I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | ![]() Does anyone own the Drinkwell Pet Fountain? I have decided that I would like to get one for my babies as today Tatum did THE CUTEST THING....omg lol! I was cracking up with the biggest smile on my face! She is so silly and such a character I swear...LOL. I bought a bigger water bowl for the babies because the cat drinks out of it as well and I was constantly having to fill the smaller one up. So anyway, when I go to fill this bigger one up, I will just get cold water in a tea pitcher and use that to fill the bowl. Well, as I was doing that this morning, Tator walked up just stuck her little nose and mouth right in the flowing "waterfall" going in to the dog bowl, LOL!!! It was soooooo cute (ok I know I sound nuts - but you really did have to be here ![]() ![]() So anyway, right then and there the Drinkwell Pet Fountain popped into mind and I decided that she HAD to have one, lol. Yes, she is spoiled and if I KNOW she likes something, she gets it ![]() I would love reviews on them though because I honestly know nothing about them really. Are there different types? Different sizes? How exactly do they work? All I know is that there is a constant flow of water (like a little waterfall) which I know Tatum will absolutely love....and hopefully this will get her to drink more water as to me it seems right now she doesn't drink quite enough. Also, where is the cheapest place to get one of these? I don't think anyone carries them here. I am going to look on eBay as well and see if I can find one at a good price on there. Thanks for any and all help (Tatum appreciates it!!) ![]()

| ![]() I don't have one but my mum has something called a Catit... it's for cat's but it holds plently enough water for Ellie the yorkie, Emma the Border Collie and Bonnie the crossbred. The love it, it flows constantly over a dome and there is also a reserve. It's just like this one except without the food bowl on it. ![]() They all love it

| ![]() there was this review High maintainance product Date: May 8, 2008 "My cats liked the product. I however, hated it! I had to completely disassemble and scrub it down weekly and you have to buy the kit with all the scrub brushes in it or you can't get into all the nooks and crannies. If you let it go for more than a week, it starts growing black mold in every corner. THEN, the filter molds at warp speed and you continually are buying new filters. I found it a whole lot easier to just turn on the kitchen faucet when Toby wants a "sink drink" than continually mess w/ this fountain!" but that was like the only bad review someone else said they just got a qtip and cleaned the crevices

Donating YT 500 Club Member | ![]() I got one Brooke, for our cat, because he was drinking out of the kitchen faucet.......thinking that he would love his own fountain - HA - was I ever wrong! He never drank out of it and Ruby, Reno nor the other cat would drink out of it either. It was a complete wash-out here. Also, it was a hassle to keep clean and refill everyday, although I wouldn't have minded if one of them used it ever. You might have a better experience though it sounds like since Tatum enjoyed her drink ![]()

Actually though...I saw these reviews a little too late...whoops! ![]() I went and bought one of them today, LOL. I DID find one at Petsmart and just bought the darn thing...thinking well, if the babies didn't drink out of it, I can always bring it back. I was VERY afraid that they were going to be scared to death of the thing (especially Stedman) as NONE (Tate, Sted OR the cat) would drink out of a water bottle....they were TERRIFIED of it! ![]() HOWEVER........to my surprise, my babies (cat included!) absolutely LOVE this fountain!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Oh well, whatever works! And if it gets them to drink more water (which they need) then I am happy ![]() ![]() ![]()

| ![]() I am so glad Stedman and Tatum and the cat love the fountain! I just now saw this thread, and I have had one for years for my cat as recommended by my vet. Silki really likes the fountain too! Like people said already, just clean it out regularly. One tip--when you clean it out, be sure to open up the filter and rinse the gunk out....there are a couple of parts to it and I have to use tweezers to pull out the rod and cap to be able to get it all clean. Just check your instructions, somebody helped me with this when I was having problems with the filter. Good luck with it!!
