Hydration is vital for pet health, and replacing a traditional water bowl with a fountain can offer significant benefits. Veterinarians Dr. Danielle Bernal and Dr. Carly Fox explain that water fountains provide fresher, cleaner water through continuous filtration, reducing impurities and preventing bacterial growth. This is particularly important for cats, who are evolutionarily inclined to prefer fresh water sources. Fountains not only encourage more drinking due to the moving water but also help prevent issues like kidney disease and urinary blockages in pets.
Water fountains can deliver a lot of benefits for cats and dogs by continuously filtering the water, reducing impurities, and preventing bacterial growth.
Fountains also cool the water, which tends to be more appealing to pets, similar to people!
For cats especially, their evolutionary heritage often saw them seek out freshwater sources over stagnant ponds for their safety and wellbeing.
The flow of the water makes it instinctually seem fresher and cleaner to them, which promotes drinking.
