Has anyone tried this out while camping with a dog? I got a prolite because I was concerned that my dog's claws might potentially pop a Neoair and they're damned expensive. How well do these hold up?

Really any pad is vulnerable to the claws of a dog. Actually the Prolite's material is thinner than the NeoAirs, but does have the foam that helps back up the material. Your concern about puncture with a dog is a valid one and I would almost recommend a close cell option like the Z-Lite or RidgeRest. However, you might be better off with the TrailPro as this has one of the most durable outer materials made by Cascade Designs. It is heavier, but the durability tradeoff might be worth it. The NeoAir's material is fairly durable. It is made from a silicon coated nylon ripstop material that is quite substantial. The only concern really is it doesn't have the foam to back it up so if you do experience a puncture or tear, the pad will immediately deflate. If you do decide to try it, I would recommend the Fast & Light Repair Kit that will repair punctures (not tears) very quickly. Hope this helps...
