Cat Water Fountains
Cat water fountains to keep your cat hydrated and healthy
Cats can be fussy about how they drink water. Many prefer moving water over a still bowl. That’s where cat water fountains come in. These clever devices mimic running water, encouraging even the most stubborn drinkers to stay hydrated.
If your cat is on a dry food diet or doesn’t drink much water on their own, a cat drinking fountain can help support kidney health, digestion and overall wellbeing. With brands like Catit, Drinkwell, and Tech4Pets, you’ll find reliable, easy-to-clean options to suit every home and cat personality.
At Petstock, we stock a range of filters, accessories and everything you need to set up the perfect hydration station for your cat.
How often should I change the water in a cat fountain?
It’s best to change the water daily to keep it fresh and appealing. Even with a filter, debris like fur, food and dust can build up quickly. Fresh water encourages cats to drink more and stay healthy.
Are cat water fountains better than bowls?
Yes, they can be. Fountains mimic running water, which many cats naturally prefer. They also keep water cleaner for longer and support hydration, kidney health and urinary function, especially for cats on dry food.
How do I clean a cat water fountain?
Unplug the unit, take it apart and wash each piece with warm, soapy water. Use a soft brush for the pump and tight spaces. For a deeper clean, use a vinegar and water mix. Most fountains need cleaning weekly.
Do cat fountains use a lot of electricity?
No. Most cat fountains are low voltage and energy efficient. They use minimal power and are safe to leave running continuously without adding much to your energy bill.
How do I get my cat to use a water fountain?
Place the fountain near their regular water bowl and let them explore it. Keep it running so they get used to the sound. Encourage them by showing them the flowing water or placing a treat nearby.
