Could my 30-lb. corgi-pit rescue..long body short legs..ride in this when she gets cold/tired of swimming? Would her nails puncture the tube?

It is well made but I don't think it would hold up to claws. We have two dogs and have punctured several floats due to claws. We finally wised up and got a doggie Spring Float right here at Amazon.

yes, her nail would puncture this tube unless you placed a thick towel or rubber mat in the bottom. Note this cooler raft is very large.

I have never had a dog in the raft but I can say it's rolled over some pretty big branches and sharp ones too with no problems. If you know your dog will just lay there I would put down a thin rug or something and you should be just fine

Well the raft is very strong so I don't think it would break as long as her nails aren't extremely sharp since it is a raft after all. Hope this helps.

Idk about the puncture part. But I'm 6' 230 and it easily supports me! And my ice chest radio weighs a ton and it rides just fine.

I'd assume her nails would puncture the tube. It's not flimsy or cheap but I know that my rescue dog has pretty sharp nails. I wouldn't trust it.

The cable isn't thick but it might have too much tension for her. One of my dogs has a bit of a problem with it. I'm also having a problem with the retraction when it is below freezing out.

Hi, my son has a 22 pound Corgi , Corgi's have very long bodies and very short legs......she needed height to see out! However, she could only sit in this car seat and could not lie down -was too small for her long body...they returned it and bought 2 long outdoor seat cushions and stacked them ( for a 2 person couch outdoor love seat so the cushions could handle wet feet and mud easily ) and a chest harness for the dog that attaches to the seat belt - so she won't choke or fly forward if they stop suddenly...she can sit and lie down as she pleases...every dog is different... if your dog is going on long trips then it is important that it can lie down in it's seat and not just see out...good luck!

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.

I think that will not be a problem. The fabric is pretty sturdy and when an outdoor dog run and play, their nails get somewhat of a trim on the cement or when they are digging. Go for it they will love it and keep them of the cold/wet ground.

So far they haven;t punctured the plastic in the pool. I have a golden retriever and I watch my son's weimaraner, both have long nails. They don;t go in the pool much, its too small for both of them. The weimaraner did figure out how to unplug it and the water gets going out. I too was going to purchase a hard plastic one, until I saw the price. I don;t think this pool was worth $30, but that was all I could find that I could have shipped to me for free.Hope this helps.

I would say Yes that a dog of any size would have difficulty climbing onto this board due to the thickness. The dog may not be able to get enough leverage to pull itself up out of the water.

Our dog is a 30lb Golden mix and she has sharp nails also. We live in Minnesota with a long winter and have one full winter in the boots and no problems with punctures. They are tough boots. Jim W.

I have a 45 lb staffy and it kept her from going at her rear leg, although I used this in conjunction with the Contech soft cone. I used the cone when her incision was new because she definitely couldn't reach it with that and its more comfortable than the collar. Once it started to heal I used the collar so she could see a little better, but had it slightly deflated so she could be more comfortable when laying down. Even with it slightly deflated she didn't seem to be able to reach it well. Because they are so cheap, maybe use them together like I did!

I don't think so. My 25 lb hound tried once to run ahead of the bike just her whole body went up against the spokes and she backed off fast and never tried it again...i had no problem staying upright.

Sorry ... a little late. I guess that would depend on the size of the leg. For my case, there was no problems. It was tight, but not too tight to cause any pain, but tight enough to keep the water out.

I would recommend checking the manufacturer's recommendations. My dog is close to 30 lbs., so it is hard to know. I am not sure what about it would be dangerous for her, however.

Depending on the size of the dog, I suppose it's possible. We leave a blanket in the corner for ours to sleep on so it doesn't seem to bother her. I will say that the spot welds recently popped on the floor of the crate so the corner sags. I rigged it with a zip tie (don't judge) because i worried about her foot slipping and getting pinched. we are back to good with that modification. It's not a perfect crate, but doe the money, I won't complain. My only perfect crate was a custom built $600 crate for my husky years ago.

Easiest way is to measure from the back of the pad to the end of the nails. My 20lb. min. poodle wears a Medium (the blue ones). He has a lot of hair so needs a bit of extra room. They work well for us as his hair works like a sponge when it is wet.

Probably not as the holes for the legs are pretty close together. That was the problem tor my dog.

I would not use this for any animal except a dog that does not dig or scratch. Yes, the nails will get caught in the mesh and the floor is not zippered, it is held in place with several small velcro strips.

My Pom is older (15) and also likes to "nest". Since she only weighs 8 pounds, she hasn't been able to do any damage. The surface is pretty smooth, so it is hard for her to get a hold with her nails.
