A water Fountain for our Pets, is that really necessary? The truth is, a Cat or Dog water fountain may have been deemed as an indulgence a few years back, but studies and research have proven that a water fountain has more uses to it than just decorative or convenience purposes.

A water fountain is great especially for Cats, and can serve purposes for our Doggo pals as well. Mainly because most of our Pets have a common diet of dry kibble and the occasional feedings of canned food. Dry kibble contains a very low percentage of water as compared to canned food of course, and like us, our furry companions naturally need their intake of water! Without the appropriate amount of water in their systems, it could lead to serious health issues too.

You might have also noticed how Cats aren’t the most cooperative with water, simply because they’d usually garner their daily water intake from the food, or prey (in the wild). Basically, our feline companions have a low-thirst drive for H2O and they really do not fancy stale, non-moving water. 

This also explains why they love sitting beside sink tops; taking a swat at flowing water, or even dipping their paws into water bowls right before they lick them ☺ Moving water entices them, indeed.

While our canine buddies may not possess the issue of a low-thirst drive, water is equally essential as a form of daily hydration and cooling of their overall body temperatures. Haven’t you also noticed how much fur actually starts floating on the surface of the water in the bowls too? And while we are on that topic, water fountains greatly aid in a constant flow of fresh, clean water, thanks to the filters.

Note      As every Pet has their own preference, you might want to figure out which type of material they’d actually prefer, before purchasing a water fountain!

Yes most of these automated Pet water fountains come with a built in filter to help rid those stray fur, hair, or even food bits, keeping the water fresh and clean.
