I have a lot of dog=yes + amenity=drinking_water almost all look like the

Seems like not that big of an issue in the grand scheme of things I’ve seen
many humans do far worse to a fountain/drinking water than a dog could. If
someone hasn’t figured out drinking fountain yet tagging them different
really is unlikely to “fix” that.
