It shouldn't do the system any harm if you let the dog have a swim the only thing is that you may have to keep a closer eye on the hair filter against the pool pump as dogs can leave a lot of hair behind in the water

Any animals in a swimming pool with a vinyl liner has the potential to poke holes or rip your liner. I have seen where dogs have torn large size rips in the liner while they were trying to get out. There is a product in my area called a Skamper-Ramp that you could install so your pet always has a safe, easy way out without damaging your swimming pool.

== == If you dog is on the large size they should be OK, but always be there for a pet just as you would a child. If the liner is attached and not flopping around it should be fine, and there is no reason a sand filter should bother a dog (however, check with a pool place to be sure.) It's also best to hose your dog down after they swim in the pool because of the chlorine. Many humans do this. The chlorine can irritate some dog's skin. WARNING: When it's time to put the cover on your pool, and if it is not secured by snaps on the sides of the pool, NEVER let kids or your pets near the pool. My own dog bent over an above-ground pool out of curiosity and fell in. Unfortunately, the owners of the pool had a loose cover floating on top. The more my dog tried to swim to safety, the more the plastic cover got wrapped around her legs. Fortunately, I was close by and able to get her out or I would have had one dead pet on my hands.

How much does it cost to install a vinyl swimming pool versus fiberglass pool?

Well first of all there is no such thing as a fiberglass pool. You can have fiberglass walls instead of steel but your pool is still vinyl because you need a liner. These are the usual combinations of inground pools. Sand floor, steel walls, vinyl liner Sand floor, fiberglass walls, vinyl liner Vermiculite floor, steel walls, vinyl liner Vermiculite floor, fiberglass walls, vinyl liner Concrete floor, steel walls, vinyl liner Concrete floor, fiberglass walls, vinyl liner Concrete floor, concrete walls, no liner Concrete pools have to be painted with epoxy paint or if you want tile installed then usually you plaster over the concrete.
