 Definitely worth it! October 10, 2008
We have 2 cats, one who loves to drink out of the bathroom faucet. He even got to the point where he would wake me up at night and keep pawing at my face until I got up and turned it on. I had considered a pet fountain for some time but with so many had a hard time choosing how much to spend and what features I thought would be the best for our cats. I decided on the platinum model because the water comes out just like the faucet, not just down a ramp. Both cats took to it the first day, sitting and watching the water and playing with it with their paws. By the second day they were both drinking out of it.
I don't use the charcoal filters since our water is filtered to begin with. The little plastic filter by the flow control is great for keeping hair out of the pump. It is fairly quiet but of course you can hear the running water, which was easy to get used to. A big plus for me is it is very easy to take apart and clean, and easy to reassemble. The only negative is the design of the cap for the water tank- it has no seal so when you turn it over to insert into the base it leaks quite a bit. I do think it is too expensive but don't consider that a negative- it was a small price to pay to keep a cold nose from waking me up in the middle of the night!
drinkwell fountain drinks well October 7, 2008
This is a great product. In all honesty, I don't see much wrong with it, other than I don't like that I have to buy a new filter so often. Cleaning of the fountain has become quick and easy for me. I've also decided, just for the cats, that I will use bottled water so the filter is not used up as quickly, as my tap water is atrocious. All in all, I like this product and it's a great way to get my cats to drink more water.
Great buy! October 6, 2008
My cats love their new drinkwell! The fountain is placed on a towel which catches any splatter. We do not notice any noise! I am not crazy about the weekly cleaning, but it is not too difficult. It does NOT require any special brushes. I use plain bottle brush. We also use filtered water from frig which decreases the need for more frequent changes of filters.
The charcoal filters are hard to find in pet supply stores and vary greatly in cost- from $14.00 to $11 per 3 pk.
Would be cheaper to order on line and pay shipping!
Drinkwell platinum great for large dogs and cats October 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Great product and easy to keep clean. Main reason for purchase was to increase water consumption of cat that had previously had kidney and bladder stones. She has at least doubled the amount of water she was consuming before I had the drinkwell. I was also very pleased my German Shepherd likes to drink out of it and seems to make less of a mess than when drinking from a traditional bowl. I don't even have to fill it everyday. I wish the bowl was a little deeper, but this one is sufficient.
Drinkwell Platinum - Love It! October 2, 2008
I just bought the Drinkwell Platinum Pet Fountain for my two kitties. I never tried the Original Pet Fountain, so this review is not comparative.
Reading other reviews, I was pretty uncertain about what I was going to get. One review says it's the best product ever, and the very next calls it a piece of ****. So I am offering mine as a fair and honest review of this product.
My review is positive. My kitties were interested in the fountain immediately - they were drinking out of it before I even had the pump running. I tried setting the flow on high, and settled on low - the cats are a little bit afraid of it when it runs on high, and it makes a splashing noise (but does not actually splash water outside the bowl - just makes more noise). On low, the fountain is virtually soundless unless you are standing right next to it, and then the sound is a low hum. If I am standing more than 2 feet away, I can't hear it at all. It's easy to take apart and put back together. The kitties love it and think it's a great new toy. They are definitely drinking more, which I'm happy about - increased water intake is an excellent way to improve your cat's health.
I am satisfied with my purchase and will be buying them as Christmas presents for my family members with cats too!
