While having someone turn a faucet on for you anytime you like might be a nice commodity, it's not always feasible. Cat parents do got to go to work and the pet store to pick up supplies every now and then, after all.
This is where a pet fountain can come in handy. Pet fountains can help encourage cats to drink more water and provide a fresh, filtered source of hydration. However, what if your cat is scared of the pet fountain? Some cats and dogs who are used to drinking from a bowl may not like the idea of drinking from a source of free-falling water.
For the past several weeks, we've been using a PetSafe Current Pet Fountain. Callie, my cat, has never used a pet fountain before and this fountain is the perfect place to start for her. Plus, it's nice and quiet which I appreciate.
Callie likes to drink lots of water. She used to have a very small bowl that I had to refill frequently. Plus, she also liked to tip it over a lot. The new PetSafe Current Pet Fountain holds more than enough water for her. We have the smallest size - a 40 oz. These are also available in Medium and Large, which would be great for dogs.
The PetSafe Current Pet Fountain comes in a stylish Orchid color, which I personally am a fan of. The fountain uses an activated carbon filter that removes bad tastes and odors from tap water. Definitely a plus for us. Our tap water is from a well, and has a strong sulfur odor that is reminiscent of eggs or farts... Don't worry, the water is fine - it's just fragrant, if you will.
The pump in the PetSafe Current Pet Fountain constantly circulates water through the bowl and filter, making it more appealing to pets and encouraging them to get their daily fill of water. Staying hydrated is important for cats. It keeps their kidneys and urinary tract healthy, and can encourage a quicker recovery when they are ill.
The PetSafe Current Pet Fountain is BPA-free, comes apart easily, and is dishwasher safe. It's affordable and prices range from $19.99 - $39.99 depending on the size. You can purchase one here.
Callie has no problems drinking from her PetSafe Current Pet Fountain. I was worried she wasn't at first, because I hadn't seen her using it. Then, I noticed the level in the bowl had gone down. It's on a counter top, so I know no one else has been drinking from it but her. I have seen her use it several times now and she seems to like it just fine.
This fountain is a hit for us, and I can't think of anything I dislike about it. It works great, the cat loves it, and she's getting clean filtered water in her system everyday.

We received a free PetSafe Current Pet Fountain for the purposes of this review. All opinions expressed here are our own.
All us cats here got used to drinking from a fountain right away! We love ours.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea and I'm a fan of fountains... sadly Easy refused to use one, I thought it could be good for him too :o)
ReplyDeleteMaybe Easy would like one like this. Shiner seemed hesitant with our old one, but she eventually would drink from it. But, I couldn't keep my little human from playing it!
DeleteI'd pick the large size since I have three cats and four dogs.
ReplyDeleteI would choose either the medium or large since I have multiple dogs. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSamantha and Luke both drink from our fountain. I wasn't sure if Sam was using it or not...but you have to find her down there at night when she thinks we won't see her! LOL. She has always been pretty good about drinking water, but she would love to have it from the faucet more often too if she could! Fountains definitely seem like the next best thing.
ReplyDeleteI've discovered that Callie also likes drinking from the faucet occasionally. She will follow me in the bathroom and I turn on the bath tub water for her.
DeleteToo funny....I do the same thing for Sam! :)
DeleteOur kitty Sophie loves fountains and any moving water. She loves our fountain.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try a fountain! My cat is less than 7lb, so I think the small size would work best for her.
ReplyDeleteWe're pretty big fans of fountains here too!
ReplyDeleteI would want the largest one for my two dogs and four cats.
ReplyDeleteWe love that this fountain has a small size ! Good luck to our US friends ! Purrs

ReplyDeleteWe like fountains but haven't seen this one before.
i would have to say a large on, since i have 3 little girls and have 3 water bowls now, i think one big one would be good for them all.
ReplyDeleteThe bigger size would be perfect for our dogs and when our grand dogs and cats come over they always drink out of the same bowl.
ReplyDeleteI would choose the large size, for my multi-pet family.
ReplyDeleteI would choose the small.
ReplyDeleteA medium for my dog!
ReplyDeleteI would choose the large for my 80 pound Lab dog
ReplyDeleteA medium for my cats and dog.
ReplyDeleteMy dog is huge so I would need a large size.
ReplyDeleteI think the small would be best for my pet family too. We have two cats and a small dog who enjoys finding his water outside instead of a bowl. LOL.
ReplyDeletei think large i have a big dog
ReplyDeleteI would definitely choose the large fountain.
ReplyDeleteThe small size!
ReplyDeleteI would choose a medium!

ReplyDeleteProbably the small because it's just Mr. N.
ReplyDeleteMy little cat, Fern, likes to jump in the shower after I get out and lick the drips off of the drain. Hopefully he would like this better! I have three kitties, so i think we would choose a medium
ReplyDeleteI would get a large for my dog and a medium one for my cat. We keep their food/water separate.
ReplyDeleteThe large size
ReplyDeleteI'd get a size large for my multiple pets.
ReplyDeleteProbably a medium, maybe even a small.
ReplyDeleteI'd think that medium would be best for my two kitters.
ReplyDeleteI would choose the large. We rescue cats and at this time have 10 of them
ReplyDeleteI have two large mixed breed dogs, so I would need the large size fountain.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved the name Callie (my great grandmothers name) and it's purrfect for your cute calico kitty Ann. I would like the large or maybe even the medium. We have 5 cats and a small dog and they all share. I've been wanting a water fountain bowl for a long time. Thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteProbably the large since we have a couple of dogs and a cat
ReplyDeleteI would want the large one, ty for the chance
ReplyDeleteI would say a medium sized one.
ReplyDeleteSize Small. I have 2 rescue cats I adopted that would love this. One of my cats prefers to drink from the running faucet so I think she would really love this. I think the small size would be fine since their current water dish is about the size of the one Callie is using.
ReplyDelete~Sandra U.
I have two adult cats so i think i would need the large one
ReplyDeleteI think medium or large for the four cats and one dog!
