Our water fountain is made of heavy-gauge steel and a copper valve to prevent leakage while the hose is tamper-resistant for no holes or punctures. The paw-print pedal is made of durable steel plate for a concrete stepping surface (no flimsy of cheap plastic), which rubber friction pads to reduce unwanted skid and movement. The attached hose is also 40.5-inch long for ease of use in any backyard or front yard. With on purchase, you get 9 x 9.4 in dog water fountain,  40.5-inch long hose and two-way splitter attachment.
