Not worth the money, bottom splitted on 2nd use :(
Used more by us than the dog!
We have a black lab and in the extreme heat of this summer decided to buy this pool in which to cool her down. Whilst she loves water and goes into every river / lake / cattle trough possible, and she will jump into this pool quite happily, she does not lie or sit in the water nor stay in there for any longer than she has to! So I think we will be using it more than her! Having used the pool just twice, the velcro on the cover came off - which we didn't think was very good for a £50 product!

Our black lab absolutely loves this pool, we went for the biggest as we have a puppy on the way and my other half has also tried it out!! Strong, hard wearing and easy to clean, it is well worth the money.

Didn’t last long
The bottom ripped after only being used twice, was quite expensive too. Wish I’d just bought a hard plastic one

Leaks at the empty valve
Easy pool to put up and store the only thing is that once the pool is filled it drips water at the empty valve

Lasted 15minutes
On opening and setting up it looked reasonably strong and sturdy. However my German Shepherd ripped the side out within 15 minutes when I went to the fridge.

Disappointed
Very disappointed in this product. At first was great but the sides have started to collapse in. Have only had it out for a couple of week. Dog hasn't attacked it in anyway. The pool looks very sorry for itself!

Great Pool for my Mastiffs
I have bought so many plastic pools and they did not last a day where the dogs toenails went through the plastic base. But this pool has been great no holes yet so I am very pleased as my mastiffs love paddling in this in the summer. it also has a cover . I bought the XL size.

Great product, I have the largest one as have NEWFOUNDLANDS. It is plenty big enough for one and at a squeeze two newfies to lie down. Don't know how long it will last but is thicker than the usual pools

Brilliant fun for the dogs
I purchased the large my three German Shepherds love it. Plenty big enough,
Brilliant pool
This is great, and very sturdy construction my dog. Loves it. Large one plenty big enough for 2 dogs. Def recommend.
Fragile
We bought one of these for our Golden Retreiver. Fundamentally it is a good idea. However the base is fragile to the dogs claws, and our Goldie has not got long or sharp claws at that. I am now on my fourth repair of base after he did a stretch in it. It really needs extra reinforcement in the base, either extra thick tarpaulin material or similar. I'm going to have a look in our local builders merchants to see what I can come up with.

Doggy pool
Absolutely fantastic, both my labs love it. Bought the large one as I have two dogs and more than enough room for both of them to be in it at the same time. No fuss to put up and easy to empty and store when not in use. This pool kept both dogs occupied and cool all day. Would definitely recommend if you have water loving dogs. Planning a doggy pool party next for my friends dogs !

Doggy Pools Tips
To make your dog pool last for a few years as mine did, keep your dogs paws trimmed to avoid puncture holes or scratches. Place it on a padded surface like grass. If you have concrete in your garden, place a thick waterproof cover doubled over underneath the pool. Always dry it off after use then fold up like a fan and put it away. The pool won't endure all weathers if left out.
My pool lasted 3 yrs. I bought the medium for my German shepherd and when full to the top it came up to the top of her front legs and wet her stomach. The pool was plenty big enough for my nephew to share with my German shepherd. The pool is designed with safety in mind hence it won't be as deep as a family sized garden pool. The medium sized pool was deep enough for my GSD to lay down in without being underwater. The cardboard sides prevented any injuries as well. I bought the pool cover to avoid changing the water everyday. If you have more than one dog buy the large pool. Never leave your dogs unattended in the pool with children. I am definitely going to buy another one as it was great value for money.

Dog Pool
I first bought this pool when it came out, the colour then was blue and red. I have to say the pool was fantastic for the warm weather and my German Shepherd loved playing with her balls in it. After 3yrs the pool showed wear and tear and my dogs claws put a hole in it. I am very tempted to buy another one as it brought my dog so much fun. My nephew also enjoyed paddling with the dog. It's none slip bottom made it very safe hence not one accident.

Very small!
The pool is really sturdy and will last but the small is extremely small!!

ANOTHER SATISFIED CUSTOMER
So far excellent. We have had the doggy pool for a week now and no problem. We ordered the medium size for our dogs (a Bearded Collie and a Lurcher)and it is the right size for them (one at a time in the pool). Before we bought the doggy pool, we had recycled an old car roof box to use as a paddling pool. It did the job, but could be quite slippery. The doggy pool is excellent because the sturdy floor has a good grip, so no slipping problem, and now my dog just go in it without help (my Lurcher loves fetching her ball in the pool). As we use the doggy pool mainly to give a quick clean to my mucky long hair Beardie when he comes back from walks I have no idea yet how the doggy pool is going to withstand the test of time while staying out in winter. It is easy to empty when the water is dirty, a dream compared to emptying the car roof box!.

Lasted 15 minutes
Bought 3 of these in one summer - one lasted 15 minutes the others a matter of days.
If your dogs like to dig the water then don't bother
Look for one dog one bone pools - soon to be sold in UK again. Not cheap - but last for years and years

It's the best thing I brought
Hi I brought this for my Staffordshire bull terrier and he loves it. It's good quality - strong and brilliant that it just folds away so easily
Not many things are Staffordshire bull terrier proof but this his

Perfect for ducks too..!
Purchased this for my four ducks and they love it. It is sturdy, robust and brilliant. I'm sure my dog would love it too, if the ducks let her get in but they "own" it. Prompt delivery and good packaging. Easy to set up, though it does take time to fill (the ducks like it very full!). Definitely recommend it.
Very Sturdy
Good quality, sturdy paddling pool suitable for even larger breeds to wallow in.
Our dog is completely terrified of it, but if she liked water I bet she'd have a great time.

Happy Dogs
Our 2 labs are really enjoying the pool. Unfortunately our 8 month lab is enjoying it too much and has chewed the top. The older lab spends ages amusing herself in it pawing at the water,
jumping in and bringing us soggy toys. Both dogs play together in it. A really good buy.

Carolina Sharps
just add water!!!
My Lab loves his pool. We've had it for couple of months now. It came really quickly, got it out and filled it in no time, not inflating, pumps or anything required.
Very sturdy and good quality.
My lab even digs in it, trying to get those balls that don't float and is.still up and working.
Best investment yet made in my lab's happiness!!

Perfect for our Labrador :-)
We bought the Medium one for our Chocolate Labrador and she loves it, she can lie down and move around in it, it's ideal. Very sturdy and the cover is also very useful. Would definitely recommend !

Doggy Pool Large
My Dog is a German Shepherd dog. We purchased a large Doggy Pool, and we are so pleased with it.
The pool is large enough for my dog and another dog. Very good quality, easy to set up and store away. My dog Jessie has had so much fun and never wants to get out. With the hot weather this is great as it keeps her cool.

Brilliant
Just purchased it for Aster, my very special Medical Detection Hypo Alert Dog. It appears really sturdy, is a good size (I ordered large as she is a lab so loves water) and really easy to set up, took just minutes once I found a flat spot in the garden, plus the time to fill it of course. Have set it up under a cherry tree for shade so the cover is an added bonus helping to keep it clean when not in use.
Looks as if Aster is going to really love this.

Fantastic
I have had this pool for 2 years now and it is fantastic value for money.
Being very money conscious I initially thought it was too expensive for a pool which you could pick up for a few pounds. But as expected they lasted as long as one or two outings before being relegated to the dustbin.
Decided to bite the bullet and pay out for this pool (hubby thought I was mad) but it was the best thing I have bought. Needless to say my 3 dogs did not want to use it so this is where my 2 year old granddaughter comes in. She loves the pool and she can persuade one of the dogs to join her. She also has a water slide and we can put the end of the slide in the pool and she has her own fun centre.
The pool is outside most of the summer, we just let the water out on a few occasions and turn it upside down to give the grass time to recover. Move it to another spot and off we go again.
At the end of the summer it is just let the water out, allow to dry, fold up and put it in the garden shed. I only wish I had bought the biggest size.
Retrieving game
My two golden retrievers love their pool. On a hot day I have to throw toys and pebbles in and they take turns retrieving from it and cooling down at the same time. It's not very relaxing for me as they keep me at the game all day long and in the evening they sleep like babies.

Great pool
Bought the pool for our 4 Weimaraners...absolutely love the pool, the size and so do the dog however sadly after taking out of carry case and filling with water, I discovered two little holes on the edges where it had been folded up 😔. Very disappointed as too big to send back and once out of plastic carry case it can't be squeezed back in

Great!
Love this, just buying my second one, with the really bad winter it didn't survive my poor storage efforts. This year we have a new addition, so not only will our daft Huskey be using this all summer, but so will our new baby! He would only end up destroying a child's pool...

Doggie Pool - the best ever
We have bought this pool for the last few years every summer. It has a lot of use as both my boys just love being in water. So we do have to keep buying a new one each year as it does get very worn out. I would advise having a pressure washer as well as the pool does get dirty very quickly and the green algae starts to grow very quickly in the warmer times of the year. The pressure washer gets rid of it completely. Excellent pool.

Donna
Doggy Pool - just brilliant!
Absolutely love the pool - our Staffies are having an amazing time in it; who needs a television when you've got them to watch! It's one of the best things we've ever bought.
Brilliant!!
I have 2 Weimaraners and they use the pool every summer. I have had mine for 2 years and every summer they are in it most of the day (when the weather is good!) they really love it and haven't managed to dig a hole in it yet! It's really good to use, easy to set up and great value for money. I think you should treat your dogs this summer and buy it.

Rachel Dearnley
Indestructible
Used by our mad Welsh Springer for cooling off in very hot weather in France. He leapt in and out of it in true and mad spaniel style and not even a scratch on it. It folds down easily and was transported in a carrier bag. Highly recommend this for hot mad doggies.

Lorraine
Brilliant!!
This is a great pool for dogs, nothing to puncture, easy to empty with the plug on the side, non slip surface on the bottom. My GSD puppy loves it. I have the egg toy in there too and it keeps him occupied for ages chasing it round the pool.
My only gripe is that I bought the largest size and this is the only one that they don't do a cover for. You are more likely to want to leave the big pool filled as it takes longer to empty so why no cover?

Good News and Bad News!!
Went online to order yet another pool as the ones previous bought are a huge hit with my day care and home board dogs. On my previous review I had said that a bigger size would be fantastic. When I went on this time to re-order, a larger size was available so of course immediately bought one. Arrived promptly as all orders from Zoo Plus do and the size is great - just what's needed for my crew.
I went on this morning to order another of the same size - NONE!! This is the bad news! Hopefully they will be re-stocked soon.
I note from other reviewers that some have had a problem with them getting damaged probably by the dogs' claws. One of mine got damaged by an over enthusiastic digger and I repaired it easily with a puncture repair kit and its holding up well, no problems.
Tears very easily
Bought this for our Belgian Shepherds - used for a few days, cleaned out and then tried to refill only to find it was punctured. Cheaper to buy a series of cheap kids' paddling pools. Very disappointed.

Bulldogs love these paddling pools!
I have a Bulldog plus i am a dog walker and my paddling pool is the best thing i have brought for my dogs. I it fill up all the time in good weather, they drink out of it and jump in and out of it all day. Highly recommended.

Sharon
Cool in the Pool
This is the best thing that you could ever buy your dog. With the summer coming up it is perfect. We wasted money on childrens paddling pools and my dog dug a hole in them within hours. This is well made, sturdy and takes minutes to unpack and set up. Go on treat your dog, im sure they deserve it.
In its third year - real value for money
I got this in 2009, it has had two good summers use by my lively husky, I left it out all winter and anticipated it may have sprung a leak. A quick jetwash and it is good for another season. I spend more on squeaky toys every year.

Margaret
What a Find!
I have a Dog Day Care/Dog Walking company and bought one of these pools for my clients - canine not human!! I can honestly say it was money well spent and extremely good value for money. (Don't waste money buying a kid's paddling pool) No inflating required and ready to fill with water in seconds. Seems to be sturdy and well made - time will tell but so far, it is standing up to numerous dogs using it. the dogs love it and spend hours playing in it. It isn't huge and could be doing with being bigger but it may be down to technical reasons that they don't do a bigger size? Anyway I'm about to order another couple. Don't hesitate - buy one!

steph
careful when emptying
Bought this pool in july and like many other was thrilled to get a pool specially made for dogs.My dog is hardly ever out of the pool and loves to splash,chase ripples and "dig"
but now she has either dug too deep as there is a small hole where side meets bottom or its split from lifting to empty when water lower than plug.
|
Natalie Adams
Perfect Fun!
I'd looked around for a pool for the dogs, as they both love running in the local streams... but didn't want to get a kiddy pool which would puncture within minutes, or spend hundreds on a big plastic pool - finding this on Zoopplus was the perfect solution!
It's easy to put up, doesn't take much space, and it's big enough for both my Staffs to jump in and play about, and us to paddle in too :D
This is the best £40 I have spent this year, it provides endless fun for them and keeps them cool in this hot weather!
100% recommend!!

Brian
just perfect in the hot weather
My dog is a rather large long haired German Shepherd, so she gets rather hot in the summer. have tried the usual kiddy pools,pump it up,fill with water,dog gets in to play and bang, punctured. down town buy another and hope it will last a bit longer (never does).So thought i would give your doggy pool a try, it turned up just as the weather here was very hot. Put pool in garden (no pumping to do) filled with water and let my dog check it out. She loved it, spent ages splashing about and rescuing her toys from the bottom of the pool.I purchased the large size, it could do with a cover like you sell for the smaller size. I would recomend this pool as a must have in the summer, wish i had got one earlier instead of wasting money on kiddy pools. 10 out of 10
Keeping cool in the summer
My Springer spaniel loves this pool. It means he can cool off between games of fetch. He jumps in at least 20 times a day and lies down to cool himself off. Perfect for a hot summer!

Doggy Pool - a hit!
We have 4 Border Collies (well, 2 of them are Sprollies). Three of them love swimming and enjoyed using a plastic, shell-shaped "paddling pool". I was concerned about them slipping and so ordered the Zooplus pool (120 cm). Immediately, the fourth dog jumped in to play with the others! She feels safer on the non-slip surface and there is plenty of room for 3 dogs to splash about at a time. Thank you Zooplus!
|
Trapes
Excellent
I bought this pool a few years ago and my three dogs love it, not big enough for them all to be in at the same time but not sure they'd want to anyway. I used to buy the kiddie pools but they were too easily punctured. This is well made, just wish it was a little bigger but they love it all the same.
|
Jane
great!
We just bought it and filled it...our little beagle loves it. I really like that it folds away nice and compact when not in use. A good product. Thanks zooplus!

Selene in Heaven
I bought this pool for my water barmy lab Selene, she loves to leap in and out and absolutely adores it. It`s really tough and although I initially thought it was a bit pricey, I can see it lasting for many years and so is economical in the long term.

cool Rotties
I purchased the large pool for my rotties to cool off in the summer heat, they love it. Well made with a tough material, only took 5 days to arrive.A bit expensive but seeing it get used makes it worth while.

Add ice for a Siberian Husky!
Throwing in blocks of ice for my husky to chase and chew makes this a dream for her as she prefers snow and ice to sunshine any day. What a lovely way for her to cool down now that she is not allowed on parts of the beach during summer. She loves it, arrived today and she was in it straight away

Moira
Splish Splash !
This is a really great ,well made product and is easy to put up ,fill and to drain. My youngest pup loves it already and am sure we will have great fun with it. The older dogs are inspecting it at the moment but am sure they will be happy to cool down in it if the weather gets warmer!
Large Pool Not Deep Enough For Terrier To Swim!
I read the previous review saying the large pool wasn't deep enough for a Newfoundland, but still bought it thinking it would be fine for an Irish Terrier, but no! It only goes up to the very bottom of his chest, so not deep enough for him to swim. Having said that it did last all summer up in the garden and he did enjoy splahing in it, so although not deep enough is about as good a dog pool as your gonna find on the market, would have thought someone would have seen the opportunity and need for dog pools for larger breeds, but haven't seen any about. PLEASE MAKE DEEPER AND BIGGER ONES......

we have 3 large Rottweillers, not ideal for all 3 to be in it together good size but wish there was a xxlarge one available, but good value, and ideal to bath the dogs in.easy to empty

Brilliant!
We have a 9 month old Vizsla and he loves it! He plays in it every day splashing the water with his feet - trying to catch it in his mouth. Good strong material and cleans up easily. Worth absolutely every penny, but I agree with the other review that I'd love a much bigger one too!

Poppy
An ok pool !!!
i purchaced the large pool and my labrador puppy loved it, but it wasnt very deep, also if you have a mischevous puppy dont let her near the pool before you have filled it up, as mine bit streight through the bottom of the pool in one chew.

Pools for BIG dogs!
We've got one of your large pools for our Newfoundland dog, and he loves it. It's well-made and robust; he hasn't managed to puncture it and it's easy to empty. BUT, please can you consider a bigger version for larger dogs? About 6" higher and twice the diameter would be perfect, and he wouldn't fill it whilst standing up to his ankles (do dogs have ankles?). He'd have so much fun, and I'm sure that owners of other large water-loving dogs would agree. Regards, Sarah (& Ralph the Newfie puppy)
