A large share of renters have pets, and they choose communities accordingly. A fenced dog run is a good start, but it’s the details, like shade, waste stations and fresh water, that make residents actually use it.
Why a fountain beats a bowl
- No daily chores for staff. No bowls to scrub or refill.
- More sanitary. Fresh water on demand instead of a shared bowl that can spread germs between dogs.
- Looks the part. A clean architectural fountain says “premium amenity” in leasing photos and tours.
- Low maintenance. Commercial materials and easy-access service panels.
Choosing a model
For a plumbed dog run, the Cool Dog Water Fountain gives residents a push-button drink. The version with a hose bib adds a hose connection that staff can use to wash down turf and residents can use to rinse muddy paws. If there’s no water line, the portable fountain runs from a garden hose.
Match your brand
Fountains come in seven standard Color Play® finishes, and we can match a custom color to your community’s branding.
