A GSD’s Summertime Fun

I do not regret my purchase, only that I didn’t order the larger pool. I have a female GSD that’s about 100# that we rescued winter of 2021. With NH summer temps in the 90s, not knowing her response to bodies of water but knowing she loves puddles, I wanted to try a dog pool & am glad I did! She likes to jump & run through it but mostly like splashing by kicking her front leg like a horse & occasionally biting the sides. This pool withstood the bites & kicking resulting in non-damaging scratches. However, it ended up with a few holes due which was due to human error. She has a love/hate relationship w the hose. So the one day I was filling it up and she jumped in before the bottom was fully covered w water. Since the floor material doesn’t always lay flat, it was bunched & she started play biting at the floor where the water was splashing as she wanted to she the hose who’s boss. This resulted in a few holes about the circumference of a pencil eraser ✏️ . But it still holds water & is basically full (minus what she splashes our & her long fluffy hair soaks up) when I empty it at the end of the day bc it’s usually dirty from her breaks running around & digging in in the dirt before jumping back in. It’s really easy to clean, fold & dries quickly. I plan to patch the holes at the end of summer just to see it the patches work. I plan to get her a larger pool next summer that’s more than 6” larger than her, & will probably get the same brand of the patches hold. By the reviews of other dog pools, I’m really glad I went with this style. Even though it was pricier than the other dog pools, I feel the style of this pool is more durable. I may try one of the other cheaper ones if it comes in a bigger size (63” or 71”) next year just to compare the durability, per my dogs idea of pool fun. I only will if it’s on a deal, as I don’t want to be buying multiple pools & wasting money that could’ve just went towards the cost of this style in the larger size.

Pros
  • 42 x 42 x 12 inches; 3.7 Pounds
Cons
  • Could potentially be too shallow for larger dogs to fully submerge and swim.
