Also - I forgot to mention that I DO keep the little "waterfalls" level turned on the LOWEST setting. It's quieter this way and I am afraid that if I had it turned all the way up, it might scare them. This way, it doesn't :D |

I am glad Stedman and Tate like their new fountain!! I have two Pet Mate drinking fountains. One is a small and the cats drink out of that one. The other is a large and all the dogs drink out of that one. They all really love the fountain and prefer them over just a bowl of water. With the fountains I have it says to change them every 30-60 days but I change mine every two weeks to make sure they stay nice and clean. I will take the whole thing apart, including the pump, and really clean it thoroughly about twice a week and just wash it out about every other day. The water really does stay clean, cold and fresh!! The small one I have to fill up everyday but with the large one I fill it up every other day because it has a big resovoir. Anyways I really love them as do the dogs and kitties and I wouldn't ever be without one again!!:thumbup: |

right where the filter is, it gets very yucky and there is no way to clean that good , so no it didn't work for me........I want my babies to drink a good clean water like we do and I wouldn't drink from it after seen how it holds dirt/moldy in the inside. :( |
Cleaning Tips I recommend running the hard plastic parts through the dishwasher once a week, it really gets rid of all the nasties in the hard to reach places. Word of warning, do not put the extra water reservoir in the dishwasher, it will come out half melted. Experience talking here! The reservoir lid goes through the dishwasher just fine. |
WE have one 1 Attachment(s) and we LOVE IT!!! when i had just Cricket i used a tiny stainless bowl,, which was good enough but then with Daisy, ,it was too much filling and mess,, I ordered the Drinkwell fountain and filters,, Cricket (espeically) loves drinking running water,, the others do too,, I think they all drink more water using it,, the filters are not that expensive,, and the clean up is not a biggie for me,, even with 4 dogs drinking from it,, i clean it generally once a week,, i add to whenever needed,, but take it up and apart and just wash it all about once a week in the kitchen sink, its never a mess,,we love ours!! heres a pic of Daisy and baby Trixie at their fountainAttachment 225304 |
We have a larger version of a fountail type thingy outside for our lab. It's round with a "spout" that comes up out of the middle with water. She LOVES it and we have caught her trying to "swim" in it a couple of times!! She loves water though, and its more like she scratches the water out and plays in it more than drinking it. It is very cute though and we get a kick out of watching her!! I never thought of getting Izzy one, but she would probably like it to. She does the same thing where she will drink while filling up her bowl. Hummm..... we will have to look into that!! |
And..... my girls ALL Love it when I put ice cubes in their water bowls! they fish it out,, and CHOMP like its a Wonderful Treat!!:) |
