Dog Drinking Fountains

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Pawcet Provides an Easy Way for Pooches to Gain Backyard Hydration

— December 30, 2015 — Lifestyle
A puppy that likes to play in the garden for hours needs the kind of access to water that this dog drinking fountain can provide. Tony Lytle designed this product that he calls the Pawcet: a faucet that can be operated by the push of a canine paw.

This dog drinking fountain comprises a red plastic container that's molded into the shape of a thick, flat tile. It accommodates the hookup of the common 5/8 inch garden hose, which is used to regularly fill it up. Despite being at capacity, the Pawcet remains sealed until a thirsty animal comes along and steps on it. When a foot is placed in the center of the reservoir, a hole in the top opens up and begins spouting due to the pressure. This alternative dog bowl is a way to enable the independence of your pet.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Pet Watering Systems - The proliferation of smart technology has led to the development of smart pet watering systems, which allows pet owners to remotely control and monitor their pet's water intake.
2. Sustainable Pet Products - Eco-conscious pet owners are increasingly seeking out sustainable pet products, such as dog drinking fountains made from recycled materials.
3. Outdoor Pet Accessories - The trend towards spending more time outdoors with pets has spurred the development of innovative outdoor pet accessories like the Pawcet dog drinking fountain.
Industry Implications
1. Pet Care Industry - The pet care industry can take advantage of the trend towards sustainable and smart pet products to develop new, innovative offerings for consumers.
2. Home and Garden Industry - The home and garden industry can capitalize on the trend towards outdoor pet accessories by developing and marketing products specifically designed for pet-friendly outdoor spaces.
3. Smart Technology Industry - The smart technology industry can benefit from the trend towards smart pet watering systems by creating new products and services to meet the needs of pet owners.
