How to choose the right fountain for your pets
-
Material - Stainless steel and ceramic are hygienic, easy to clean, and more resistant to bacteria than plastic. Plastic is lightweight and inexpensive, but requires more frequent cleaning.
-
Water filtration - multi-layer filters (e.g., foam + carbon) help remove hair, dirt, and odors, encouraging drinking and reducing the risk of health problems.
-
Noise and sound of water - quiet operation is key. Some fountains offer a quiet motor or gentle handling of the water surface.
-
Tank volume - a larger capacity (e.g., 2-3 liters) is ideal for multiple pets or longer periods at home without supervision.
-
Easy cleaning - choose fountains with parts that are easy to disassemble and dishwasher safe.
Why choose an automatic fountain for pets
-
Better hydration - running water is more attractive to animals and encourages them to drink more, reducing the risk of urinary or kidney problems.
-
Clean, oxygen-rich water - the constant movement of the water prevents the growth of bacteria and ensures a fresh source of drinking water.
-
Time saving - fountains with a larger capacity can handle drinking needs for days in advance, saving the owner time. Calmer animals - for some pets, the movement of water is calming and more natural than a static bowl.
