The SportDog 350 is waterproof down to 25 feet. This is true for the device that goes on the dog and the device you hold in your hand.My lab swims almost every day and there has been no problems at all.

Yes definitely - it's waterproof - I've got my dog swimming in a lake all the time with it on

My dog swims in the lake with his on with no problem. I do take it off and let it dry and brush off any sand or debris when he comes in.

We bought two of these collars and they both quit working about 2 months after we bought them. One quit working about two weeks after the first one did. They are pieces of junk dont buy them.

I'm guessing it should be the battery is held in place by a screw about the size of a dime. But doubt that the controller is waterproof. Also the zap when you use it is just supposed to go thtough where the contacts touch the dog. Water is a conductor of electricity and I'm sure you don't want the whole dog getting zapped.

The tag gave us no trouble, but I have read that others have had some. We positioned the height of the bowl so that it stayed outside the bowl while our dog was eating. I would think that the tag would have to come off the collar to swim, but have not had any experience with that. Love the bowl. It keeps our "swiper" dog out of our other dog's bowl and has saved us a lot of monitoring and refilling food bowls.

Honestly, my dogs work in the swamp conditions and it still works. Waterproof, I dont know but it has withstood minimum water. I hope this helped!

I doubt it, the on/off button battery pack isnt a closed box so water would get in.I take mine off my dogs when swimming & dont put them back on until the dogs are dry

My dog fell in the pool earlier this summer and after fishing him out, I immediately removed the collar, dried it off and we had no problems. He also loves to play in dirt, roll in wet grass, etc. and we've had no issues. But that is the extent that we have tested out the "waterproof" feature. :)

My friend has a dog that goes in a swampy area with it on.... Probably not swimming....

I have taken it swimming, and took photos under water - not for a long time and probably only two feet below the surface. If we could have held our breath longer and stopped laughing - the photos would have turned out better. It captured bubbles, expressions, and images in a deep, dark pond. And, it still works. Also us it a lot to take pictures when skiing. We always pack a second battery, just in case.

These pack will not flop around when they run. I have two dogs, both run full on and it fits then well and doesn't flop around on either of them. It does not hinder there movement, not even when going to the bathroom. I don't recommend them swimming with it on, but the pack does detach from the harness, via velcro, so that at stops you can remove it for a rest or swim.

If he/she has a life jacket on the dog will float. I would strongly advise that you NOT hook the orange cord or anything else to the jacket as this could be very dangerous for your precious cargo. The cord could get tangled on something very quickly and you might not be able to rescue the dog. I only tell you this because I have a lot of experience with dogs. We use the cord as a tie out for our 80 lb labs when we are camping.

im not sure but i would think so as long as it is warm enough the water doesnt freeze and i would make sure it is pluged into a ground wouldnt want to have a dog get shocked and check the wiring periodically to make sure they didnt chew it and it is still in great shape but i would see no problem using it outside

unfortunately, my dog hasn't had the need to have the collar submerged in water since i live in the city and my dog doesn't come into contact with any type of water submergen in the winter time. right now, he has only worn it in the rain with no problem and wallowing his neck in the snow so i really can't say. Sorry.

In my experience, it has been water resistant but not water PROOF. I accidentally let my dog swim with the collar on and had to let it dry out before it worked again.

Should work. It washes well and fluids don't go through. If the dog just leaks a bit rather than letting it all go at once you should be fine. If the volume is high, you may get pooling and puddles.

I use it on my lab whenever he is outside and he lives to swim. Just make sure the rubber plug that covers the charging hole is in tightly.

It is not water tight so it would short out if it was outside. Works great inside. I have been using it for 2.5 years with 10 hour work days with no problems.

You could make it work, but one problem I see is you will constantly be refilling it for that size animal. If that is not a problem, then you would be ok. I don't know how much water your dog needs, but if you were to leave for a couple of days he might drink it dry, which is not good for him, nor for your pump which you can ruin by running it out of water. Hope this helps.
