 Best pet fountain brand on the market (way better than Petmate) 2010-07-29 |
| By K. McCain (San Francisco, CA United States) |
I bought the Original Drinkwell fountain about 9 or 10 years ago in hopes my cat would drink more water. Actually, I bought the PetMate drinking fountain first because it was cheaper than the Drinkwell and I figured they were basically the same. NO, they are not! As another reviewer mentioned, the water stream in the PetMate just runs down the front of the unit and does not provide an actual *fountain* so it's essentially a really expensive water bowl that happens to have water sliding into it. My cat didn't drink any more water than he usually did so I donated the PetMate to my mom and purchased the Drinkwell Original.
It was hands down the best pet purchase ever. I noticed immediately that my cat loved the fountain and started drinking a lot more water. The first fountain lasted about 2 years and would have lasted longer had I realized you could take it apart (yeah, I know, I should have read the instructions in better detail). It just stopped working one day and I figured the motor died so I tossed it and immediately bought another one. This time I read the instructions in better detail and realized all I should have done before was take the thing apart and clean it fully (rather than clean the unit as a whole). It would have lasted me years longer. The second unit lasted 6+ years and died today. I made sure and cleaned it thoroughly just in case. I'm ordering the Platinum version this time (just to try it out) but wanted to give a review for the Original since it's done such a great job all these years.
PROS:
* My cat and dog love drinking water from this fountain, so much so that if they stay with anyone else it's hard to get them to drink from a stagnant water dish unless they are really, really thirsty. I've noticed that when other dogs come over to visit they drink substantially more water than they do in their own homes, forcing their owners to buy a fountain, too. :)
* It's quiet and easy to refill. I travel a lot so I ended up buying the additional reservoir since pet sitters would forget to refill the bowl, thus aiding in the burning out of the motor when the water level got too low.
* It's easy to take apart and put back together to clean
CONS:
* It's not the most fun to clean, however. As another reviewer mentioned, there are some weird nooks and crannies that don't seem to be necessary for the product to work but make it hard to clean when you get cat hair and slimy goo inside the unit. It only takes about 10 minutes to clean but you DO NEED either the cleaning kit or a bottle brush. I bought a fish tank brush since my local pet store didn't carry the cleaning kit and it works fine, although I could use a smaller, thinner brush for the harder-to-reach areas.
That's the only 'con' I can think of. It's really a fantastic product for both dogs and cats. I highly, highly recommend it. |

| The water fountain is wonderful - just a little noisy - I have to keep it outside on the porch, but other than that it is great. |
| Good Buy 2010-07-26 |

| I found the fountain to be very quiet running and easy to clean and assemble. My two cats have taken to using it very well. |
 it's too small for three cats. 2010-07-19 |

| the fountain itself is fine. good quality. it's a replacement for a larger model that sprang a leak after 2 years of continued service. alas, the only model fitting in my budget for misc. items was this one. |
| If you have a cat, BUY ONE! 2010-07-19 |
| By J. Ross |
| This little fountain is absolutely wonderful and the cats love it -- all four of them. First, they love the circulating water as it keeps it fresh. Second, they drink MUCH more water from the little waterfall and that's good for their urinary tracts. Third, they like to sit and just watch the waterfall, just like people do out in nature. It's been a real hit with them. Couldn't be more pleased with the purchase. (Hint, if you get one, skip buying the brush and cleaning set; just buy pipe cleaners and wash it in soap and water, wipe it with vinegar, rinse it out and you're good to go again. Also get one of the larger water containers that can be purchased separately on Amazon, as this will keep you from having to refill it every day.) |
