PetSafe Drinkwell Ceramic Pagoda Fountain, Drinking Fountain

I had bought a plastic water fountain for my 6 cats to encourage them to drink more water. Especially as a couple of them prefer moving/ running water from a tap rather than a bowl. This was great until one of the little monsters became obsessed with hooking his claws underneath the part where the two pieces slot together and pulling it apart. As you can imagine having a daily indoor swimming pool is not ideal. So I decided to look to see if there was a heavier alternative and I came across this ceramic fountain.

This fountain is a lot larger than my previous plastic one, and having 2 water streams is actually better with the amount of cats I have. I chose the red one and it really is a nice colour. This fountain is very heavy without any water in which made me confident that my little water monster wouldn’t be able to tip this one over.

The fountain comes very well packaged and is very simple to assemble. After a quick wash I assembled it and filled it up. The two streams of water coming from each side of the tower do make quite a loud trickling sound constantly. Personally this does not bother me at all or make me need the toilet, but if you are someone that is affected by the sound of running water, then this might not be the fountain for you.

After a few failed attempts to try and tip this water fountain, my little water monster gave up and hasn’t bothered since thank goodness. This fountain has been the best thing I have invested in.

Now obviously it is a little pricier than some of the alternative plastic fountains you can buy, but honestly this is so much better for so many reasons. Unlike plastic ones this does not have loads of little nooks and crannies that are impossible to clean. The ceramic doesn’t stain like plastic does and is much easier to clean. It looks much more aesthetically pleasing in the home, and is more sturdy and robust compared to a plastic one. The water will stay fresher in this than a plastic fountain as ceramic doesn’t harbour as much bacteria. All in all this was the best purchase I have made. I don’t have an indoor swimming pool every day and my cats are drinking more water.

I would highly recommend this fountain to all cat owners.

Lovely fountain for the cats although they’re not quite used to it. The motor is silent but the water dropping down the sides is much louder than I had anticipated. I’m always catching myself thinking I’ve left the tap running. I wish it had different speed settings. I think my cats would prefer a slower trickle and I think I’d find it more relaxing.
