The 10 Best Pet Water Fountains – GWC Mag

Ensuring that our beloved pets stay well-hydrated is a fundamental responsibility of every pet parent. The significance of providing fresh, clean water for our dogs and cats cannot be overstated. A simple and effective solution to meet this requirement is the ever-advantageous pet water fountain. These devices not only quench your pets’ thirst but also offer a multitude of advantages for both the pet and their parent.

1. PETLIBRO

Dockstream App Monitoring Water Fountain has an app that allows monitor your cat’s water intake. It’s also easy to clean, install, and is made with BPA-free materials! This product is $79.99 but will be discounted to $63.99 for Amazon Black Friday from November 17-27.

As Amazon’s Choice, it has high reviews. Nicole said, “I bought this for my cats to have a water container where the sun couldn’t evaporate the water too fast while we went out of town for the weekend. I also could track how much water was in it and how much my cats drank. The notifications are a pain to clear out on the app, but otherwise, the app works well with it.

But the part I love the most is how easy to clean it. I’ve always done filtered water bowls, and it’s always a pain to unplug the water bowl, but having this fountain it’s wireless for the pump making it easy to fill and clean it. It also looks very nice on the cabinet for my cats to access. It looks like a nice water fountain with the nice sounds of a water fountain.

I wish they would come up with one with a deeper bowl for bigger dogs – if/ when they do, I will definitely purchase one for my beagle/ coonhound mix. Until then, this is great for cats and small dogs.”

2. AONBOY

AONBOY Pet Water Fountain is stainless steel, holds 3.2L of water, and is silent. It costs $48.99.

It has extremely high reviews! Rachael said, “I am cat-sitting for a friend and his cat (Gypsy) refused to use the fountain I already had for my cat (Eva). Gypsy didn’t like drinking from the water spout so I figured a fountain with an actual basin would do the trick, and I was right. Gypsy drinks from this one and so does Eva to no surprise.

I actually like this a lot more than our old fountain, it’s super quiet I can’t even hear it from on the couch it’s next to. It’s also got a lot fewer components than other fountains so it’s much easier to clean without any additional tools, just a small pipe cleaner for the spout itself. The water scum doesn’t stick super hard to the stainless steel either which is great, unlike the plastic ones we had before.”

3. PETKIT

PETKIT Eversweet Solo SE is quiet, anti-dry, and wireless. It holds 1.85 liters of water. This product comes in both white and grey and costs $29.99.

One reviewer said, “I’ve bought this fountain three times, that’s how happy I am with it. My cats love it. The fact that it can detect when water is low and shut off the pump is huge, every other cat fountain I’ve used has run dry at one point or another and either burned out the motor or just made an annoying noise.

What I love about this fountain is that every time I buy it, I can see they’ve made improvements to it. This time is the biggest improvement, the pump being self-contained and wireless is a game changer, makes it so much easier to clean”

4. Veken

Veken Pet Water Fountain is perfect for both dogs and cats. It comes in 6 colors and has an easy-to-read scale so you know when to refill it. It costs $23.99.

Mary P. said, “My cats love this fountain! We bought it after learning that cats prefer moving water and will have more interest in drinking. Cats that eat dry kibble are more likely to develop kidney issues if they do not drink enough water, so we started looking for a water source that would keep them coming back. It took them a little time to get used to it but they were IMMEDIATELY interested and checking it out. You do need to clean the pump filter every 2 weeks and also change the disposable filter every so often, but it is so worth it. The pump filter keeps the debris from clogging the fountain and it has a cute LED light that can be on or off. We keep it lit as a night light in the hall. I highly recommend it!”

5. UIOOQ

UIOOQ Cat Water Fountain has an ultra-silent pump, and a carbon filter, and holds 2.2 liters of water. It costs $29.99.

Jo Gravitt left a review saying, “We purchased this fountain for our new kitten. It took her a little time to get used to it, but once she finally was able to determine what it was, she used it all the time. We enjoy the relaxing sound of the continuous flow of water. The fountain has a calming blue light feature that makes it easy to see at night. The unit has an electric cord, so we don’t have to replace the batteries. ( I purchased at a local hardware store plastic power cord protectors for all of our electrical lights and appliances (including this fountain) that keep the kitten from chewing through the power cord.)”

6. PetSafe Drinkwell

PetSafe Drinkwell Pet Water Fountain includes a pump and water filter. It is dishwasher safe, easy to clean, and holds one gallon of water — but you can get it in other sizes! It costs $34.95.

One reviewer said, “This is a great water bowl for a multi-pet family. I just add water every morning to keep it at/near the 2-gallon capacity. It is great for the big and little fur babies. I appreciate that there is a dampener to adjust the water flow as some animals are wary of the loud waterfall. There has been no leaking and it is withstanding pets that vary from 6-75#. Definitely recommend it!”

7. GOOSTOO

GOOSTOO Pet Water Fountain filters water, has an LED light, and two flow modes, and it is extremely quiet. It costs $29.99.

One reviewer said, “This fountain was very easy to put together. It took about two minutes. My cats seem to like it. It holds a good volume of water. Make sure that you position the foam filter around the pump at its lowest position so that it covers the intake holes and leaves the blue LED light exposed. It serves as a dim non-disturbing nightlight for you and your pets. The minimalistic design makes it easy to clean. I cleaned mine before putting it in use as I do with all new items my pets use to eat or drink out of. My older cat does not like the waterfall-type fountains so this works!”

8. Veken

The Veken Pet Fountain holds 2.5 liters of water, comes with three replacement filters, and has a silicone mat to protect your floors! It costs $25.99 and comes in two colors.

One reviewer said, “My sweet Calico cat likes her water bowl to flow like a faucet and that’s how I have to give water. Constantly wiggling a pitcher of water while she drinks. So now she is able to take care of herself and I don’t have to be there all the time since we got her this contestant flowing purified water bowl. She still likes it when we give her water from the pitcher but at least I know when I am not there she can keep hydrated on her own. This is a great buy and so relieved we made this purchase.”

9. Petlibro

PETLIBRO Cat Water Fountain holds 2.1 liters of water, is BPA-Free, has two flow modes, and comes in six colors including blue, purple, green, and orange. It costs $29.99.

Anna left a review saying, “Our 2 cats love to jump on the counter and drink out of the sink, or topple over cups of water and drink off the counter. We found a circulating fountain that nearly eliminated those maddening annoyances. We spent less money on a cheaper fountain than this and it was super noisy and gross to clean and stopped working after only 2 years. We also had to have it close to an outlet which made for some inconveniences. I decided to splurge a bit and get this fountain, even though it really isn’t too costly. The design of this thing is FAR superior to the fountain we had before. The mechanism for the water movement is in a place where pet hair is far less likely to clog it up. It is buried in water like in a fish tank, so it is super quiet. I can’t even hear it. The water stays quite clean because most of the water is covered up, yet you’re able to tell what the water level is. Our cats love it, it’s nice to look at, and my favorite part is that I don’t have to have it near an outlet. It comes with a cord that plugs into a USB-type outlet. So I am able to put it on top of a little cabinet next to the cats’ food. I plugged it into a power bank, pulled the cord around the back of it, and tucked it in the upper drawer (pictured, cord coming around the right side). I just have to charge it once a week.”

10. Kastty

Kastty Pet Water Fountain is extra large and holds 7 liters of water, meaning it is great for multiple pets or larger animals! It comes in five colors and costs $69.99.

Dustin Smith said, “Love this thing. My dog who is a year old has stage 3 kidney disease and we were having trouble getting her to drink. With this, she is fascinated by it and always over there slurping it up. We have had it for over a month and with three large dogs it’s really being tested. I’m happy I bought it.”

Few innovations offer as many advantages as the pet water fountain. These devices are not just about providing water; they are about nurturing the well-being of our beloved furry friends. By mimicking the allure of natural water sources and maintaining a constant supply of clean, fresh water, pet fountains cater to the distinct needs and preferences of both cats and dogs.

Furthermore, their capacity to cool and oxygenate the water, coupled with large reservoirs that cater to various pet sizes and dietary needs, means you can ensure your pets remain hydrated without constant refilling. Pet fountains don’t merely prevent parchedness; they also maintain a clean and safe water supply by trapping dirt and fur and removing impurities. The result? A happier, healthier, and more refreshed companion.
