I was worried about the hose being too short, but at 41 inches it reaches perfectly across my patio. The whole setup is compact enough that it doesn't take over the porch, and my pup took to it right away.

My dog figured out how to use this thing in about five minutes, and the 2.75-inch base is compact enough that it doesn’t take over the patio. The hose reaching 41 inches means I can set it up away from the wall, which keeps the water bowl from getting splashed with mud.

The 41-inch hose gives me plenty of slack to reach my dog’s favorite spot under the tree, and the fountain’s footprint is compact enough that it doesn't take over the patio. Water flows steadily whenever he nudges it, which keeps him entertained and hydrated on hot days.
