A dog water fountain works by circulating and filtering water, providing your dog with fresh, clean water to drink. When your dog approaches the fountain, you must press the button to circulate the water, which flows out of the nozzle into the bowl.

Cleaning and maintaining a dog water fountain is important to ensure that it remains in good working condition and provides your dog with clean, fresh water. Here are some steps you can take to clean and maintain your dog water fountain:

1. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions: The first step is to follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and maintaining the fountain. These instructions may vary depending on the type and model of the fountain.

2. Clean the fountain bowl: Clean the fountain bowl with warm soapy water, and rinse it thoroughly. Use a non-abrasive cleaning solution, and avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the fountain.

3. Check the fountain regularly: Check the fountain regularly to ensure that it is working properly and that the water is clean and fresh. Refill the fountain with water as needed, and clean it again as necessary.

When choosing water fountains for dogs, there are several features you should consider to ensure that you select the right one for your dog. Here are some features to look for:

Material: Look for a fountain made from durable, high-quality materials that are safe for your dog. Stainless steel is a popular choice.

Design: Consider the design of the fountain and whether it is easy to clean and maintain.

Noise level: Look for a fountain that is quiet and doesn't produce loud, disturbing noises. This will help your dog feel more comfortable drinking from the fountain.

Multi-pet use: If you know your dog park will be in a busy area, look for a fountain that can accommodate multiple dogs at a time, like our Fido Double Fountain.
