Would this pool hold up for 70lb dogs? Would the material tear with their nails?

Yes! I have a 60lb standard poodle that goes after his tennis balls in it, no punctures at all. In fact the only puncture was from the grandkids jamming a metal tube thru the bottom. The repair package stickers took care of the problem. Note: that you have to get glue for the other repair patches from the hardware store as the company can't ship glue thanks to homeland security. They do provide a couple of self sticky patches - that's what I used. I just put the pool up for the 2nd year, it held up fine.

Dogs will tear the liner in a regular above ground pool so i would certainly not trust an easy set pool to with stand more than a $5000 pool would, trust me had it happen

I would advise against using with dogs...a hard plastic pool is better, as a dog's claws and teeth and hard play could easily break this.

Yes, it will hold up! I had it out for a couple of weeks before we moved from Colorado to Texas so my cats would be used to it, and they used it as a play tunnel running in and out and over it.

Yes. I believe so. My Rottweiler ' s both had a blast and one is 160 pounds and the other is 130. I expected the pool to be disposable. But dang if that pool didn't last ALL summer long.

It says it can hold up to 70 pounds... I would probably agree with that. It is very sturdy and well made. The most weight I have ever put in there is 40 (4 smaller dogs) and it holds very well.

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.

I have a dog, but the mesh is very sturdy, but over enough time it might break down under constant scratching. The cool thing about the bed lining is you can unzip and wash or replace it

yes .. its seems very durable and thick... however if your dog has nails and likes to shred things ...it cud be torn..like any fabric

This pool is very sturdy, made from durable yet light weight plastic. I have two very large dogs and they love their pool.

I would worry about the dog's nails puncturing the plastic. I had to put a screened pavilion over the pool because the birds would land on the edge and puncture it.

I used the large cube with a 70 pound dog. It may depend on your dog's energy and strength level to play with the larger cube.

Not sure my dogs already chewed it up pretty good.. So I cannot test it. I also do not think it would float anyway.

I've had my Scottish Terrier using the pool at least 20 times so far. She is able to jump into and out of the pool. She loves it. So far, no scratch marks anywhere or tears. I do have the pool sitting on artificial turf, which has some give...so perhaps it makes the pool bottom etc more durable. This exact pool is on sale in California at a chain known as Big Lots for only $18...some doggie toys cost more than that! It's a big pool for the $$. Even if it only lasted a summer season, the $18 would be more than worth it.

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 :)

Good day Veronica. The Bone Pool is excellent for wading and normal playing by you dog. The bottom is pretty scratch proof.As for chewing, anything will wear if it is chewed enough. Get your dog some chew bones. This product is made similarly like the heavy material that lines pick-up trucks. Hope this is of help to you.

I used this pool once so far and it is great. I used it for myself to get some sun i could not get the dogs to go in it yet.

We have two of these. We have big dogs. The material is very strong. The weak point as it is with all these crates is the screening. If the dog paws at it it does rip. I have no complaints with it, especially for the price
