If you’re a pet owner, you’ve probably seen or heard of pet water fountains, which circulate and filter water for dogs and cats. While they may seem like a bougie luxury, pet water fountains are an underutilized tool for pet health, according to veterinarians that HuffPost has previously interviewed.
Just like humans, pets would rather drink cold, fresh water than water that’s been sitting out in a bowl for hours, which can end up being a breeding ground for bacteria – and when your pet is well-hydrated, it lowers their risk of kidney disease, urinary tract infections and other health issues.
Here’s the problem: Pet water fountains tend to be an eyesore. It’s why pet owners are obsessed with this gorgeous one from Drew Barrymore’s Walmart-exclusive Beautiful line of home goods. It has a near-perfect 4.7-star rating and is selling out fast – and it’s actually just restocked after being completely sold out earlier in the summer.
Made for both dogs and cats, this pet water fountain has its own filtration system so the water it sprouts is always fresh and cool — without your having to worry about your water usage. Thanks to an internal filter, it removes any impurities so that your pet is drinking the cleanest water possible. Whether you have a big dog or a tiny kitten, they’ll be able to drink from the fountain easily.
One shopper with the username Brandywine who left a review said that the water fountain is helpful because it provides her two dogs with fresh water while they are at work during the day. “It’s really easy to set up, use and clean. Quiet too!” they shared.
“My senior kitty suffers from stage 3 kidney disease, so I know how important hydration is for cats,” wrote a customer with the username Cal29. “To ensure my other three cats remain healthy and that my sweet senior is getting the hydration he needs, I purchased this drinking fountain. It is amazing and all of my cats are drinking so much more water than they used to! It’s easy to clean, keeps the water fresh since it is constantly circulating, and it is quiet.”
Other shoppers left reviews rave about how stunning the fountain is and how easy it is to clean. It’s gotten the seal of approval from both dogs and cats.
Still not convinced you need it? Here are some other reviews from customers who bought it:
“I got this water fountain for my dogs and it has been working really well. It holds plenty of water, stays clean, and is very quiet. The design is simple and looks nice in the house. It is also easy to clean. I would definitely buy it again.” — LLee206
“I have two cats who drink a lot of water. We don’t have a ton of space so I was looking for a fountain we didn’t have to refill daily. I love the look of this one and it’s big enough to hold a good amount of water!” — ALO0031
“This drinking fountain has been amazing for my kitty! She has been enjoying getting her fresh water at any time and what I like the most is the height and depth of the fountain. The removable faucet is also pretty neat as it helps with keeping the filtration system clean at all times.” — YolaA.
“I couldn’t be happier with our new dog water bowl. It keeps the water nice and clean and fresh. And they look for it to fit into our kitchen without anyone knowing that it’s our dog’s water dish.” — Hollis
“I pet sit and have a Great Pyrenees myself. I was constantly filling the water dish. This has been a game-changer. It’s easy to set up, use and clean. Highly recommend.” — Radscribe
