🐶🐱Keeping your pet hydrated is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Having a constant supply of freshwater is vital, but using a water fountain is a healthier, safer, and more practical option than a traditional water bowl!
❕Here are five reasons why you should get a water fountain:
💧1. Temperature
A fountain will keep your pet's water 1-2 degrees cooler than a typical water bowl. The water will be slightly cooler than room temperature. Two degrees may not seem like a lot, but that temperature difference is refreshing enough to encourage your cat to drink more.
💧2. Filtration
Most water fountains will have a small carbon filter located in the motor. It can remove impurities from our tap water. Carbon keeps the water cleaner and can improve the taste and smell, again encouraging your pet to drink more.
Filters will also catch debris, like dirt and hair from building up in the water. Take a look at your pet‘s stagnant water bowl at the end of the day. It's probably full of gunk, right? With a fountain, your pet‘s water will stay much cleaner.
💧3. Hydration
Most pets don't drink enough water, especially those that are fed a primarily dry diet, like kibble. If your pet isn't getting regular moisture in their diet, like from a raw or canned diet, then they must drink plenty of water throughout the day to compensate.
💧4. Volume
This one is both a benefit to you and your pet. Most water fountains can hold 2-3 litres of water or more. This capacity can reduce the need to refill the dish as often and make sure that your pet always has access to fresh, clean water.
💧5. Circulation
Standing water is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. Circulation can prevent bacteria and fungus build-up, so keep your pet's water moving to keep it clean and safe.
