Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My dilemma on this one was trying to gauge the size of the pool. If you read some of my other reviews, I seem to have a problem judging size. Yes, size matters... when purchasing dog pools. I got out a tape measure and tried to visualize the pool sitting in my living room. I got the puppy and had her sit in the middle of my imaginary pool. I had to make a split second decision. You try getting a 3-month-old puppy to stand still for 5 seconds. So - here's a video of our 25lb Sheprador (such a cool breed name) in the "Large" version of this pool (48inch.D x 11.8inch.H, Blue). I think I nailed it right on the size. The next size up didn't seem worth the money. At the XXL size, might as well just use my real pool. It's made from pretty sturdy material. I don't think the dog is going to puncture the bottom unless your dog has razer nails. I mean, my puppy has razer teeth but I only call them razer nails when I'm try to cut them and the back ones slice my arm. I wouldn't recommend letting your dog "dig" at the bottom though. You can see the strength of the side walls in the video. One thing I didn't realize... The drain is great. Very well made but it takes some time to fully drain the pool. I find myself lifting up the side of the pool and creating a tidal wave effect as the water flows over the walls and onto the ground. The pup loves topping off the day with attempts to drink the rushing water. Bottom line, good product. Only complaint - the carrying case they give you is probably going to turn out useless. I haven't tried to get it back into the small carrying case. It's pretty thin and it's going to take some puzzle solving to get it packed in. I should have taken a picture of it before I took it out. Disclaimer: I'm not sure "Sherprador" is an actual breed name but when I looked up German Shepard and Labrador mix, that's what came up and it's so cool, I had to use it.
