Best dog paddling pools: depth, grip and storage

The best dog paddling pool is easy for your dog to enter and leave, stands securely on suitable ground and can be emptied and cleaned without a struggle. For most garden use, shallow supervised paddling is the relevant job. A deeper pool is not automatically a better purchase or a safe swimming lesson.
