Fences, gates and grass make a dog park. Water makes it a place people stay. Ask regular visitors what their park is missing and fresh water is usually near the top of the list.
Dogs at play need water
Running, chasing and wrestling raise a dog’s temperature quickly, and dogs cool themselves mostly by panting. Without water nearby, owners cut visits short, or dogs drink from puddles.
Bowls and jugs don’t scale
A communal bowl needs constant refilling and quickly becomes unsanitary. (Here’s why shared bowls are a problem.) Asking owners to bring their own works for some, but not for everyone.
What a dedicated dog fountain offers
- Fresh water on demand, with no standing water
- A dog-height bowl that dogs learn to use quickly
- Commercial materials that stand up to heavy public use
- No daily refilling or scrubbing for staff
- ADA-friendly design
Choosing the right model
Plumbed parks can install the Cool Dog Water Fountain or add a hose with the hose bib version. Parks without a water line can use the portable fountain, which connects to a garden hose. And for muddy paws, there’s the Rinse Water Station.
