Not sure, I didn't have it around animals but if it got punctured without any animals around I'm sure it's so cheap pet nails will puncture it.

I use it when my dog(Brittney 35lbs to 40lbs) had leg surgery. She sleep on it with me for a week or two with no problems. I've own the mattress for a long time (4 to 6 years)and my grandchildren have used it and the dog has sleep with them too. My wife has use it camping with the grandchild too.My dogs nails are cut or worn down from walks, but still long. So it's worked for me. To Me one of the best cheap air mattress I've found. IMO, I plan on buying another one.

The one I bought is not holding air but I have bought from intex before and in my experience they get holes very easily so I would say yes.

I think a smaller dog might be ok, but anything medium sized or larger will definitely be able to puncture it with its nails.

I am not sure, had to return because my dog punctured it within a very, very short time.

Absolutely yes. Dogs nails are actually fairly soft. I drag a steel jack around on this floor and can see marking, but very superficial. Just make sure that the floor is completely cured before you introduce traffic (dog or otherwise) and you will be fine.

Yes, you need to be careful when cutting them. If you look at the back of the nail, you'll see a soft pink or black (depending of your dog's nail color) tissue/skin (called quick) that you shouldn't cut because your dog will bleed. Just be careful and cut little by little until you are close to the quick but not too close.

I think if you gave it to her at least 30-60 min. before, it would at least help. Our chihuahua hated to have us touch her nails-we switched to a Peticure file, VERY gradually, & she is totally fine now as long as we don't go too long & she knows there's a treat after. That might be even easier!

I have not complaints and it fits my needs. My dogs do not exceed 30 pounds. The whole that the nail fits into is large enough for a dog of your size and I think it would work fine. However - if you wanted something more sturdy given that you have a bigger dog you may prefer the large. I have no issue with it from a sturdy standpoint with my smaller dogs.

Karin, No, the groomer cannot clip the nails. The nail caps cover the entire nail and grow out with time. My dog lost them naturally. Be warned though, the dogs nails will get long as they won't wear down like they normally do from walking on pavement or running in the yard.

I don't think I would trust it with pets' nails ~ because of the design itself and it's light weight. I doubt if it would stand up to pets very well.

If the dog is really strong and sharp nails, They might be able to rip thru the screen sides. It seems pretty tough for small dogs. My adult yorkie(10 lbs) didn't like it at first & tried to scratch his way out but could not damage the screen sides.

Not sure about that. I have had dogs but don't have one now. It probably depends on whether or not you keep the dog's nails clipped short and filed. It's a pretty tight weave.

Yes it does puncture easy. I usually take my golden retriever with me and he visibly damaged the surface. For next year I will glue some rubber mat on the top and the sides to prevent future damage. The board is definitely soft

Yes. found it works very well on my one dog that has very large nails. Cuts easily and gets the job done quickly.

Absolutely. It has the variable speed and my dog has very strong thick nails and I think it could handle your dogs nails if done on a regular basis.

I would not recommend it unless the dog is small and you cover the floor with a towel to help prevent claw punctures. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't say they necessarily do from the dog just playing, but if her nails are at all sharp, yes they will go right through the rubber. I keep my dog's nails dull with a dremal tool, and haven't had any troubles this way. I can see it being a potential issue for other dogs though.

My dog has sharp nails. She sleeps next to it. She will not even step on it.

I think so. A big agressive bite might puncture it - but the rest of it is built sturdy enough that it should be fine. The rubber is thick enough to withstand some good rock scrapes so claws shouldn't be a problem.
