Could a dog easily bust the bladder of the pool?

The vinyl is pretty thick but I think a dogs claws could break it. I would not put a dog in this model.

No..we have large labs and they were told no and don't call them over when in pool..

I bought this same pool last summer and have 3 dogs that like to climb all over it while we are swimming. I have had no holes in my pool yet. I love mine! I recommend buying a different pump because the one that comes with it is real small. I bought the Intex sand filter. I put sand in it last year and it is still working great. With a cartridge filter you will be changing it every couple of weeks.

I have a boxer and she often puts her feet up on the side I doubt it could break as it is very thick

Highly unlikely, it is well sealed off and there are a couple layers between the bladder and the camera compartment. That being said if your bladder split open and you didn't notice it for a few hours, you could have an issue, but odds are slim that situation would ever happen.

I wouldn't say so. It's only about an inch deep with water. More for smaller animals.

yes it will wet the dog. I don't think it is ment to be used as a training device.

Very easily blown up by hand. No pump necessary -- in fact, I think it would be over-kill and probably quickly pop it, LOL. My daughter loved this float last summer and will probably be bitterly disappointed that she's too big for it now.

I agree with the other answer that if sized and fitted correctly, the dog shouldn't be able to back out of it.

Yes. I believe so. My Rottweiler ' s both had a blast and one is 160 pounds and the other is 130. I expected the pool to be disposable. But dang if that pool didn't last ALL summer long.

Absolutely ... and quickly. I blew up all of my pool toys in about 15 minutes. (Although I've also seen that for larger items ... a huge pool, maybe? ... a shop vac also works.) But this is the best inflator I've found. The battery operated version didn't feel like it had much oomph ... though it still is better than using my lungs.

Yes. My son did that often. He also liked to dive/jump into it. It is sturdy plastic but one seem got a leak after awhile

My dog fell in the pool earlier this summer and after fishing him out, I immediately removed the collar, dried it off and we had no problems. He also loves to play in dirt, roll in wet grass, etc. and we've had no issues. But that is the extent that we have tested out the "waterproof" feature. :)

I would think the metal frame would be better. Depends how active or big your dog is. While it's a nice pool, it's not too strong.

We just bought & set up this pool primarily for the dog. She is about 45 pounds. We set up a ramp for her to get in, attached a small wood platform at the top, and have a ramp going down into the water. The inside ramp is set on a small plastic overturned washtub on the pool bottom. The set up is no problem for her! Her nails have not caused any problems either. She loves her pool! We do too :)

I would not recommend it for the simple reason that the bottom could tear easily with a dog's nails. The edges also bend down easily, and she could step on and let all the water out. I would recommend a hard shell pool of some sort.

They are in separate compartments within the bag itself, so I don't see a way that this could realistically happen. If the entire bladder punctures and leaks a massive amount of water, that may be the only way.

No, but there is a hook in the seat that you could attach to a harness to further protect your dog from harm.

My dog went swimming in a creek for a few minutes with hers on (I forgot to take it off). It still worked fine afterwards, but I wouldn't recommend doing that!!

I think it would. The pressure behind the bladder should push all the water out even if it's in a horizontal position. Hope that helped.
