The sprinkler mat is made of high-density PVC with a non-slip surface that is durable enough for your dog to play on. No inflation is required; the water pad is very easy to set up. Simply connect it to your garden hose (quick connector included) and adjust the water pressure to increase or decrease the spray height. This splash pad provides a cool playground for your dog to play or bathe outdoors. A must-have for dogs on hot summer days. The mat can be folded down to a very compact size for easy transport and storage.
