| Water Fountains? Have u found one you love???? Any one have one they like? I am trying out the Drinkwell Platinum for the boys but it seems so big. They love it so far. Worried about it being plastic though.

| I have the stainless steal Drinkwell 360 and I find it is the easiest to clean out of all the ones I have had. Callie enjoyed the Drinkwell platinum but I HATED cleaning it because it has so many pieces and I had to use a toothbrush to clean some of it.

| I too have the stainless steel 360 drinkwell fountain. I love it and so do the dogs. I love watching them drink from it. Some will drink from the bowl while others prefer to drink from the stream. It is very easy to clean, put together and take apart, you can do it all in just a few minutes. It does have a few plastic pieces but the majority of it is stainless steel. It is big though if that is something you are looking at. I have several dogs though so it fits us just great. I also have 2 petmate fountains. I liked them alright but they are such a pain to clean and they are plastic so no matter how much you clean them you still feel like it isn't clean. The dogs also preferred drinking out of the stainless steel one so I gave the plastic one to my cat. The stainless steel 360 drinkwell is a bit more pricey but well worth it in my opinion.

| I was thinking of getting a fountain for Zhoie, in hopes of getting her to drink more water. She's my only dog, is the Drinkwell 360 to large for a singleton? Wonder if they come smaller for just one dog? hmmm

| I have a Pioneer Fountain Big Max- Stainless Steel Amazon.com: Pioneer Fountain Big Max- Stainless... Much easier to clean than the plastic Drinkwell we used to have. The dogs love it, too. |

| We have two yorkies and a Jack Russell mix that share the fountain. Despite the name, it's not huge, and I still have to add more water to it most every day. I empty it and clean it about once a week, and it doesn't get a build up of minerals and dirt that the plastic Drinkwell fountain did. |

| I had the Drinkwell for our cats for years, but the plastic is just awful. It gets slimy so quick and there are so many small parts I never felt like it was totally clean. Now we use the Pioneer Raindrop Amazon.com: Pioneer Pet Stainless Steel Fountain... . It does have a few plastic parts, but I overall I think it's a much better product and very easy to clean.

| I started adding crushed ice to her bowl and then adding water. She started drinking more water then. In fact, when she hears me filling her bowl with ice, she comes running now to get a drink. She seems to drink longer, too.

| I recently changed my boys' drinking bowls from stainless steel to glass and they seem to like their water more than ever.
