If you’re a pet owner, you’ve probably seen or heard of pet water fountains, which circulate and filter water for dogs and cats. While they may seem like a bougie luxury, pet water fountains are an underutilized tool for pet health, according to veterinarians that HuffPost has previously interviewed.
Just like humans, pets would rather drink cold, fresh water than water that’s been sitting out in a bowl for hours, which can end up being a breeding ground for bacteria – and when your pet is well-hydrated, it lowers their risk of kidney disease, urinary tract infections and other health issues.
Here’s the problem: Pet water fountains tend to be an eyesore. It’s why pet owners are obsessed with this gorgeous one from Drew Barrymore’s Walmart-exclusive Beautiful line of home goods. It has a near-perfect 4.7-star rating and is selling out fast – and it’s actually just restocked after being completely sold out earlier in the summer.
Made for both dogs and cats, this pet water fountain has its own filtration system so the water it sprouts is always fresh and cool — without your having to worry about your water usage. Thanks to an internal filter, it removes any impurities so that your pet is drinking the cleanest water possible. Whether you have a big dog or a tiny kitten, they’ll be able to drink from the fountain easily.
