This is a well-constructed splash pad. The plastic is thick and stands up to dog claws. The light color prevents it from getting too hot. My dogs did not like the fountain coming out of the top of the cone - they were scared to get on the pad when the fountain was on. They liked it much better with the fountain off. It would be nice to have running water somewhere other than the top of the cone. Finally, you definitely need a pump to inflate!

Unfortunately my dog had absolutely no interest in the product. Also for anyone else considering this product you do need to inflate it. I will most likely give to my neighbor or donate it to Goodwill
