Who doesn’t like a quick dip in the pool to cool off on a hot summer day? Most dogs are no different. While large swimming pools can pose a variety of risks to dogs, a portable, quick-set-up dog pool is a no-stress way for everyone to get their splash on.
We combed through the dog pools available on Amazon.com to find the ones dog owners like you prefer the most. All turned out to be folding options that are easy to put away in-between uses. Though most are made of extra-tough materials, you should always trim your dog’s nails before letting him in the pool. Very few pools can stand up to an excited splashing dog with untrimmed nails!
Here are the five best dog pools available on Amazon. (To be considered for the list, the product must have a minimum of 50 reviews.)
