Ensuring that your pet always has an adequate amount of water available to it is of the upmost importance. This is true anytime of the year, but perhaps especially so during the hot weather months. A Drinkwell pet fountain is a great way to provide your pet(s) with a constant stream of unpolluted, revitalizing water.
There are a number of underlying factors why a fountain such as the aforementioned is superior to a water bowl. Water placed in a dish easily becomes stagnant, is prone to the accumulation of debris and after a while, begins to taste stale.
There are many benefits that pet owners often associate with fountains, a Drinkwell pet fountain in particular. It allows pets to drink from a freefalling water stream. This is typically more revitalizing than water which has become stagnant after sitting in a bowl.
Water that is streaming also tends to be more intriguing to pets and they are thus, more likely to drink from it. Getting pets to drink can sometimes be laborious, especially as they age and/or become ill. They are much more likely to drink from a fountain than a bowl even when suffering from the aforementioned.
Fountains like those made by Drinkwell incorporate special features which help to eliminate odor and bad tastes. They often contain a charcoal filter, which is replaceable. This type of filter helps on both accounts.
The Drinkwell cat water fountain holds up to 50 ounces of water which makes life easier for the pet owner. With the addition of an optional reservoir, the fountain can hold up to 120 ounces of water. Because it holds so much, owners are able to wait several days between fillings.
Splashing and spills are minimized because of the built-in receiving ramp. Individuals whose floors need to be protected from water spills and leakage will especially benefit from this sort of fountain. However, they may want to place something under it for additional protection.
Homes with multiple pets may find this particular fountain to be a good choice because it may allow them to provide water for more than one pet. This however, will depend on how many pets are in the home and their size. A home with more than one large dog may need more than one fountain.
One of the things that pet owners like best about the Drinkwell pet fountain is how quiet it is. The 12 volt system is virtually silent. There is one exception, when it is low on water. Re-filling the fountain will quickly fix this problem. The one year warranty offered by the company and the ease in which it is to clean the fountain are highly prized as well.
