5 Things To Consider When Looking For A Dog Fire Hydrant

By Margaret Smeltz


A dog fire hydrant is a fun and eye-catching tool you can use to help create a bathroom spot for your pet. Although there are a couple of things you'll need to consider first. So here are five things you'll want to think about when purchasing one.

The location of your hydrant is critical. What works best will depend partly on your yard but you will also need to put it somewhere that won't flood. You don't want your dog peeing on fire hydrant in an area which could cause a mess when there's heavy rainfall.

The size of the hydrant you choose matters. It needs to be tall enough for your pooch to pee on. This can be easy to judge if your dog is already an adult. However if you have a puppy you may want to think twice about purchasing a mini fire hydrant for dogs that he'll soon outgrow. You'll want to choose something that will be big enough for your pet to use when he's full grown as well.

There's actually more than one color. While red is definitely the color most people associate with hydrants and the most popular, there are other options too. Doggy hydrants are available in options such as yellow, green, and blue along with other a handful of other choices. If you want something to add a splash of color to your outdoor space picking one that's bright and bold is an easy solution.

There are multiple materials that work for different preferences. If you'd like something that costs as little as possible a plastic fire hydrant for dogs is an easy choice. For those who prefer more detail one made from resin is ideal. And while they may cost more, options made from metal can look so realistic they're confused for being real.

Many hydrants come with extremely handy features. For instance some are made to be hollow so that they can be used for storage. This can be a big help when you'd like to keep doggy supplies nearby. Another option is a scented dog fire hydrant. These have a special scent that lets puppies and adults know that they should urinate on them. And this can be a big help since it requires no training or effort on your part. But of course providing some treats will help.

With a dog fire hydrant potty you're pooch will always know where to go to the bathroom. And by considering these five things first you're sure to choose the best one for both of your needs.
