1. Search Amazon for a pool for my dog. I'm thinking maybe $20.2. Finally find one. It's $80.3. Think about how much I like my dog. Decide not that much.4. Wife tells me I like my dog exactly that much.5. Grumble and then buy pool.6. Set up, fill with water, dog very happy.7. Leave for half an hour.8. Come back home to pool eaten and spread all over my back yard.9. This is a dog pool like I'm a pterodactyl. It's just a pool. Your dog will eat it.

Someone here asked if it had cardboard inserts and two people replied with no, and that is just a straight up lie. My dog destroyed the pool in one day and I feel like having people lie and say that it is all pvc is false advertising. It is thick cardboard. The plastic on the outside rips easily so if you do buy it, make sure you have a tarp or something underneath it so it doesn't rub against the ground when the dog is jumping in and out, because that is what started the destruction. As soon as something starts to rip he treats it like a toy and destroys, and I was expecting it to be more durable since it is built for dogs. I'm giving it three stars because I know not all dogs are as destructive as mine and it might work fine for them, and the fact that it folds is neat, but it is not nearly as durable as the description makes it sound and internally is thick cardboard.

I love these pools, and my labs do too! We actually have two pools of this style- one really big one from another company (64"x12") which we set up in the bigger yard, and I bought this smaller one (50"x12") which is size Large by Frontpet, for placement in a smaller area. I have 2 big labs, and one can fully sit, lay down in this. Two can be in together splashing around. It is a good size without taking up too much space. This pool is sturdy, has a nice drain plug, and is easy to empty. I haven't had to refold it up, so I can't yet comment on that. But I have filled and drained a few times so far.I want to add that I keep the nails on my two labs trimmed. They don't really dig at the material. I also never ever see them chew on the pool. They are not destroyers. So if you have a dog that seeks to destroy everything in its path, then this is likely not for you.What I like about it, and what made me purchase it. I simply wanted a pool or two for my dogs. I initially looked at this style, saw some of the negative reviews of horror stories of dogs damaging them, saw the high price, and forgot about it- decided to look elsewhere. So I had gone the cheap route and purchased a huge, large soft sided kid pool for like $10 at a local variety store. It worked out well enough, but it was annoying to clean out (I think I went too large). It was a good starter pool so I could see if my dogs even liked it. If these pools don't work out for whatever reason, I may go back to that annoying but cheap variety. By end of season I just threw it out. Following season, I decided on more cheap toddler pools- the kind that are a molded hard plastic. I went with middle size. I would have gone with the largest, but I didnt think it would fit in my SUV, nor was I sure if I could drain it all that easily. So small ones worked, but my labs couldn't lay down in them. They could step in, but their bums hung over side. At seasons end, one was relegated to becoming a large litter box- my cats think it is a great idea!, and the other as a container for my dogs outside toys. Now into third season, and thinking about what I want.. I revisited these styles of pools. As mentioned, I bought a super sized one (64")from another company- and love it. Then on a whim I decided I wanted another one, but smaller (say 48-50") Other company had a smaller size, but was still pretty expensive (mind as well get another big one).. then I saw this company had the smaller-ish size (50") that I was looking for for, and at a better price. So now I have two pools that are holding up to TWO BIG DOGS jumping in and out, playing as young dogs do. I am enjoying the ease of emptying it and refilling it, moving it around, etc. AND THE POOLS ARE BOTH HOLDING UP. So far so good.Giving full rating as it is holding up for my needs. But,IF ANYTHING CHANGES, I will be back to update my review. I am an avid reviewer and I aim to be helpful.

This is an amazing pool for our pups: sadly our 6 month old puppy destroyed the side in seconds. We've tried to duct tape it together and use pool patches but no luck. The inside of the pool is cardboard and once wet it is use less. I'm so sad as the pups loved this pool and was so easy to set up and take down. We have a 60 lb lab/pit mix, 56 lb lab/Shepherd mix and a 45lb Shepherd/Husky mix. All three were able to jump in and out of the pool, dig at the bottom to grab toys with no issues. But it took less then 30sec for our 6 month old to chew the side. Heartbreaking that it feel apart so quick and there is no way to fix it.

VERY, VERY thin bottom that punctures easily, which is ridiculous since this is a pool supposedly MADE for dogs. Got the run around from the company (check with so and so, who told me to email so and so), which must be their way of avoiding any issues. They wear you down until you shrug your shoulders and say. "Ok, I give". DO NOT BUY THIS POOL IF YOU HAVE DOG(S) OVER 10 POUNDS. It was a major joke. Too bad too, because I was really looking forward to it lasting more than 3 days in my yard.

Très utile, parfait!!!

great size for our bulldog to enjoy a paddle on a hot day.
