Best Pet Water Fountains

At 168 oz, the PetSafe Drinkwell Platinum Pet Fountain holds enough for several pets, and its automatic refill reservoir snaps onto the back to top the bowl up. Reviewers noted the adjustable free-falling water stream entices pets to drink more, and a built-in carbon filter keeps the water fresh. Most parts go on the dishwasher's top rack; the pump has to be hand washed. It needs to be plugged in, and that separate pump cleaning is an extra chore. Owners who want a reliable automatic fountain with good capacity and filtration are the fit.

The PetSafe Seaside Stainless Pet Fountain is small, nearly silent, and built for cats and small dogs. Reviewers noted the 360-degree access lets shy pets drink without feeling cornered, and the dual-filtration system keeps the water fresh. Stainless steel makes it durable and safe, and the modern look blends into home décor. PetSmart's review stressed how well it encourages hydration. The 60 oz capacity runs dry fast with larger pets. Households with small pets that need coaxing to drink are the fit.

The Cobectal stainless steel cat water fountain is built from durable 304 stainless, runs under 30dB, and pushes water through triple filtration that strips out impurities and odors. Its 2.2L capacity covers an adult cat's drinking needs for 5 to 7 days. A water-level buoy makes the level easy to keep an eye on. A 2-year warranty comes with it. The pump's external foam filter needs cleaning often, and only the bowl and lid are dishwasher safe.
