If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’d know that I love my pet water fountains. They take another thing off the to-do list and I can rest assured that my pets have healthy, free flowing water when they need it.
Today, I’ll be reviewing the Drinkwell 360 in a more in-depth review (since it’s such a popular one and many people have asked me about it). If you already know about this particular fountain and would rather read my full guide, then check out this post on the best available cat water fountains or stainless steel ones. If you’re still intrigued by what the Drinkwell has to offer, carry on consuming the review below!
The Drinkwell Brand
Did you know that wild animals think moving water is much cleaner and fresher than still water? This is because the movement of the water prevents bacteria from growing in it.
This is the logic that led to the creation of the Drinkwell brand of pet drinking fountains. Designed with an activated carbon filter for tasteless and odorless water, their pet fountains help pets get the hydration that they need.
In 2009, the PetSafe brand acquired Drinkwell Pet Fountains. They joined a group of companies dedicated to providing the best products for pets.
While we humans are made up of about 60% water, our pets are 80% water. That’s why it’s important to keep them hydrated and get them the proper amount of water every day. The stainless steel fountain can hold enough water to keep your pets hydrated. And with the constantly moving water going through an activated-carbon filter, your pets will get to enjoy fresh clean water.
Features
Whether you have one pet in the home or more than a handful, the Drinkwell 360 Pet Fountain may just be what you need. With a 128oz. capacity, this pet drinking fountain can hold enough water for your pets, no matter what size they are.
It also encourages your pets to drink more with its changeable free-falling streams. You can choose between 1 to 5 streams depending on how many pets you have. The 360 design works for multiple pet households. You can also adjust the flow of the water to what would best suit your pets.
This pet fountain is made of stainless steel so you can trust that it’s hygienic for your pets. It is also dishwasher safe (except for the pump), so you can pop it into the dishwasher to clean it.
If you’re worried about the sound of steadily flowing water, then worry not. This fountain’s pump is designed to be submersible to reduce the sound of the water for quiet operation.
Your pets are also guaranteed to have clean water. Because aside from the oxygen added by the constant movement of water, a filter also catches any debris that could get mixed into the water.
