New liner question

[Loree]

My new pond will be dug soon, so I need to start looking at liners. We have a puppy now that ALWAYS stops at my current "pond" aka stock tank for a drink. I'm not naive in thinking the pup won't get into the new pond. He hates water, but loves drinking that water. That said...should I be looking at something thicker than 45mil? Or will 45 be thick enough to prevent Harvey's claws from puncturing? Not sure what I should be looking for. Thanks!

45 mil will be fine.
What kind of dog is Harvey?

He's a pit mix. Only 4 mo old right now. Not sure how big he's gonna get. He's about 30-lb at the moment

It'll be ok. My dogs are 120 lbs and they didn't bother the liner.

Oh that makes me feel better... Thank you so much.

The 45 will be fine. My pittie mix had been over 90 pounds (until a diet after knee surgery) and he spent a lot if time chasing frogs in the pond. Harvey may end up about the size of mine, Buster was 4 months old and 33 pounds when i got him, best dog ever.

pitts can get over 100lbs and can get very muscular and that depends on how much they are mixed .Some times the pit takes over and the mixed part never appears .I have owned 2 and my son owns 3 of them .You will need to keep his claws trimmed.
