Drinkwell, The Original Pet Water Fountain
The original Drinkwell pet fountain got its start when veterinarian Dr. Mary Burns became frustrated with her cat that would only drink from a dripping faucet. Even though Dr. Burns was tired of running the faucet for her cat every single day she knew the importance of properly hydrating your animals so she couldn’t just stop giving him the water. Feline Urinary Syndrome (FUS) can be fatal and caused by lack of hydration which a lot of people are unaware of.
Since the very first prototype back in the mid 90s the Drinkwell pet fountain has definitely progressed. These pet fountains have been such a huge hit with pet owners worldwide that the fountain has been able to change and grow with the needs of the growing technology. Plus, once the prototype was launched Dr. Burns was realizing how many other car owners had the same experience and needing a constant flow of fresh, clean water for their pets.
Which Drinkwell pet fountain fountain should you get?
Even though the majority of the Drinkwell pet fountains are the same prices there are different models for you to choose from. If you have a larger breed of dogs in your home you also can get a pet fountain that is large enough to supply the water needed to keep them hydrated. The Platinum pet water fountain is one of the most popular as it has a very innovative free falling water system that is 5 inches tall. It can hold over 160 ounces of water and keeps your pets out of the sinks and toilets! However, this pet fountain is only available to residents within the United States.
All about the original Drinkwell
The original Drinkwell pet fountain is a little cheaper than the Platinum but has quite a few of the same features. This model still has the charcoal filter, free falling 5 inch water system but this model only holds about 50 ounces of water. If you only have one cat then the original model would work just fine for you but for multiple cats or even dogs then the Platinum is going to be the best bet for you because it holds more water.
The new 360 pet fountain was released not too long ago either but this pet fountain does not hold water or have a reservoir like the other two models. There are five different spouts around the top that allow the water to flow out much like a water faucet, which is perfect for cats like Dr. Burns’. There are interchangeable sprouts too that prevent any sliding around and this is ideal for households with multiple cats.
There is no denying that the invention Dr. Burns brought to pet owners is something that pet owners simply need and with all of the healthy benefits they have, why wouldn’t you want to try it? Check out all of the different models offered by Drinkwell and then you will be able to decide which model is perfect for you and your pets.
