A faucet-style stream in food-grade steel. Runs about a month on one charge, with no cord to plug in or for a puppy to chew.
Replacement filters are sold separately. There is no subscription and nothing renews.
Water is pulled from the bottom of the bowl, pushed up through a three-layer cartridge and out of the faucet arm, so it is filtered continuously rather than only when you refill.
The layers are a mechanical pre-filter for hair and grit, activated carbon, and an ion-exchange media. Between them the manufacturer reports removal of up to 99.9% of chlorine, 95-98% of heavy metals such as lead and copper, and 90-95% of pharmaceutical residues found in municipal water.
Change the cartridge every two weeks to keep that working.
Shipping is tracked, and the cost is calculated at checkout against your address before you pay - nothing is added afterwards. Orders leave the warehouse within 24-48 hours.
You have 365 days to send it back for a refund if your dog will not use it or it is simply not right. The unit also carries a one-year warranty against failure.
Hydration does more for a dog's long-term health than almost anything else.
Drink more water from a moving stream than from a still bowl
Based on manufacturer customer feedbackFace higher urinary health risk when daily water intake stays low
Suffer kidney disease linked to chronic poor hydration
No hum, no pink slime in the corners, no daily fiddling.
A visible arc of water, which is the thing dogs already go to the sink for.
Four parts, no crevices. Rinse them or put them in the dishwasher.
Under 25 dB. It will not wake you and it will not spook a nervous dog.
A 4L bowl is roughly 12-13 days for one dog. Less topping up, less checking.
Rechargeable, so it goes where your dog drinks rather than where a socket is.
Blocks 99% of bacteria, and prevents the slime, mould and dog acne that plastic bowls cause.

Chronic kidney disease is one of the most common conditions in older dogs, and poor hydration is one of its recognised contributors. Urinary problems follow the same pattern. A dog that drinks a little more every day is doing the single cheapest preventative thing available to it.
Most fountains are cat fountains sold to dog owners - too small, too low, and too easy to knock over. This one is a wide open bowl a big dog can get its whole muzzle into, at a height that does not make it crane its neck, with a lip that catches the slobber and drips instead of putting them on your floor.
It runs on a rechargeable battery for up to thirty days between charges, with three flow modes. That means it goes in the hallway, the utility room, out on the decking in summer - wherever your dog spends its time, rather than wherever the nearest plug happens to be. And there is no cable for a puppy to chew.
The reservoir holds enough that you are refilling it a couple of times a month rather than every morning, and when it does need cleaning it comes apart into four pieces with nothing fiddly to poke at.
We had a plastic fountain for two years and I was scrubbing pink slime out of the corners every Sunday. This one comes apart into four bits and goes in the dishwasher. Two months in and the steel still looks like it did on day one. I should have swapped years ago.
Nine-year-old labrador who has ignored a water bowl his whole life and stands at the kitchen sink instead. Took him about three days to work out the fountain and now he uses it constantly. The vet had been on at me about his water intake, so this has genuinely solved something.
My last one hummed and my whippet wouldn't go near it. I cannot hear this one at all unless I'm standing over it. It lives on the landing now, which is where she actually sleeps, and it runs all night without waking anyone.
Our two are in the utility room and there is one socket in there with the washing machine in it. Being able to just put the thing down wherever we liked was the selling point. Charge lasts about three and a half weeks for us with two dogs on it, so once a month on the USB and that's it.
No complaints about how it works - my spaniel took to it straight away and it is easy to keep clean. My only note is that I'd have gone for the 7L if I'd looked at the measurements properly. With one medium dog I'm refilling it about every ten days, which is fine, just not the two weeks I expected.
Every two weeks keeps the filtration working properly. Your fountain ships with a two-month supply, and replacements are sold separately - there is no subscription and nothing renews on you.
Yes. It is 304 food-grade stainless steel and BPA-free, and it is designed to reduce the bacteria, slime and mould commonly found in plastic bowls - the steel blocks 99% of bacteria.
Most dogs prefer moving water - it is the same instinct behind a dog that wants the tap on. The faucet-style stream is there to trigger it, and 96% of dogs are reported to drink more from it than from a still bowl. If yours is the exception you have a year to send it back.
No. The pump runs under 25 dB, which is quieter than a whisper. You can leave it running overnight in a bedroom, and it is quiet enough not to put off a nervous dog.
Up to 30 days on a full charge, depending on which of the three flow modes you use. It charges over USB.
Yes - that is the point of it running cordless. Hallway, utility room, out on the patio in summer. No socket needed and no cable for a puppy to chew.
Under five minutes. It comes apart into four pieces with no small parts and no awkward crevices, and the steel components are dishwasher safe.
The 4L holds 135 oz, which is about 12-13 days for a single dog. The 7L holds 236 oz and suits a big dog or a household with more than one.
Yes. The bowl is wide and open rather than a narrow cat-sized dish, so two dogs can drink without getting in each other's way. Go for the 7L if you have two or more.
It is fine on a covered patio or decking in normal weather. It is not waterproof, so do not leave it out in heavy rain or below freezing.
Send it back. You have 365 days for a full refund, which is deliberately long because some dogs take a week or two to switch over from a bowl they have used for years.
Orders leave the warehouse within 24-48 hours and shipping is tracked. The cost is calculated at checkout against your address, so nothing is added afterwards.
Most dogs are drinking from it within a day or two. If yours is not, you have a full year to send it back.
A dog that has drunk from the same bowl for years can take a week or two to switch. That is why the return window is a year rather than a month - if it never wins your dog over, send it back for a full refund.
