I have two water fountains made by Pet Mate. I have a small and large one.
My 3 cats drink out of the small one while 7 of the dogs drink out of the large one. I have to fill the water up for the cats every other day and the dogs since it is a large, I fill it up every 3 days.
I love them and wouldn't be without them ever again. I give them a thorough cleaning twice a week.
If you give them a choice between a bowl filled with water or the fountain, mine always prefer to drink out of the fountain.
The water is so quiet that you don't even hear it so they adjust to it quickly. It keeps the water cold, fresh and clean. And you can tell that it cleans the water because you can tell when it time to replace the filter.
As for the cord I tuck it behind the fountain and honestly it has never been a problem, even with Buster who loves to get into everything and loves chewing on things. |
