Five Things To Think About When Considering 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.

Where you place your hydrant is very important. That's because the location you add it to will become your pet's bathroom space. It should therefore be an area with good drainage since you don't want your dog peeing on a fire hydrant in an area that is likely to flood as this will be sure to cause a mess.

Size definitely matters, although it's not hard to choose the right one. Just be sure not to go too small since all pooches can pee on large hydrants. So if you are buying something for a puppy you may not want to choose a mini fire hydrant for dogs unless he will stay small when he's full grown. Instead by going bigger you'll have something he can use for many years to come.

You have more color choices than red. Of course red however is the classic way to go and by far the most popular of all colors. However there are quite a few other color options as well. Doggy hydrants can be found in colors such as yellow, blue, green, and more to help you brighten up your outdoor space.

There are a handful of materials that hydrants can be made out of. The most realistic and also heavy are those made from metal. However they do normally cost more than other material choices as well. Resin options typically offer realism but are much more lightweight. And when you're on a budget or just want something that looks similar, a plastic fire hydrant for dogs is a great choice.

Some hydrants come with extra features that can be quite handy. For example a scented dog fire hydrant will come with a scent that helps young puppies instantly recognize that it is a place to urinate. This can also be very helpful when teaching an older dog to use one as well. Other options may come with a hollow core that can be used as storage for pet and outdoor supplies.

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.
