Vet clinics, daycares and boarding kennels see dozens of dogs a day, often with unknown health histories. In those settings, how dogs drink is a health decision, not just a convenience.
The problem with shared bowls
A water bowl shared by many dogs collects saliva, dirt and debris. It can help pass along common communicable illnesses such as kennel cough and giardia. Staff can scrub bowls all day, and the next dog still drinks after the last one.
Fresh water on demand
The Cool Dog Water Fountain delivers fresh water into a fast-draining stainless steel bowl only when the button is pressed. With no standing water, there’s nowhere for germs to collect between dogs, and nothing for staff to refill.
Good fits
- Outdoor relief and exercise yards at veterinary clinics
- Daycare and boarding play yards
- Grooming salons with outdoor runs
- Training facilities and pet resorts
Practical details
Stainless steel and powder-coated finishes are easy to wipe down and disinfect. A hose bib model gives staff a convenient hose for washing down runs. For indoor bathing, our sister company makes Cool Dog Wash Tubs.
