a miracle worker.....Just... DONT LET IT GET WET. Seems to have a problem being left out in the elements but if you put something like a piece of plastic over it you should be fine.

You will love it! I have a lab mix and 2 greyhounds and they all line for me to dry their feet and body off! I have never dried them from a bath where they are soaking wet. I have one spot in my yard where the water collects from all the rain we have had and they get muddy and it just absorbs all the mud and the water. When I first got it I really didn't expect much but I was very pleased with how well it worked and you don't have to use a bunch of your towels. I use one for all three dogs. It usually takes me about 5 minutes a dog to get them cleaned up! They like the massaging and stand there for more (It has pockets on each end you can put your hands in and cover more territory. I would think it would take you a little longer to dry your golden off but at least he/she won't be dripping through the house. I've washed mine about 25 times now and it still looks new! I hope that helps you decide - good luck! Betty Parks

I have two German Shepherds and one leaks water all over the joint while the other one does not...The Dogit will not change the way your dog drops water but it is the greatest water solution I have ever seen. You should get extra filters for sure when you purchase it as I have to change theirs about once every two weeks.

To be honest, we've never had any spillage, but we have a cat. I know dogs can be a little more rambunctious when drinking from their water bowls. The waterline stays about an inch from the top. We love this water fountain. Our cat loves it too. Probably not the answer that will help you the most. Good luck!

I watered quite a bit at the beginning of the summer and it did OK, but in August I gave up and it turned brown like everyone else's. With the rain the past two weeks, it has perked back up again and is nice and green. It is not a "golf course" quality but it is fine. I am not going to opine re :4 dogs (that is a lot of dog), but my cat has been happy with it.

We have two dogs and it hasn't been an issue. Could depend in breed of dog too. Love the pool! Also bought a salt water chlorinator from Amazon - keeps the water clear with no hassle.

not an issue but some dogs can be a little intimidated by the sound and moving water; give them time and I suspect they'll come around; good luck

I think it should work well! I've not gotten the liner itself wet before but it is seriously grippy. Your pup should be fine!

The opening is very small, I think it would prevent your dog from trying to splash around. The unit, however, is not very durable and it became discolored and fell apart very quickly. The black paint chips off and leaves a residue in the water.

Had mine for over a year and it's been in sun everyday. It's for my 3-100 lb dogs to use as a pool. Looks same today as it did the day I bought mine. It's tough and holds up in the heat.
