Water Fountains For Cats & Dogs
Pet Water Fountains for Cats & Dogs
Encourage your pet to drink with our range of pet water fountains for cats and dogs. A drinking fountain continuously circulates water, providing your pet with a convenient alternative to a traditional water bowl.
Our range includes PetSafe Drinkwell water fountains in a choice of sizes and materials, with models suitable for cats, dogs and multi-pet households. Choose from plastic, ceramic and stainless steel fountains together with genuine replacement filters and accessories.
Why Choose a Pet Water Fountain?
Some cats and dogs are naturally attracted to moving water. A pet drinking fountain keeps water circulating and, depending on the model, passes it through replaceable filtration before returning it to the drinking area.
Pet fountains can be particularly useful for cats that show little interest in a conventional bowl and for households with several pets sharing the same drinking area.
PetSafe Drinkwell Water Fountains
PetSafe Drinkwell offers a wide range of automatic drinking fountains for cats and dogs, from compact fountains for individual pets to larger-capacity models designed for bigger dogs and multi-pet households.
Different designs provide a choice of drinking areas, water capacities and fountain materials, allowing you to select the model that best suits your pet and your home.
Cat Water Fountains
A cat water fountain provides continuously circulating water throughout the day. Many designs incorporate a flowing or free-falling stream, while others provide gently moving water across an open drinking surface.
When choosing a fountain for your cat, consider the capacity, noise level, drinking height, filtration system and how easy the fountain is to dismantle and clean.
Dog Water Fountains
Dogs can also benefit from the convenience of a pet drinking fountain. Larger-capacity Drinkwell fountains provide more water between refills and can be particularly useful for larger dogs or households with several pets.
Check the capacity of each fountain before ordering to ensure it's suitable for the size and number of pets that will be using it.
Plastic Pet Water Fountains
Plastic pet fountains provide a practical and lightweight option that's easy to position around the home. Drinkwell plastic fountains are available in several sizes and designs, including models with free-falling streams and larger drinking reservoirs.
Ceramic Cat & Dog Water Fountains
Ceramic pet fountains offer a substantial, stylish alternative to plastic. Their weight helps them remain stable while in use, and the smooth ceramic surfaces can be straightforward to clean when maintained according to the manufacturer's instructions.
They're a popular choice for owners who want their pet fountain to complement a kitchen or living area.
Stainless Steel Pet Water Fountains
Stainless steel cat and dog fountains provide a durable and modern drinking solution. Stainless steel surfaces are easy to wipe clean and provide a smart appearance suitable for contemporary homes.
Some Drinkwell stainless steel designs also provide access from several sides, making them particularly useful when more than one pet shares the fountain.
360° Pet Water Fountains
A 360-degree pet fountain allows pets to approach the drinking area from different directions rather than requiring them to drink from one side.
This makes 360 fountains particularly useful in multi-cat and multi-pet households, where several animals may want access to the fountain throughout the day.
Filtered Pet Water Fountains
Many Drinkwell fountains use replaceable filtration to help keep the circulating water appealing to your pet.
Depending on the fountain, the filtration system may include:
- Replaceable charcoal filters
- Foam pre-filters
- Filters designed to help remove hair and debris
- Filtration designed to help reduce unpleasant tastes and odours
Always use the correct replacement filter for your particular fountain model, as filter shapes and sizes vary across the Drinkwell range.
Drinkwell Replacement Filters & Accessories
Regular maintenance helps keep your fountain operating correctly. We stock a range of Drinkwell replacement filters and fountain accessories for compatible models.
Depending on the fountain, replacement items can include:
- Charcoal filter cartridges
- Foam pre-filters
- Replacement pumps
- Cleaning accessories
- Replacement fountain components
If you're unsure which filter or replacement part fits your fountain, check the model name or number before ordering.
Are Pet Water Fountains Easy to Clean?
Regular cleaning is important because pet hair, food particles and other debris can collect in the fountain and around the pump.
Many fountains can be dismantled so the non-electrical components can be cleaned separately. Some components may also be dishwasher safe, depending on the particular model.
Always check the cleaning instructions for your individual fountain before putting any components in a dishwasher. Pumps, cables and other electrical components must be handled according to the manufacturer's instructions.
How to Choose a Cat or Dog Water Fountain
Before choosing a fountain, consider:
- Capacity – larger pets and multi-pet households may need a larger reservoir.
- Material – choose from plastic, ceramic or stainless steel.
- Drinking style – some pets prefer a free-falling stream while others prefer drinking from a bowl or open surface.
- Number of pets – 360-degree designs can provide easier access for multiple pets.
- Filters – check which replacement filters the fountain requires.
- Cleaning – consider how easily the fountain can be dismantled for regular maintenance.
- Location – place the fountain on a stable surface close to a suitable power supply where required.
