The 5 Best Self-Watering Pet Fountains to Refresh With

    Tags: date_May_2016 (11)Uncategorized (86)
Every pet parent knows it’s important to keep fresh water around for their best friend so they stay hydrated and free of urinary and kidney diseases. However, if you have a large dog, multiple dogs, or very picky cats, you know it’s not always easy to keep a standard bowl of water clean and enticing. Which is exactly why you should consider switching to a pet water fountain. Running water streams from pet fountains mimic the water sources your pet would search for in the wild. Did you know that some domesticated cats shun all standing water by instinct? Water that falls or circulates becomes aerated with more oxygen than standing water, making it a healthier choice. Plus, most pet fountains have built-in filtration devices so your pet constantly enjoys water free of odors and metallic tastes—which means they’ll start drinking more. Here are 5 of our favorite self-watering pet fountains:

PetSafe Drinkwell Platinum Pet Fountain

The PetSafe Drinkwell Platinum pet fountain’s free-falling water stream flows like a waterfall, calling your pets to drink up. It has built-in reservoir with the capacity to hold 168 ounces so you won’t have to constantly refill it. The BPA-plastic is even top-shelf dishwasher safe. You’ll need to replace the carbon filters to keep the water filtered.

Pioneer Pet Raindrop Oval Stainless Steel Fountain

The Pioneer Pet Raindrop Fountain is the only fountain on our list made of high-grade stainless steel. Plus, instead of the water free-falling, it actually circulates around the bowl like a rushing river whirlpool. This 60 oz. capacity fountain also uses replaceable carbon filters for filtration and is dishwasher safe.
