Step-On Outdoor Dog Water Fountain with Hose and Paw Pedal

This outdoor fountain turns drinking into something your dog does by pressing a pedal. Connect it to a water tube or a threaded faucet with the hose, and the paw-print pedal releases a stream of water when your dog steps on it. It is meant for medium to large dogs and works without batteries or a plug.

The body is iron with a spray-paint finish in white, and the pedal is held up by a spring that is 1.1 in (2.8 cm) high. It measures 9.1 x 9.8 x 2.0 in (23.2 x 25 x 5 cm), weighs 2.65 lb (1.2 kg) and comes with a 39.4 in (1 m) hose. A plastic splitter with a locking design lets you adjust the water pressure and volume, and the shut-off valve stops the flow when the fountain is not in use.

Setup takes only a few minutes: thread the splitter onto the faucet, attach the hose to the fountain and open the valve. Place it in a shady spot, away from electrical outlets and cords, so the sun does not heat the water standing in the hose.

Disconnect it in freezing weather to prevent freezing and damage to the fountain and hose. Because the stream sprays, expect the ground around it to get wet, and put it on grass or gravel rather than a patio you want to keep dry.
