Know your dog. I knew purchasing this that my German Shepherd would love it and use it often, but my Husky would ignore it. She believes she will melt and would rather overheat than drink from the hose or a pool. Not all dogs will love this, but with training and patience I’m sure the majority would learn to use & enjoy it.
Why I chose Scuddles brand over others:
- This product is 100% metal construction and very durable! It’s not plastic nor cheaply made. For the price I expected quality and this exceeded my expectations by far!
- There’s a screw inside the pedal that adjusts the water pressure / how far it sprays. I played with this to get it just right for my pup. Had there not been an adjustment, I’m not sure my pup would’ve used it. It started off with a lot of pressure which would have been a turn off to him using it. So be sure to adjust this for your dog.
- Splitter included for your hose or water spicket, although this piece is heavy plastic and I’ll probably replace it with a metal one in the future… it was still thoughtful of the company to include it so your hose isn't only dedicated to watering your dog all season.
- Size. The pedal of this product is large enough for the largest of dog paws and easy to press for even the smallest breeds.
If you’ve read all this, hopefully it helped you. I don’t generally post reviews, let alone videos/pictures unless I really love or hate the product. In this case I would 100% recommend this product and will continue to tell all my dog friends about it. :)
