Why Do Pets Need A Water Fountain?
Just like us humans, it’s important for our pets to be well hydrated. Regular water bowls can be so boring, and trap unwanted particles in your pets drinking supply. A pet water fountain offers numerous benefits for our furry friends and provides us with the peace of mind that our buddies have access to clean water at any time.
So why exactly do we need to give our pets a water fountain?
- Provides Clean Running Water
Many water fountains, such as the Veken Pet Fountain, include a filter to remove impurities from the water to always provide freshwater. The filters are long-lasting and replaceable, meaning you can always rely on your pets to have access to clean water.
- Hassle-free
Rather than constantly refilling a stagnant water bowl multiple times a day, water fountains have a reservoir underneath the main bowl. All you need to do is make sure the reservoir in the fountain has enough water from time to time, saving you time and stress.
- Useful for Multiple Pet Homes
While having more than one pet adds all the more happiness to our homes, it can also cause more delays in our day with their preferences and needs. We all know that dog slobber can gross out a cat (let alone anyone for that matter) from drinking from the same fountain. This means multiple water bowls around the house, resulting in multiple trips for checking, cleaning and refilling each bowl. A water fountain gives a more pleasant - and clean - experience for everyone!
- Prevents Whisker Stress
A common irritation for cats comes from their extremely sensitive whiskers. If the water bowl is too deep, it can irritate the cat’s whiskers and prevent them from properly hydrating themselves. Most water fountains have a shallow bowl so your kitty will have a comfortable drink.
- Encourages Hydration
Water fountains create a constant flow of water which appeals to pets and encourages them to drink more. This flow of water attracts our animal’s attention and ensures that they stay hydrated, preventing common kidney problems and urinary infections found in cats and dogs.
