"This is our second drinking fountain. We sold another brand of drinking fountain we had bought previously in a garage sale because it was too cumbersome to set up.

The Drinkwell comes preassembled. Just pop the filter in and add water and plug it in. The white one has a blue tinge to it and is made of good quality plastic. AND it has an ample large drinking resevoir. It's easy to adjust the water flow.

My cats have been frisky and playful since they got their drinkwell. I love it! I cant wait to grow some hydroponic grass in their drinking well too."

Great Product - My Cat Loves It! Date: June 27, 2006
"My kitty likes to lap at the running water in the bathroom sink; so I figured I'd buy him his own bowl that he could drink from without getting into trouble for being on the counter.

I did a lot of research before selecting a water fountain for my cat b"

Drinkwell Pet Fountain for Cats Date: May 16, 2006
"I am a veterinarian and a proud cat owner. A lot of cats are prone to kidney and bladder problems so one of the most important things you can do to keep your cat healthy is to increase its water comsumption. Most cats prefer to drink running water so this"

Not Happy Date: November 21, 2008
"The design of this model is not good!
The plastic pump "screws" into the plastic reservoir from underneath, by pushing and turning it into place.
The pump is hard to remove and replace.
I've only had mine 3 months and the last time I went to replace the pump after cleaning, the side of the plastic reservoir that the pump screws into cracked, making it leak and useless!"

GREAT!!! Date: November 18, 2008
"My cat used this during the last year of her 17 years of life. It helped her gain weight which she needed. She always got nice looong drinks from the flowing water. I was really surprised at how quickly she took to it. Pretty easy to take apart and clean. Recommend to anyone considering a fountain for their pet."

Okay Product Date: November 14, 2008
"I bought this product a year ago and have been okay with it. Even using filtered water and the drinkwell filter it seemed to have a nasty and slimy build up. The product was easy to clean, I decided to replace it due to the fact that it was spilling water all over my kitchen floor (after thinking the cats where making a mess I discovered they had nothing to do with the water all over the floor). Also I tryed to grow the grass in it and it just made a bigger slimy mess (I don't recomend that option at all). The noise was not to bad and my cats did enjoy the fresh water."

Great fountain Date: October 20, 2008
"My cat suffered from urinary crystals - the vet suggested he was not drinking enough. After we bought this fountain, he loves drinking water - before he would only drink off his paws or from the faucet. He loves to stick his face under the running water and is mesmerized by the stream. We have had our fountain for something like 7 years or more and it is still going strong! This does need to be cleaned occasionally or it will get moldy, but with intermittent cleanings, you cant go wrong. With this fountain and a prescription diet, our cat has not had any more problems! We will probably upgrade to the larger fountain or purchase another now that another cat has adopted us."

Great! Date: October 10, 2008
"This is great for our cats who won't drink from a bowl and have gotten urniary tract infections. I'd recommend using distilled water because it helps with uti's and prevents hard water stains. If you don't buy the reservoir you'll have to fill it every other day and won't be able to use it while on vacation because it will dry out and over heat. It's easy to clean and put back together."

Kitty paradise!!! Date: August 30, 2008
"When I first got my kitten, she didn't drink any water. I started off by adding water to her wet food, but wanted to switch her to a combination of wet and dry food. So I bought this fountain and prayed that the $50+ was worth it. It's worth it a 100 times over. She loves her fountain. She drinks tons of water now. She drinks both from the bowl as well as from the stream of water. She also enjoys playing with the water, batting at the stream of water, and diverting it with her paw. It isn't that noisy, only when there isn't enough water in the bowl or when it is first pumping the water. This product is definately worth it. Buy it and your kitty with be in paradise."

awesome!! Date: August 24, 2008
"I just bought this fountain today for my cat, and minutes after I set it on the ground she was drinking from the stream of water. Before I bought this, she would only drink from the faucet, which was cute at first but became rather annoying when she would sit on the sink and meow constantly until someone turned the water on.

I have wanted to purchase one of these for a while, but was hesitant because I thought $50 was a little steep for a water bowl. Now that I have it, I couldn't be happier and neither could my cat! It was so adorable to watch her drink from the spout then come rub against me and go back and drink from it again. I think she was saying thank you."

Fountain & Resevoir are awesome Date: July 28, 2008
"We purchased the "cat" fountain about 18 months ago as our cat would only drink from her water dish if she saw us change the water. Recently we added a beagle puppy to our family, which is why we got the resevoir for it. Both Pikka (our cat) & Max (our puppy) LOVE the goofy thing. It is super and the water stays fresh & clean which is an awesome feat with a 16 wk old puppy. I can't stress just how much our "4 legged children" like it and our 2 legged sons think its pretty cool too"

not happy Date: July 27, 2008
"The cats got off the top and were able to get out the filter. After refilling, it would leak and we had to do the process all over again. Not happy with this product.
Bought the Drinkwell Platinum fountain and for the extra $20 are much happier with this product. Never leaks and is much easier to clean. Water flow is excellent. The cats love this product and so do we. =^..^="

Good but not that good Date: July 21, 2008
"Me and my wife bought this item for our two 10 week old kittens. Now granite the idea of this product is really really good. My cats are afraid of it, the motor it uses to pump the water up into the reservoir is noisy they have taken a few sips from it but other then that they stay clear. Even if there is no water for them to drink they still don't drink it. we had it out in plain site for 4 days and they wouldn't drink from it only at night when we put water out before bed would they drink water. So i guess my cats are just finicky but if the motor was quiet it would be fine."

"I just bought this tonight at Petco and my cat loves it! I've seen him use it several times just tonight. Hopefully this will stop him from drinking out of the toilet and faucets. Highly recommend this product!"

we love our drinkwell! Date: July 7, 2008
"This is our second one (our cat sitter let the first one run dry and killed the motor- thank God for no fire!). Our cats love to have fresh water, and this one is it! I see it's recommended to clean it weekly, and with our old one, I only changed it our once a month, and it lasted 2 years, so who knows how long this one will last with weekly cleanings! Great, great product!"

Best Purchase for our Cats!!!! Date: June 6, 2008
"Our cats had become so spoiled that they only wanted to drink from the faucet in the tub. We saw this product and decided to splurge and buy it for them. It was an excellent choice! They all are enjoying the fresh running water!"

Worth Buying Date: May 12, 2008
"I purchase this fountain about two years ago and my cats love it and I'm planning to buy another one since the one I have needs to be replace. I notice my cats prefer the fountain 100% rather than drinking from a regular bowl. The only thing I don't like about it is that it have some hard to reach areas when it's time to clean it so what I do is used Q tips to clean these areas."
