The importance of drinking fountains for pets

Pet stores know better than anyone how important it is to ensure the health and well-being of pets. A key aspect of this is making sure our furry friends always have access to fresh and clean drinking water. Drinking fountains play a crucial role in this. In this blog, we delve deeper into why drinking fountains are important for dogs and cats and discuss the latest and upcoming additions to Warmako's range.

Why Are Drinking Fountains Important?

1. Encouraging Water Intake: Adequate hydration is vital for the health of pets. Drinking fountains provide a constant flow of water, which is more appealing to dogs and cats. This can help increase water intake, especially important for cats who naturally tend to drink less.
2. Better for Health: Drinking fountains filter and circulate water, helping to keep it clean and free of bacteria. This reduces the risk of urinary tract infections and kidney problems, especially in cats.
3. Convenience for Owners: With drinking fountains, owners need to refill and clean water bowls less frequently. This ensures a constant availability of fresh water, making life easier for both pets and owners.

Material Choice: What Is the Best Option?

Drinking fountains are available in various materials, including stainless steel, ceramic, and plastic. Each material has its own benefits, and it is important for pet owners to choose the best option based on their pet's needs.

• Stainless Steel: Stainless steel fountains are durable, rust-resistant, and hypoallergenic. They are an excellent choice for pets with allergies or sensitivities. Additionally, they are easy to clean and very hygienic.
• Ceramic: Ceramic fountains are often heavier and more stable, making them less likely to tip over. They have an elegant appearance and are easy to clean. Ceramic is a good choice for owners looking for an aesthetically pleasing and robust fountain.
• Plastic: Plastic fountains are lightweight and usually cheaper. They are available in various colors and designs. However, some plastics can discolor or absorb odors over time, so choose BPA-free and high-quality plastics.

In some cases, a particular material may be preferred, depending on the specific needs of the pet and owner. For a household with multiple pets, a robust ceramic or stainless steel model may be a better choice, while for a single pet, a plastic model may suffice.

New at Warmako

The Petsafe Viva Pet Fountains are the latest addition to Warmako's range. The Viva Pet Fountains have a sleek and modern design that fits into any interior. The dual filtration system ensures extra clean water, contributing to the health of pets. The Viva Pet Fountains are available in two sizes; the 1.8l version is suitable for cats and small dogs, and the 4.1l version is suitable for large dogs.

Another new addition is the Petsafe Outlast Pumpless Fountain. As the name suggests, this fountain operates without a pump. This makes the product extremely quiet and reduces the maintenance needed for pump mechanisms. The Ion-X filtration system ensures that the water stays fresh in taste and appearance, providing pets with a healthier drinking experience.
