Best Paddling Pools for Dogs

Back

There's nothing more refreshing on a hot day, for us humans, than a dip in the pool – and the same goes for your dog. So a paddling pool, in a shady spot in your garden, filled with cool but not freezing cold water, (that can cause your pet's body to go into shock on a very hot day), would be a real treat. We have done a round up of our top pools for pooches.

What is the best type of pool for my dog?

The ideal type of pool will vary depending on your needs. If you have a big dog then durabilty and size would probaby be at the top of the list, however, if you want something more portable, then an inflatable or foldable pool would perhaps be a better choice.  It may be worth spending that little bit extra in order to get a durable pool that will stand the test of time rather than replacing each year, also a lot more "eco friendly".

 

A simple drain makes filling and draining this pool a quick and easy task. The paneled sides mean that it can be folded up for easy storage and it requires no inflating.

This pool benefits from a non-slip base for added safety and reinforced walls for durability. It is made from Non-toxic, waterproof, wear and tear resistant PVC composite fabric, making it safe and durable to use. The material is environmentally friendly and the surface of the plate is polished very smooth, which avoids it puncturing the fabric, it is also cold-resistant meaning it can be left out all year round.
