PetSafe Ceramic Pet Fountain – for Cats and Small Dogs – 60 Oz Water Capacity – Whisper-Quiet Water Flow – Great for Shy or Timid Pets – Fresh, Filtered Water

So I’ve used a fountain for my cat for a while, first the cat-it fountain and then a stainless steel one that held more water. The stainless steel one was getting incredibly slimy so quickly, I had to full on take it apart and wash it almost every other day. So after some digging I decided on this ceramic one, my favorite one yet. So, my favorite thing is that it’s an open bowl so that if the power goes out, my cat can still drink. I love that it doesn’t make any noise at all, either the motor or the running water. I can’t stand the sound of a water fountain running, or like that fish tank trinkle sound. My other 2 fountains did that if they got even like an inch lower than full. This one is quiet and amazing. Since the motor is in the bottom and pushes the water up through the big dome in the middle, it can get pretty low and still function, but I wouldn’t recommend relying on that cause you don’t wanna burn out the motor. I love the open bowl because it’s also easy to visually see when you need to refill it and you just pour it right in. This thing is so easy to clean, literally everything except the motor is dishwasher safe, and the cord has a thing where it detaches in the middle so that you can pull the motor out without having to weave the whole cord and plug through the hole. It’s physically so easy and simple to take apart, there aren’t like a hundred pieces of things that all collect slime. I usually clean mine once a week but I’ve left it for a lot longer just being lazy and topping it off, and the slime only developed after a few weeks. It does come with a filter that you can use, but it works without it too. You have to still use the filter housing to help give the water a way to get to the top of the dome, but I left the filter out because I use filtered water already, and I like to use a dental additive that I didn’t want to get filtered out immediately. To be a crazy cat lady just a little, I also love that the ceramic keeps the water pretty cold. I give my cat water out of the water pitcher we keep in the fridge and I’ve noticed he drinks more if it’s a little chilly. Last thing, and what really sealed the deal. The filter housing is pretty much the only plastic thing, and one day I didn’t put it in my dishwasher right (my fault) and it fell to the bottom and melted on the heating element that’s on there. Absolutely my own fault. But! The customer service for this fountain is amazing, I contacted them and they sent me a replacement piece for it, and the shipping was so fast. It didn’t even have to be that fast because without using the motor this is still a decent regular water bowl. But definitely a company worth investing in, and a really good quality and thought out product.

i only have a cheap plastic fountain to compare to - but i'll say if you debating whether to pull the trigger on this - ceramic is a HUGE upgrade. We already have (apparently) a baseball worth of plastic in us, my cats pretty 'big boned' but she doesn't have room for a baseball! EDIT::::: THE FILTERS ARE THE HALF CIRCLE ONES - Still not hard to find but wanted to mention this ::::::; also, comparatively, it's a way easier clean than the other plastic ones i've cleaned, less nooks & crannies. and also something i learned upon my last ones pump dying - those come apart more than you'd think and your actually supposed to clean those as well. go figure. i've not replaced filter yet but i think these little square filters are pretty common, it's not some proprietary B.S, or anything. Lastly, it is EXTREMELY QUIET on low setting. plus now your cat can now flex on other cats, this is premium water fountain territory. metal is gaudy & plastic it's hard to trust the 'quality' of the plastic because water IS constantly flowing over top of it - you know - like a river with rocks an what not. anyways, i wouldn't steer you wrong. trust the random guy writing way to long of reviews. just don't step on it or whatever ???

Quiet, easy to assemble & clean, weighty so it is stable and doesn't tip over or move around, cat seems to like it. Way better than plastic for the animals, and it looks better in the house than the stainless or plastic types.

I bought the PetSafe Ceramic Pet Fountain for my three cats, two of whom are teenagers. As my boys get older I worry about their water intake. They love it and they're better hydrated than ever. The filters also do their jobs and the motor has run for a long time. You do need to pay attention to directions during assembly because there is only one way it goes together, and you'll have to remember that every time you change the filter. The ceramic looks great and seems like it will last forever assuming I don't drop it, and the little motor to run the fountain hasn't missed a step, and it runs quietly enough that it doesn't scare any of the cats off (unless the water level gets low). And with the moving water and the ceramic, it doesn't attract any unwanted living slimy things, which is nice.

I honestly love this fountain. It’s essentially silent (even when I sleep with it only a few feet away) and it has a large capacity so I can comfortably leave my two cats at home during my long days at work knowing they’ll have plenty of water. My cats enjoy drinking from it so much that they actually refuse to drink still water anymore, which means I have more pressure of me to clean it quickly once the need arises but regardless I’ll take the hydration win. My only complaint is that it’s a bit clunky if you’re just drying to replace the water because the two main pieces aren’t connected so when it’s turned upside down to dump the water, if your hand isn’t securely holding the dome piece in place, it could fall and crack your sink from it being heavy ceramic (unfortunately from experience). However, all in all I’m incredibly pleased: the material means harbors less bacteria and therefore gets less gross with that slimy residue, it’s pretty ease to understand how to take it apart and put it together again, and most of all my cats aren’t confused with how to use it. I tried a stainless steel fountain before this one and it was louder and got dirty almost instantly due to the filtration system being a joke. The filter for this fountain is annoying in its own way because of how much you need to rinse it to get the carbon powder off but otherwise it does a good job at filtering hair and other debris. I replace the water and use my hand to wipe the bowl section around every 2 days and fully clean it out pump and all around every 3 weeks. I also use a water additive (Vetradent) in the fountain with no issue. The fountain fits about 6 cups of water plus the additive which is two small medicine style cups worth. I did tireless research on cat fountains and I feel really pleased with what I landed on, so I wanted to share my positive experience to hopefully save someone else the hours of time researching that I had to spend.

Great design. Very thoughtful construction, east to clean, seemed sturdy, quiet, and overall a perfect fountain for a surprisingly low price. I was thoroughly impressed, but my cat is a fool and would not touch it so I had to return it.

This is one of three PetSafe water fountains I own, I have 2 of the pagoda style, but THIS style is sooo much easier to clean AND it is whisper silent!!! Same pump, pump filter, and charcoal filter as the pagoda style too! Love it Will buy another

Love the fountain, aesthetically speaking. I like that it's ceramic, super easy to assemble, great instructions, and seems like a solid company I like to support. It is very quiet. I have 4 abandoned cats, 3 of which are related, and need to remain separated from the other male cat who doesn't like having the others around. I've been challenged to get the three to drink enough water, as they are scratching the floor of any dish I put down, as I know they consider the water 'dirty' or not fresh. I thought I'd try a fountain, esp. when the male cat that's part of the family developed a UTI w/ some small amounts of blood coming out. I've had it for several weeks now, and none of the three will go near it. My husband thought it could be the design w/ the tall cone gets in the way. Cats, I've learned, need flat dishes for their food so their whiskers don't hit the sides of a bowl, which bothers them. Maybe the cone is an obstacle for them? Not sure. So, I knocked one star off. I may give it a few more days, before moving it into the other room to see if the other male cat drinks from it. He's better about drinking water, so I wasn't as concerned, but I also felt bad asking to return it. I may try another ceramic fountain with a different, more open round shape, although personally, I love how this one looks.

Good for cats. Ceramic better than plastic.

Es una fuente de porcelana muy linda, fácil de limpiar y de buena calidad. Me gusta que se ve muy estética en cualquier área de la casa. Además es súper silenciosa. Pasa completamente desapercibida. Si buscas algo que ayude a tu gatito a tomar más agua que no haga ruido y ademas que no se vea mal esta es tu opción.

Me encantó, es del tamaño perfecto para gatos y no hace nada de ruido por lo que es muy fácil que ellos se acerquen sin miedo. Mis gatitas empezaron a tomar más agua con esta fuente. La fuente si se conecta a la luz

Tres beau bol de Drinkwell, tres silencieux, se lave bien et pas trop grand

I have misophonia and am highly sensitive to noise and live in a small apartment. All the other "silent" fountains were not silent enough for me but then I found this one and HOLY CANNOLI it does the trick. This thing is truly silent. I also love that it's ceramic and not plastic and then the cherry on top was that I could buy replacement parts anytime.
