Durable enough for a lab to get into and swim? (Maybe with dog shoes)

I would highly suggest the dog shoes you mention. It's pretty durable for people & toddler wear and tear, but a dogs nails might be too much.

I purchased this particular pool for my younger siblings, and for people that I know who own a pool with a liner; they do not allow dogs in as they fear they might tear the liner, though dog shoes should solve this problem. the only other problem is if your dog puts pressure on top of the pools rim which may cause water to pour out, but the pool should be fine.

Unless he had very large paws I'd buy medium. I have a 65lb pit and bought the large. They were way too big, so I reordered the medium and they wouldn't stay on while swimming. They are very round with an opening. Not really what I expected. Depending on what you want them for I'd reconsider ordering them. I was super disappointed. I purchased them for swimming because his nails and paws get raw when he's in the pool.

Yes. Due to the material being water proof my dog has a tendency to slide a little.

I have a Golden Retriever (6 y.o.) average build and they fit him perfectly. The downside is that when he runs, sometimes the booties get turned around and then the nylon starts to separate. It is worth it to spend the money on the more expensive set if you have an active friend and want to get more than one season out of them. They are definitely worth getting a pair to protect their paws! Hope this helps you decide.

Yes, its sturdy enough, just make sure it doesn't slide off when your dog tries to get on it. It needs to be secured somehow.

Yes, we have a lab that is in the pool all the time and the basket often has hair in it. The mesh is pretty fine, so you'll have to empty out the dog hair pretty often.

I wouldn't think it's breakable. It might be too thick for a dog the size of yours as well. I purchased a medium one for a friend's 60 pound lab and it was a good size for him. My lab is over 80 pounds and the large one is the right thickness and sturdiness for her.

No, not really. My retriever isn't much of a chewer but he has chewed up two of these. Yet I keep them around because he still likes them as they are easy for him to grab on to and run around with, especially in the pool.

My PitBull wore his outdoors in ice and snow for a couple days before he had a nail go through. I would say they would work in a pool but check them each time when you put them on your four legged friend.

Our dog didnt have a problem slipping in them because of the material they're made out of. Even though it might not look like it, they have pretty good traction. They will turn your dogs feet the color of the boots though. We bought the red ones so it temporarily turned our dog's feet red.

Katharine, I have a Boxer/Lab (80+ lbs) & I fill his water 2 x's a day & his food only once. They're plenty big. HOWEVER, I wud recommend putting a coat of laquer on top because the water is destroying it

Pretty much. My DOG isn't a swimmer but she's in and out of her kiddie pool. I usually reapply once or twice depending how long she's outdoors.

Yes it is pretty durable, walking on it is just fine. They can chew it or claw at it... our dog tried digging it and ended up making chunks come off but if he didn't do that it would be fine.

My Lab is 85pds. The medium or large should work. It is KONG strong and I don't think he/she can destroy it. My lab is a chewer and hasn't put a dent in it.

My 60 lb lab Sally fits in it nicely and has plenty of room. I also have a wolf/shepherd mix that is big and sturdy and Chief goes in his when it's very cold/rainy.

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 fit our English Bulldog pretty well. She will lose one if going for a long walk. They are quite easy to get on and off.
