I have a small Yorkie about 8 lbs. If she slips in the water, not creating a big splash would the unit go off?

We have a 4lb and 5lb chiuahuah and the alarm works fine. However, placement on the pool, water level, and wind are all factors that can affect performance. Follow the directions closely. An occasional false alarm seems normal.

Yes, 100%! Ours will go off if something small like a toy car is throw in the pool.

I don't know if it will detect her going in I suspect no, but- it might once she starts splashing and moving in the water- When we put ours in it did not detect the waves created by a gallon jug of water from across the alarm dropped in about a foot above water level (so about 8-9 pounds) (but it did when we did 2 at same time) . The manual also notes that gradual water entry might not be detected. It would also be affected by size of pool and number of alarms. Their customer service is 800-242-7163- they might be able to tell you- or if they have other options

I'm not sure. The apron around the feeder is not terribly wide. If you dog has long fur, I suspect that you will still have water on the floor.

Depending how close to the edge they push Down on. If our dog steps on the edge it will dump. Unless it flips all the way over water stays in on edge

With our 2 dogs, 18 & 23 pound poodles we've had no issues with it staying in place. I've been really happy with it, my only complaint is wish it was water proof/backing was more heavy duty.

My dog is only a 3 lb yorkie. She has room to turn around but not sure how much more yours would need.

My yorkie did pee in it. I have a front load easier and i washed it for a few min. In ambient water. Stopped the machine so it drained water out the pulled out the flooring pad and Hung across my deck Rail. In this hot weather it was dry in an hour and sunshine clean.

I have a small puppy and it is fairly heavy so I haven't had any issues with it moving.

I have an 8 pound yorkie she tolerate s it fine but under 4 pounds I'd say no. I'm pretty sure the actual ad tells you the smallest s weight size. You'll be hard pressed to find something to fit your dog. They tend to have collapsing tracheas when they're that tiny I'd be very careful.

I use this for a Yorkie, 10lb. It doesn't seem to be too heavy but it would depend on the breed and puppy size.

Absolutly, we have a ten lb yorkie mix and it works beautifully. She knows as soon as we put it on her to stop barking(in her case it's barking). We have had it for two years and we are very satisfied.

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 :)

It works great for my 2 Yorkies. I had to safety pin the 2 zippers together because they figured out how two open it. My 8 pound girl is very agile and a trouble maker too.

I'm sorry, not sure. I have two teacup yorkies that both together weigh 8lbs.......they like to ride. My guess would be yes but that's all I can say.

I too have Yorkies! Only with exceptions will the size small fit otherwise it will slide right off. I have a 2.5 pound yorkie and use these but only after washing and drying 3 times to shrink it than with a U by kotex pad inside of it. I use the security maxi over night absorbent pads and cut 3 inches off the end. The bulk of the kotex pad is what helps it stay on. You can buy the kotex at a great price right on amazon. The pads stay really dry to the skin perfect for our babies.

Easily. My 35 pound Shiba Inu does it, your Lab probably won't even notice it.

A 70lb dog will cause the board to lean pretty heavily when it's trying to scramble up on board, so i wouldn't be standing when that happens. It depends on the dog breed though as to whether or not they can jump on. A lab, or golden? easy, the 8in rise really isn't that much especially if you give him a little pulling help. My 75lb english bulldog comes with me all the time, but bulldogs literally sink like rocks so he has to wear a big doggy life jacket. It has a handle on top of it so the few times he's fallen in (cuz he's all dumb and rolly polly) i just grab the handle and hoist his lardy self aboard.

The opening is very small, I think it would prevent your dog from trying to splash around. The unit, however, is not very durable and it became discolored and fell apart very quickly. The black paint chips off and leaves a residue in the water.
