What You Should Know About Dog Pools
A dog pool is a pool specifically designed for dogs, so it's more durable than a plastic kiddie pool. Non-dog pools do not work well for dogs because they don't hold up well to biting or scratching. Dog pools can also handle more weight than a kiddie pool can. Some pet owners use dog pools as an easy way to bathe large dogs, as well.
You should definitely get your dog a pool if your pet loves the water and would appreciate a way to cool off in warmer temperatures. You can also get a dog pool if you have large dogs and want to also use the pool to bathe them outside.
Some dogs will hop in the pool on their own. Obviously, if your dog is small and can't hop in, then you'll likely need to assist. Most medium to large dogs should be able to get in on their own.
It depends on the size of the pool and how much room your dog will need to swim versus sit and cool off. Most dog pools are not large enough to allow for full swimming.
Most dogs should be able to rest in a dog pool without swimming. For smaller dogs, this may mean filling the dog pool up only halfway or purchasing a smaller pool. Some breeds, such as Bulldogs and Dachshunds, may struggle in the water. Dogs should be monitored at all times while using a dog pool.
