The Drinkwell Pet Fountain Review Summary
Cat owners who are concerned about the safety and comfort of their pets can't live without the Drinkwell Pet Fountain! This water fountain provides fresh, running water for your cats throughout the entire day. People love it because it is quiet and it encourages cats to drink water from it rather than their sinks, bathtubs, or toilets. Some owners describe it as "high maintenance", though, as it is expensive, the filters must be replaced, and it can difficult to clean. Despite the extra time and money involved in maintaining this unit, almost all of the cat lovers who own this unit highly recommend the Drinkwell Pet Fountain.

Favorable Review
I purchased the The Drinkwell Pet Fountain because my cat, Miles, has this thing where little bumps form around his lip area if he isn't well hydrated (I believe it's called ____ granulosa. I have a horrible memory and the sheet isn't right in front of me...). Besides giving Miles a cat…

Critical Review
ok, so some of us like to spoil their pets. I had bought one of these and clean it up every day to keep it running smoothly and after one month the motor stoped working. I was told to buy a new one or replace the motor for a price and for s&h. — I said forget it i'll go back to dish and…

concerned w/safety & comfort of my pets, used to working with animals, a pet owner, an animal lover, loving this product
Cats absolutely loves this watering dish. Now they don't sit on the counter and drink out of the spout. Cats are said that they like running water better. However, if you have dogs in the house or heavy drinkers, they can drain the water and run the motor out, so be…

We've been using the Drinkwell for about two years. The fact that it filters the water is the main feature we were looking for. After all, we are drinking filtered water; why shouldn't our cats? The charcoal filter is supposed to filter out bad tastes and odors. — Our cats love to drink from the running spout! The water is continuously aerated and flowing. It seems a more natural way to get their water. It's not stagnant water like when drinking from a bowl; it is oxygenated. — The major drawback of the Drinkwell is that it…

an animal lover, concerned w/safety & comfort of my pets, a pet owner
The Drinkwell is a superb pet product. My ferret loves it. It is a fountain that continuously runs a stream of water. Instead of my pet having to drink stale, stagnant water this product continually aerates the water. I think this increases the oxygen, which is good for my ferret. it holds about a gallon of water and I change the filters every two months. I use filtered water since I don't need my ferret to ingest bad chemicals. In addition, I think the ferret has fun. The first few days she ran around it continually. Maybe the noise is…

This item gave me relief. My cat used to always drink from the bathtub faucet. I would get nervous that he would perhaps get sick if I hadn't rinsed the tub off well enough after cleaning it. He loves the fountain. It's quiet running and holds several days worth of water. Cleaning the fountain is a little annoying, as it is hard to reach into certain areas, but overall, well worth the…

a cat lover, concerned about my cats' health, in need of relaxation
The Verdict: My cats love this water fountain. They drink more water now that we have it and seem to enjoy drinking from the stream. I like the sound of the trickling water. — Just the Facts: We go to a cats only vet and during an open house at their office last summer I won a Drinkwell Pet Fountain in a raffle they had. I entered the raffle hoping to win this prize (there were other prizes but I wanted the fountain) and was very pleased when they called to tell me I had won. — The Drinkwell is sort of like a combination well and waterfall for small…

The drinwell pet fountain is a convenient way to keep fresh water available for your pets. — — Comes with either a 50 oz or 75 oz resovoir and 3 charcoal filters. — — I use the large reservoir since i have multiple cats and only have to refill it every 7-10 days. — — That cats love the constant spout of water and it encourages them to drink. — — I have to rinse/wash it out 1-2 times a month which isn't bad, but it is difficult to clean out. You'll need special small brushes to scrub out all the inside areas. Also, I wish the…

an animal rescurer, a cat fancier
I have three of these in my house. (I have 7 cats). I tried the other brand of fountain and found it unacceptable because the reservoir is small and impossible to clean. The Drinkwell is easy to disassemble and clean and the reservoir is MUCH larger. I have the additional capacity reservoir so that it doesn't run out of water every day (7 cats, remember?!). When disassembling it, the only problem I've ever had is forgetting to replace the impeller when I put it back together. Helpful hint: It won't run without the impeller! The first…

I bought this fountain several years ago. While cleanup is almost painful, both my cats loved it from the start. — I disagree about the length of time the info sheet claims the water lasts - that really depends upon the cats and if you purchase the extra reservoir. However, the bonus is that because the fountain filters the water it's not necessary to clean out the bowl and provide fresh water daily. The fountain does that for you! — — Recently I purchased the Drinkwell Platinum - almost twice the price, but it comes with a *massive* reservoir and is *very* easy to clean. I…

a pet owner
I purchased the Drinkwell Pet fountain 5 years ago for my daughters two cats nad my one cat. They aall lived at my house and the one cat of my daughter liked to paw at the water in the water dish till he had it all over the floor. When i purchased the drinkwell fountain he stoped doing that. They liket he running water and moving water does not get stagnat like standing water does. The only thing about the drinkwell fountain that is bad is that the filter will clog up with cat hair from time to time. Other that that it has been a favorit with the…

We had a cat that just loved the faucet. This got to be a problem once we moved and did not have a constantly leaking faucet. We decided to keep her entertained and happy with this faountain. She loved it. — — We all love it!! — — The main downside is having to clean/refill it. I wish it had a bigger tank and that the filter did not get clogged so easily. — — I have long haired cats and it gets a bit annoying to clean constantly. But it keeps them all happy! — —…

a pet owner, an animal lover, loving this product, not fond of cleaning
My cat has always loved fresh, running water, but I never knew if he would like an electronic waterer. I had gotten him one of those waterers that held a reservoir and would constantly refill the bowl (there was no recirculation involved), and he didn't like the noise that it made when bubbles would rise inside the bottle as water filled up the bowl. Still, after reading some glowing reviews, I decided to take the chance that he might get used to it. Let me just say, there was no adjustment period at all. He loved it from the moment I set it up, and he still loves…

selective about pet food, a cat owner, a lover of all living things, Concerned with my dog's wellbeing, very attached to my dog, a woman, a person who enjoys quality, practical
I absolutely love this product as much as my cat. At first she was a little hesitant about the fountain, but I kept showing her that's where her water is now and she finally learned. — She was one who like to drink out of the tub, mostly for the attention. We have a big water dish for our dog. It is the one that is free flowing once you fill the huge jug. She would only drink from there when no one look. Also, I have found that she drinks from the fountain a lot more since I moved it away from her food area. It used to be next to her food, and she didn't drink as much from it. She…

My oldest cat, Grrr, loves drinking from the toilet. Needless to say, this is not the most healthy way of staying hydrated. I actually tried another brand of fountain and found it to not be very user friendly. So I returned it and purchased the Drinkwell Pet Fountain. I have had it for almost 3 yrs and have had no problems. I have the extra well, in back, as I have 5 cats and they are big drinkers. It saves me the time of having to dump the water dish every time I fill it, due to so much cat hair and food particles in the bottom. The company sells a…
