Main risks

• Drowning or aspiration in dogs and children if left unsupervised, even in shallow water.
• Slips and falls of dogs or people on wet surfaces around the pool.
• Tears, punctures or deformations causing sudden spills and potential injuries.
• Cuts or scratches from damaged edges, loose seams or abrasive surfaces.
• Skin and eye irritation from dirty water or from using unsuitable soaps and products.
• Thermal stress: water that is too cold or hot, and direct sun exposure without shade.
• Ingestion of fragments if the dog chews the edges or the drain plug.
• Claws or paw pads snagging on folds, seams or drains.
• Proliferation of mosquitoes and bacteria in stagnant water.
• Damage from leaks on indoor floors if used in areas not prepared for it.

Safe use

• Place the pool on a flat, level, clean surface, free of stones or sharp objects; use a protective base if possible.
• Fill only to a height appropriate to the dog's size; start with shallow water and increase gradually if the animal is comfortable.
• Continuously supervise the dog and children during use; do not leave them alone near water.
• Avoid high jumps and rough play; provide a non-slip entry and exit (ramp or low edge).
• Check the water temperature by hand; provide shade and frequent breaks to prevent overheating or chilling.
• Keep the surrounding area as dry as possible to reduce slipping; remove obstacles around it.
• Check the condition of seams, panels and the drain plug before each use; do not use if you detect cracks, leaks or sharp edges.
• Remove collars, harnesses or garments that could snag; keep the dog's nails trimmed to minimise punctures.
• Stop the session if the dog shows fatigue, excessive panting, coughing, shivering or stress.
• Do not move the pool when it is full; drain via the outlet, directing the water to a safe area, away from sockets and walkways.

Storage and maintenance

• Change the water frequently; preferably use clean water without additives not intended for pets.
• Rinse and dry the pool after each use to prevent mould, bad odours and material degradation.
• Do not leave standing water in the sun; empty or cover it when not in use.
• Periodically inspect edges, folds and the plug to detect leaks, open seams or rough areas; replace if damaged.
• Store the pool completely dry, folded without forcing, in a cool, shaded place, away from heat sources.
• Keep the stored pool away from rodents and sharp objects that could puncture it.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to the elements when not in use; UV rays and frost can damage the material.
• If you clean with a pet-safe product, rinse thoroughly before the next use.

Restrictions of use

• It is not a pool or a bathtub for people; do not allow children to bathe.
• Do not use as a drinking bowl nor allow the dog to drink soapy or dirty water.
• Do not add chlorine, bleach or other chemicals not specifically intended for pet products.
• Do not use on balconies, rooftops or elevated surfaces where a spill could cause damage or falls.
• Do not use near sockets, extension leads or appliances; keep electrical equipment at a distance from water.
• Do not use indoors unless the product clearly indicates it and the floor is protected against splashes and spills.
• Not suitable for dogs with open wounds, skin infections or bandages that must not get wet; for dogs with reduced mobility, constant assistance is required.
• Do not expose to extreme temperatures or use with ice or very hot water.
• Do not leave the animal unsupervised or allow it to chew the edges or the plug.
• Do not overload with additional weight (people or heavy objects) or force folds that could damage the seams.
