Kiddie Pools for Big Paws???
« on: April 24, 2008, 03:25:17 am »
Hi Guys!
So...it's been getting warmer, and I bought a Kiddie pool from CVS for $12.99, doggies...LOVE D it.. (pictures attached)  BUT... it only lasted 2 days before it was completely destroyed..."Somebody" chewed a hole right through it...I'm not gonna say who...but anyways my question...

Does anyone know of a place that sells a decently sturdy, non-inflatable kiddie pool in the LA/OC area???

I swear it's easier to buy drugs on the corner than a pool for the pups these days...  Any input would be appreciated!

I have found the larger sized hard plastic kids pool for under 15.00 at both Walmart and Home Depot in my area you may want to check at yours.

Your water looks soooo clean!!

I also bought my kiddie pool at Wal-Mart, but the dogs don't lay in it, they drink it! ;D
I have to keep emptying it, or Beau would blow up!

lol Titan is scared of the pool, but he uses it as a huge water bowl...it is funny he is so excited that he can move around away from his drool! lol

Those pics are awesome!!! My vote is Walmart or Target to find a hard pool. Miss Libby is far to mature  ::) to ever be caught playing in a pool...but she does like to stick her face in our fish ponds up to her eye balls and leave a few floating slingers...thi nking that we'll never know she had her head in them.

Our local Petsmart carried them last year.

So I went on a mission today...I think hard plastic pools are outlawed in my area!! I found one at Petsmart but it was soo tiny!! I had to settle for the flimsy vinyl one from target....just gott constantly watch them otherwise someone will knock the side down...then I'll have a flood :P


But now, I have another problem...BEES!!! They love the flowery design, lol...I can't win.
