Is this a water barrier? If a small amount of liquid (like what might come out of a 4 pound dog) were on top, will it seep through?

As best as I can tell, no. I tested with a small amount of water and it didn't leak through.

Since it's quite large it absorbs quite a bit of liquid. It will absorb my medium dog's pee quite well.

Yes. NO water gets through the one I have. It will actually puddle up in the lower areas.

Yes it will most likely. The sides are made of mesh (so that your pet can see outside the pen), so that might not keep urine inside like a solid fabric would. The bottom is waterproof, but the bottom flap is attached with Velcro, so liquids will run through if the liquids end up along the sides. My cats used to knock into their water bowl inside the pen, and the water would seep through along the edges of the bottom flap.

Yes, it completely covers the area the dog might try to "jump" through. It makes a very effective barrier. However, be warned - that any determined dog, small or large is going to be able to move it around - it's attached with bungy cords - probably need steel straps to keep a large dog from completely coming through if the dog is really determined. :-)

It definitely absorbs liquids, I've sprayed mine down with a hose and flipped it over and most of the other side was dry though. It's 4 layers thick. My Dog peed on it once and it absorbed all of it and kept it off of my car.

Yes, there is a bit of raised edge that catches water. However sometimes my dogs will get some on the floor as well.

Yes....it is constructed as a large mesh .....water will definite flow through

It's like thin green plastic strands melted together into a shape. It allows water to drain thru. I don't see why you couldn't use it in an aquarium. It's not absorbant and it won't tiny the water. I got it to put on top of my puppy pads and my dog seemed to take to it right away. I just rinse it off in the shower. I've also thrown in the washer. I think you have a good idea. If I can answer any other questions let me know.

There isn't any way to close the top, that said it has a very small slit like a Sippy cup. I found that only a small amount of liquid will come out if you would knock it over mine rolled over until it found an air pocket and then the slit is on top so that stops the leak. I would buy the product again

Yes, it stays dry and you can put a lock on to keep animals from opening it.

No it would be fine, but hopefully you won't leave your pets without water!

I have not had it in the rain but I don't see how water could get through; however if you have wind with rain you may get wet from the sides.

It may seep through the seems, it is a fairly firm plastic. Cleanup may be the biggest problem since the cut-outs are fragile. I have cleaned it only with a soft spray of water.

Not really. It repels water somewhat but if someone got a large amount of water on it eventually it would soak through

The outer part is, yes. It has some sort of absorbent padding in the inside, so the moisture wicks away from the dog's skin, but the outer material is cotton, so it always seeps through. Even a very small amount of urine will dampen the outer part of the wrap.

The top slats are tongue and grooved so water won't go through. But, on the other hand, I would not expose the box to water. Hope this helps....Jim
