Ok as long as we're on the subject of pets and hot tubs, here is my little living doorbell (yapper)
(The dog, not the kid!)

I did a search here in the forums for dogs/pets in the hot tub nothing came up so I thought this thread is ok to pose my question to y'all with dogs. That there below is my little man and he's with me 24/7, goes everywhere with me, he just enjoys the outdoors & going out as much as possible whereas our maltese hates to leave the house.
So my question is this, it's very warm in So ca right now and when we get our tub I can't wait to go in with my yorkie. Before you peta folks go crazy hear me out ok. So cause it's warm I'll leave the water temp lower like say in the low 90's during the peak of the day. I just know he will love it, he'll follow me & jump in right after he sees me get in. And of course I'm not going to let him in there very long.
Anybody else here done the same thing with their pooch,..hopefully ? :P

Serious guys?...nobody here let your pooch in the spa with y'all.

You have to remember a hot tub is not a pool. I read somewhere that 1 dog = 50 bathers so that would mean that you'll drain the water every other week if you let your dog in 4 times during that period.
I do have a dog and don't see the need to put her into my tub even if she liked the water, my last dog didn't like the water either. The only thing hot tub related my dog does is jump up onto the cover when it's closed to survey her kingdom ... and every so often to take a nap! When I'm in the tub she will be outside with me and she comes by every so often to say "HI", putting her front paws onto the shell and licking my head.

Did you see my little Yorkie? he's only about 7 lbs, plus I'll brush him really good to get any excess hair and I'll give him a quick minute bath wash from the patio hose so he'll be nice & clean. I not sure where you got that equation from = 50 bathers but that's just not possible.
Think about it,..his little whole body, the amount of hair is more or less equal to a human's head full of hair esp the ladies.
Oh wait I just remember,..there was a Sundance dealer I talked with when I was close to getting the Capri she said they let their 2 dogs in all the time and the filtration takes care of that with ease. She was the sales manager with 15 yrs exp and her dogs were a shit zu & doberman.
I even said that I'll turn the heat down to say low 90's and she replied back that it doesn't matter she leaves the temp at 100. The day I was at the Sundance dealer was after I posted my question. So anybody out there who was on the fence should feel ok with letting their family pooch in.
