Cat & Dog Water Fountains

Keep fresh water readily available for your pets with our range of cat and dog water fountains. Automatic pet fountains continuously circulate water, providing an appealing alternative to a conventional water bowl for cats and dogs that prefer moving water.

Choose from PetSafe Drinkwell and Cat Mate pet water fountains in different sizes, capacities and materials, with models suitable for individual pets and multi-pet households.

Why Choose a Pet Water Fountain?

Some cats and dogs naturally prefer drinking from moving water. A pet water fountain keeps water circulating throughout the day and, depending on the model, passes it through replaceable filtration before returning it to the drinking area.

A fountain can be particularly useful for cats that show more interest in running taps than conventional water bowls, as well as households where several pets share the same drinking area.

Cat Water Fountains

Cat water fountains are available in many different designs, from compact fountains for a single cat to larger models suitable for several pets.

Depending on the fountain, your cat may be able to drink from a free-falling stream, a gently circulating bowl or an elevated drinking area.

When choosing a fountain for your cat, consider:

• Water capacity
• Fountain size
• Drinking height
• Water flow design
• Filter type
• Ease of cleaning
• Availability of replacement filters and parts

Dog Water Fountains

Pet fountains aren't just for cats. A dog water fountain can provide a convenient source of circulating water for small, medium and larger dogs.

For bigger dogs, choose a fountain with sufficient capacity so you're not constantly refilling the reservoir. Larger-capacity models can also be useful when several dogs or a mixture of cats and dogs share the same fountain.

Filtered Pet Water Fountains

Many automatic pet fountains incorporate replaceable filters to help keep the circulating water fresh and appealing.

Depending on the model, filtration can include:

• Charcoal or carbon filters to help reduce unpleasant tastes and odours
• Foam pre-filters to help catch hair and larger debris
• Multi-stage filtration systems

Filters aren't universal, so always check which replacement filter is required for your particular fountain.

Drinkwell Pet Water Fountains

PetSafe Drinkwell water fountains are available in a wide selection of sizes and designs for cats and dogs.

The Drinkwell range includes plastic, ceramic and stainless steel fountains, together with larger-capacity and multi-pet designs. Different models provide a choice of free-falling streams, circulating drinking areas and 360-degree access.

Cat Mate Water Fountains

Cat Mate pet fountains provide another practical option for supplying continuously circulating water to cats and small pets.

Different designs and capacities are available, so check the individual fountain specifications to find the most appropriate model for your pet.

Plastic, Ceramic or Stainless Steel Pet Fountain?

Plastic Pet Fountains

Plastic fountains are lightweight, practical and available in a wide variety of sizes and designs. They're a popular everyday choice for both cats and dogs.

Ceramic Pet Fountains

Ceramic fountains provide a heavier and more substantial design. Their appearance also makes them a popular choice when the fountain will be positioned in a kitchen or living area.

Stainless Steel Pet Fountains

Stainless steel fountains provide a durable, modern drinking surface and are available in designs suitable for individual pets and multi-pet households.

Water Fountains for Multiple Cats & Dogs

If several pets will be sharing the same fountain, look for a model with a larger water capacity and plenty of drinking space.

360-degree pet fountains can be particularly useful because cats and dogs can approach the drinking area from different directions rather than competing for access from one side.

Are Pet Water Fountains Easy to Clean?

Regular cleaning is important for any pet fountain. Hair, food particles and other debris can accumulate in the drinking area, filters and pump.

Many fountains can be dismantled for easier cleaning, and selected non-electrical components may be dishwasher safe.

Always follow the cleaning instructions supplied with your particular fountain. Pumps, cables and electrical components should only be cleaned as directed by the manufacturer.

Replacement Filters, Pumps & Spare Parts

We also stock replacement filters and spare parts for pet water fountains, helping you maintain your fountain rather than replacing the complete unit when a serviceable component needs attention.

Depending on the fountain, replacement items can include:

• Charcoal and carbon filters
• Foam pre-filters
• Replacement pumps
• Pump cleaning kits
• Replacement fountain components
• Maintenance accessories

Choosing the Best Water Fountain for Your Pet

There's no single fountain that's right for every cat or dog. Think about the number and size of pets using it, where it will be positioned and how frequently you're happy to refill it.

A small fountain may be ideal for one cat, while a larger-capacity model can be more convenient for a big dog or multi-pet household.

Also consider the ongoing availability and cost of replacement filters when comparing different models.
