Paddling pools..

Anybody got one for their pooch? If so which one do you have? Inflatable or plastic? Worth buying? Bug is such a water baby, think it may be fun for when it's too hot for big walks!

Argos have this hun Chad Valley Blue Sand and Water Pit. 365/0691 perfect and no chance of its bursting

Wish mia liked water she hates puddles and the slightest drizzle of rain

We've got a plastic budget kids pool from Argos, we throw Rio's toys in there for him to retrieve on really hot days

Millie has a 10 ft pool and she loves swimming around in it and only cost £35

mines only inflatable round the top and the rest just expands as you fill the water so she can't burst it

Vin loves his its not hard plastic but not inflatable eitheronly cheap from factory shop, have had it 3 years so good buy here is a pic

I think I need to nip down to the Factory Shop...

Do non-rigid paddling pools not get ripped by claws though?

Its a good pool Liz

This is Katy's pool, she's not that impressed with it. I had to put her in it last year

£10 from Tesco
I haven't got it out for her yet this year but will try again

So none of these burst the second a dog's claw comes into contact with it?

Our one hasn't yet Liz, she steps over it

thinking im going to like this thread briliant photos

There appears to be a 6 foot one in my Ocado basket for next delivery. Only £13!

Have to get one for myself sorry for Iza.

I have a very hard plastic square one (& if Photobucket worked tonight I could show you !!), Koda LOVES it espesh when we hit the 40c+ mark great way to cool off quickly. I have to hide it in the garage though as this is his 2nd one, he ate the 1st when we were at work one day !!!

col oh koda

Millie in her pool

Oh Millie yours is a swimming pool

Oh my, that's a wonderful pool!

could use this myself great photo

Woah! Thanks for all of the replies guys Loads of options! They all look awesome. Was worried about an inflatable one due to claws/boisterousness also!

Hi Bug, you need to make sure your mummy gets you a pool, they are awesome! You can see our new one here:

luv and licks millie.

Ah she's a little gem Liz. Would love to meet her! Glad she's enjoying her pool hoping to get Bug one at the weekend! Where did you get yours?

Ocado, but you can get them on Amazon too:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ocean-Play-Snapset-Pool-56452/dp/B00005O6TW/ref=sr_1_22?s=kids&ie=UTF8&qid=1435866768&sr=1-22&keywords=intex+pool

£12 inc delivery, and they do smaller ones too. I'm not sure how claw proof it is so have it on a piece of tarp, with tarp inside (which of course floats!). But for that price I'm not overly worried if it doesn't last past the summer.

Your photos are amazing! I wish Bane liked water!! We were going to get him one of those hard plastic shell shaped sand pit/pool things but yet to get one...I think I might go and look for one again :p

I got Theia the Chad valley pools from Argos. We got the soft one last year, but Theia likes to dig in the water, so though the hard plastic one would last longer!!

That's my concern too Lynn.. But I wanted something a bit bigger aswell as being sturdy! Liz is your pool as huge as it looks?!

Got the plastic shell for Harrie its really a must have here in summer freeze some 2lt coke bottles and chuck then in along with a few toys and they love it.

6 foot, Rach. No, not hugly sturdy but it looked like the choice was either size or sturdiness rather than both, unless you go down the route of a rigid pond which is then quite expensive for that size. The sides of this one bend so I think they're ok, but the bottom liner isn't hugely thick which is why it's on an old tarp to protect from underneath and with tarp inside.

The alternative is what we've got at Danaher...

I wonder how George would feel about digging up the lawn?

I bought a 4ft pool for £6 from tesco today, very similar to yours Liz! Will set it up tomorrow and see how it holds up!
