Product Description
# Filters and aerates continuously moving water to keep it much fresher than standing bowl water. It satisfies the urge for running water and so helps eliminate jumping on counters in search of dripping faucets. Even cats who don't jump on counters to drink from faucets may drink more water using the Fountain. Why is this important? As the veterinarian who created the Fountain for her own cats knows, many cats may not drink as much water as they should. This is one reason the urine becomes so concentrated and predisposes some cats to urinary tract disease. Cats with urinary tract or kidney disease have a critical need for water to support kidney function or prevent crystal formation and obstruction. The DRINKWELL PET FOUNTAIN is veterinarian designed and recommended by vet urinary specialists. It encourages water intake and proper hydration in healthy cats, and is especially beneficial in cats with kidney or urinary tract disease. AND it discourages jumping on counters in search of dripping faucets! Drinkwell Fountain + 50 Oz Reservoir

 Excellent product and easy maintenance January 4, 2009
I was worried that His Magesty, our cat Scar, would be intimidated by this device, since he is quite the scaredy cat. On the contrary, he loves this bubbler and partakes of it regularly. We love it because the reservoir keeps him supplied with fresh, aerated water. The only time we think about this device is when we clean it once a week. Otherwise, it's very quiet, so after you get used to the noise of trickling water, the sounds tend to fade into the background. The pump is very, very quiet. We live in the country where there is not much outdoor noise, and in the early, quiet mornings before the television and other entertainment devices are on, all you hear is a quiet hum and small fountain noise. I would recommend this product for anyone wanting to provide fresh water for their four-footed family members.
 Fountain great, reservoir not so much. November 16, 2008

First of all, I know that on the other versions of the fountain (with or without this extra reservoir) there were reviews stating that the fountain was noisy or that their cats would not drink from it. This was not my experience, the fountain runs pretty quietly you just need to make sure there is enough water in the bowl (enough to cover the little hole at the base of the bowl where filtration gets cycled through.)br /br /You will need to give your pets time to adjust. My two kittens are 6 months old and they have always drank from a bowl. When I first hooked up the fountain they stuck their paws in and played a little, but mostly looked at it nervously for a couple days. I left their regular bowl next to it and noticed after a few days one cat started to prefer the fountain. After a week I took the regular bowl away at meal time and my other cat started to drink from the fountain. I think most cats will need a gradual change to this, don't expect them to like it overnight.br /br /The bowl itself holds more water than both my cats need for 2 or 3 days. Getting a reservoir attachment wasn't needed, but I got one just so I could always feel secure they'd have plenty of water if something happened and I was away from home. This may be different with dogs, as I think they drink way more water.br /***br /The 50 oz. reservoir container was INSTANTLY KNOCKED OVER by my curious kitten. I had even tucked it by the wall in a position LESS likely to be knocked over... but this is designed so poorly that if your pet likes to jump over it or put their paw up on it, bam... falls over and empties a ton of water all over the floor! (Yes it was "secured" by the little plastic "latch" piece on the back, but it's very flimsy. Plus, there is no way to flip the reservoir over after you fill it without spilling at least a little bit of water.)br /br /So, now I use the fountain by itself. I add a cup of water directly to the bowl at feeding time every day. It stays pretty clean, way cleaner than the old bowl, so I give it a good scrub about once a week. (Compared to the old bowl which was dirty daily.)br /br /Unless you have a dog or need to be away from the house for more than a couple days, I'd just get the fountain without the reservoir container.

Great product for travelers November 10, 2008
It is a great product, but if you travel make sure that you buy the Reservoir. Otherwise, when fountain is empty it can become a fire hazard since it does not have the capacity to turn off automatically.
My cats approve! September 20, 2008
My cats love the falling water and I am happy with the product as well as the service!
still won't drink.... September 1, 2008
really cool product, but my 17 year old cat still won't drink from from it.... prefers the drip of the bathtub. Maybe the next kitty...br /great product, great shipping. Hassle FREE.
