I am thinking that this would be great for my large dog at the beach - any thoughts?

it would definitely provide shade.... although despite the vent in the back, it didn't have a whole lot of air flow unless you were right near the front.

I had a 80lb lab in my hound about and it was a good size, not too much room to move around, which you don't want. I also had a piece of plywood cut to place under the pad for extra support, which I would recommend.

The large one should be great for her! I've found mine to be very durable (I've had it for about two years)

could be - we use it with larger dogs like pointers or Deutsch Drahthaar. They dont love it in the beginning, trying to shake it off, but then get used to it. Would be worth trying

I think it's fine to use with a large breed. I have a 8lb maltese. If your dog is trained to just go on the "grass pad" it should be fine. Some dogs like to be completely on the grass and go on circle first before they go- if that's the case you might need to buy a bigger one.

This sounds like the dog might be about the size of a Chihuahua. If so, I would say that this No-Sit Haunch holder might be too large.

Yes. I have a beagle mix who weights around 40 and it has lots of extra room when she is basking in the sun. :-)

Unfortunately I don't know how it is on the beach/sand. It's a great net and we travel with it a lot but haven't tried the beach yet. As long as you can get the posts in deep enough to secure it, I think it would work well. Good luck.

I think it would travel well. I will probably make a simple pillow slip-type washable to protect it. I got the 16 x 12 small one; it came folded in half so only takes up 8 x 12 in refrig. Dog is not trusting of it yet, but I think she will figure it out soon.

For a big dog is good, I have a schnauzer is too big for him so I'm not using, but for a lab will be great will help your dog and your back.

Hopefully this answer isn't coming too late. This went into my spam folder.I use mine on a 130lb Saint Bernard and supports about 1/2 of the area between her front and back legs, so this should give your dog pretty good support. And I believe the straps would be plenty long enough so you wouldn't have to crouch to walk with her. It's very well constructed.

I think it's great quality and ours went through a lot of abuse but we never had a dog in it. The price is great so it would be worth a try. If this doesn't hold up you might have to stick with a hard plastic pool.

We haven't taken it to the beach yet, but use it in the yard quite often!! It is really nice and can't imagine that it wouldn't work well at the beach too. Enjoy!! Just watch those crashing waves!!!

Unfortunately, I think it would be too small for your dog. My Cardi is about 25 lbs and she barely fits into it, either lengthwise or height-wise and I certainly wouldn't risk carrying her around it (however, she is not calm!) Other than size, it's pretty nicely padded and comfy for the person.

Actually, yes lol it's nice and soft. Make sure to get the big size though. Those are always good for the beach

You bet. Mine loves it and cries if left behind. I had my lazy 230lb husband and 70 lb lab on it last summer. I use a yoga mat although board is tough. I sit in low beach chair and use it as a kayak alot with the dog. She likes to walk around on it rather than sit still so stand up paddling is a balance exercise with her aboard!

This will be big enough in all likelihood, but not sturdy enough. A hyper puppy already that weight might try to use it as a backstop and jump on it when running around... I doubt it takes much of that sort of punishment.
