Why choose a dog water fountain over a regular bowl?
While wet dog food contributes to your dog’s fluid intake, a source of fresh water remains essential, especially for dry food eaters. Many dogs are drawn to moving water, and a dog drinking fountain can make staying hydrated more attractive than ceramic dog bowls, which some owners believe may encourage their dogs to drink more regularly, especially compared to standing water.
Here are a few more key advantages:
- Filtration: Most dog fountains use carbon or foam filters to clarify the tap water.
- Cooler temperature: Circulating water stays cooler for longer than it would in a plastic dog bowl, which may be more appealing.
- Continuous freshness: Constant motion may reduce stagnation.
Tip: Pair your dog fountain with a water-resistant dog feeding mat to protect floors from potential spills.

What should I consider when buying a dog water fountain?
There are many different dog water fountains available, from those with sleek designs to larger dog watering station designs. Keep the following in mind before choosing:
- Maintenance: Look for models with easily removable water filters and dishwasher-safe components.
- Capacity: If you’re away during the day or have more than one dog, a higher-capacity dog water fountain bowl might be more practical.
- Noise level: Sensitive dogs might not like noise from the pump or water movement. Luckily, low-noise or whisper-quiet models are available.
- Power source: Most fountains require electricity, but battery-backup models are ideal if you experience outages or for more flexibility.
Tip: Consider an automatic dog feeder to complement your fountain in simplifying daily care. Zooplus offers a wide selection of feeders that serve both food and water.

Do dogs prefer drinking from water fountains?
Many dogs prefer fresh, running water over still water. This preference comes from their natural instinct to seek out clean water sources in the wild, where running water is usually safer to drink. However, not all dogs share this preference. Individual drinking habits and tastes vary, so some dogs may still prefer drinking from a regular bowl.

How much electricity does a drink fountain for dog use?
Dog water fountains consume very little electricity, so you likely won't notice a significant increase in your electricity bill. Keep in mind that most models require a nearby plug socket to operate. Some modern fountains also offer battery-powered or backup battery options, which are useful during power outages or when you are away from home.
