Anyone tried this with their dog? Size wise, how was it? Did you feel that the floor material was sturdy enough for paw traffic?

I was out for a rainy weekend in March with my dog Baby, a 45 lb pit bull, on the Minister Creek Trail in the Allegheny Nat'l Forest. She is not the biggest dog, but there was still plenty of room for both of us thanks to the huge vestibule that held all my gear. I brought a fleece lap blanket for her to lay on, because I was worried about her claws on the thin fabric, but at one point she stretched really hard and her nails pressed pretty firmly against the tent wall. Fortunately, there was no poking, not even a nail stretch-mark. The mini-door is one of the coolest features of this tent. Every tent should have one! It makes a perfect "pee-hole"! The best feeling is not having to exit the tent in the rain to go relieve. I can't say enough good about this thing.

My 60 lb. yellow lab has plenty of room in the 10 sq.ft. vestibule area of my BA Emerald Mountain SL1 (same overall dimensions as this tent). The lack of space & the thin floor material prevents me from allowing her inside even though she exhibits a great desire to be there. My heart is broken.

Hey David, Thanks for the response! Right now young Piper and I sleep in a Eureka SpitFire 1. I think it's listed at having only 18sq ft of floor space. So I'm hoping this would be better. We're a little cramped in the SpitFire, but it's doable!

This is a pretty small tent, it depends on how big you are and how big your dog is. Most of the tent floor would be covered by your sleeping pad and bag so I wouldn't say that the dogs paws would do much damage.
