I wasn't about this item. I wanted something to keep our dogs cool when we were outside on hot days in the summer. We have two Bulldogs who cannot take the heat. They LOVE this pool (once they figured out what it was). I was worried about it being too tall for them to get into and worried about the quality as we thought they would tear it with their nails. Nope- perfect height, super strong material and great overall quality. Best part is- the dogs love it.
