Picking the Right Drinkwell Pet Fountain

Posted by in Pets Galore

Pet fountains have become popular in recent times because they give pets the ability to drink running water throughout the day.  Without the fountain, the only time running water is available for most pets is if their owner turns on a faucet or hose for them.  One of the leading brands in the pet fountain market is the Drinkwell pet fountain.

Drinkwell fountains come in four different models and picking the correct one isn’t always clear.  Each model meets a different need that a pet owner may have.  The basic model, called the original fountain, has a small water tank and suites owners of one or two cats or small dogs.  The tank on this model is only fifty ounces, which is quite small compared to the other models.

The platinum fountain is very similar to the original, but it boasts a much larger water tank.  The platinum model can hold 168 ounces of water, more than three times that of the original fountain.  It’s good for cats and small to medium sized dogs.  There is only one waterfall to drink from in this model so it’s good for owners who have a couple of pets at most.

For those people who have more than a couple of cats or cats, the Drinkwell 360 model is probably the best choice.  This model allows for more than one waterfall for your pets to drink from at a time.  It holds 128 ounces of water so it isn’t too large, but will accompany a number of animals at the same time.

For those big dog owners, the Drinkwell Big Dog fountain is the best choice.  With a 2.25 gallon tank, this fountain can handle multiple big dogs with ease.  It is a one waterfall fountain so your dogs have to take turns drinking the running water on this model.

You should be able to pick out the right model of fountain for your pets with the information above.  Though there are only four choices, you shouldn’t have a problem finding one that fits your needs.
