Cool Pup Splash About Dog Pool

I was so excited when I saw this pool. I have 2 service dogs that are golden retrievers, and when they aren't helping me with my mobility in the summer, they cool off in their pool. For years I've always used the old standby plastic $12.99 kiddie pools we all had as children with the fish on them for my dogs. When one would get shredded, they're cheap enough that you just buy a new one. The problem however is that the only way to drain them is to stomp down on the side until most of the water is out and then lift it up to get the rest out. Cleaning is pretty easy, just rinse and go. My problem is that I can't bend and lift without being in a great deal of pain, so I was excited to see that I was so excited when I saw this pool.

My problem is that I can't bend and lift without being in a great deal of pain, so I was excited to see that this pool had a drain. What I didn't realize until I received it, used it and went to drain it the first time, was that the the drain hole is about 3 inches up, so you still have to lift the thing up to get the rest of the water out. And let me tell you, it is nothing like lifting up a kiddie pool. You go to lift this stupid thing up and it collapses in on top of itself, and that's just the beginning. Between trying to get the rest of the water out and trying to use the hose to rinse the dirt out that got in from the dogs playing in this thing, the thing kept going every which way because of the stupid sections in it and then would turn itself inside out and I couldn't get it back the right way. It looked like I should have been in a dang 3 Stooges comedy. It might have been funny except for the fact that I was in considerable pain and more so because I eventually tripped and fell over the top of it injuring myself further. I was so angry that I wanted to blow the thing to smithereens...another Stooges episode probably. It is currently sitting in my yard where it has been for the last 6 weeks until someone can come by and take the thing to the dump! Oh and yes, the dogs toenails made holes in the bottom of the thing the 1st time too. If you're not disabled and you loved it, good for you. This is a cautionary message for people who are disabled with limited mobility. … more

We love this pool!! I had my doubts on the collapsible construction of the pool, but it didnt cave at all when filling it. The material is great, and seems to be very sturdy. My pup ran around the yard diving in and tripped over the wall a few times, but it held up still. We hope chewy will continue to offer this product, as I think I will need to get the large next year. Overall, amazing!!!

This pool has very cleverly designed sides. The way they fold up makes it very convenient to move it. Unfortunately, the floor of the pool is not thick enough to withstand dog claws. My dogs used the pool once, and then I had to patch it. Thinking things through now, I wonder how often people need to move their dog pools. How often does a pool need to hold water? Perhaps the designers of this pool need to think more practically before adding clever ideas. Great idea, but needs improvement.

Chewey.com is the best!! The pool was so easy to set up and it was filled in 1/2 hour!! I could not believe how nice, sturdy and easy this was - it does not leak, it is simple to drain and it is actually comfortable and durable for our dog. Plus, especially Chewey is exceptional on delivery. We ordered the pool on a Sunday morning around 11am. The next day, Monday, it was on the porch by noon!!! Please everyone- do yourself a favor and order from this place. Quality all the way!!!

Well the first time I used it I thought this is the best freaking dog pool in the world. Popped right up, filled it with water - drains easy, and the dog loves it. But since I live in mosquito country, I need to drain it and refill often. That doesn’t work. After the water drains, the pool sides collapse. Then when you try to fill it, it is a battle to keep the sides up while it is filling - water is pouring out of it as fast you are adding to it. You can’t just lay a hose it and walk away. It wouldn’t be so bad, if there was another adult to hold up the other side while it fills. Once it is half way full, it stays open. Also very difficult to clean due to the collapsed sides.

This was a perfect gift. I got this for my dogs for his birthday and as soon as he opened it he got right in (with No water). So I got it set up outside on our deck and he jumped in with no problems and laid in it as it was a very hot day. Very easily to set up and put away.

We bought this pool (large size) for our 1-year-old golden retriever. She absolutely loves it. She is not easy with her toys, but the pool has somehow survived her. I love that it is easy to clean, drain, and refill. This product was even more than we were hoping for.

This pool is well constructed and easy to set up and take down. The drain helps but you still need to push a side down old school to drain most of the bottom but not a big deal. This pool is big enough for both my 95lb labs to be in it at the same time. Material is tough, my labs are big rough bulls in china shops and this stands up very well to their antics and nails. I live in Florida so this is a great way for them to cool off and have fun. I would definitely recommend this product.

Our chocolate lab Ruby Dooby loves getting in to cool off after playing with her indestructible Ball. We like that you can fold it to take with you.

My dog loves it.. only issue is with the drain plug cap , its on the inside pool wall.My dog will not be happy until he chews it off or rips it off with his paws. I think placing it outside would eliminate the temptation.
