would this 50 gallon capacity structural foam tank be suitable for a large dog?

Yes! My dogs weigh 75 and 125 pounds and fit easily in this tank with room for them to turn around so we can wash them completely. The tank is structurally very strong and there is no bending or twisting of the material. It's as strong as a thick steel tank and will last forever even out in the elements.

We use it with our 50 lb dog so while it might work, it might be a little heavier gauge than you need.

I think it would be fine. We have a bigger tank for our ball python and this works fine

I am using it in a 50 gallon tank. I think the next size would be best if going any larger than this.

Yes, I think so--if you don't fill it too full. We overstuffed it, but I do think it would work for a 30 pound dog. Not sure about the durability with a dog, however.

I believe so. You can purchase a conversion kit that allows you to hook it up to a larger tank. I am not sure of the specs that may be necessary.But you will find others on here who have done it easily. That done - perfect set up!

This may be too large for your need. It will hold much more than a cup of kibble.

I would not recommend for big dogs. I have a mastiff and the water spills into the base and gets the food wet so we don't even store the food in the bottom anymore. Unless you stay on top of cleaning the top, it warps It is tough but no longer attractive and not useful

I have a 12lb Italian Greyhound pup that's been using it since I obtained him (4 months) and based on my experience I will say it's based I how your dog does his business. Most of times, he shoots and scores and sometimes his aim is quite off. Yes, I am referring to his bathroom visits:)So yes, this urine system maybe wide and long enough to accommodate you 50 pounder but accidents may occur despite frequent use. That being said, I would buy it again.

The weight limit for the top of this unit is only 50lbs. I would assume a 40 gallon fish tank would exceed that, but I don't really have any knowledge of the weight on that. Sauder recommends that you stay within the weight and dimensional guidelines listed on their products. Thank you.

Absolutely! This was recommended to me by a friend who works in an animal hospital & is the very reason I ordered the one for large dogs.

It DOES depend on the width of the muzzle. Our 50-pound coonhound needs a large.

My dog is about 45 pounds and she fills it up. I would go up a size for a 65 pound dog.

Any large dog will benefit from this bed. The bed is excellent for dogs over 50 lbs bc it has a very firm support base layer. To get the proper size, measure you dog nose to tail and the base if his neck to the floor. Add 5-10 inches to each measurement so your dog has enough room to stretch out and lounge. He'll also thank you as he grows!

Yes it's the large one. I have a GSP, ~50 lbs. I have to put a piece of foam underneath in order to not bottom out on a hard surface. For a slightly smaller dog I would recommend it.

I use it for a 50lb bag of large kibble & still have room left over. It tapers & gets a little bigger toward the top.

A standard 20 lb tank stands upright inside the unit. It actually lasts quite long. I don't believe it will fit anything larger.
