We have been told by lots of people that dogs and vinyl pools don't mix, but we got a vinyl pool anyway. Our 2 dogs are not around the pool unless we are there. One dog won't even come close to the pool, but the other one comes right up to the edge. We've thrown her in a couple of times, and guided her to the steps. My hope is that she doesn't want to get in, but can get herself to the steps if she does happen to FALL in. Just don't ever let the dog get out of the pool any other way than the steps, or they will put holes in the liner for sure.
