 Catit...Dogit July 29, 2008
Hagen Catit Drinking Fountain (14''x10''x7'' - drinking fountain) I purchased this because I have 3 older cats and an old daschund. One of my cats has renal failure and the vet encouraged me to find a way to get him to drink more. I read all the reviews and scoured the pet stores before I made a purchase. The Catit seemed to fit my needs. It took about a week to get any of my animals to go near it. The dog would go over like he was going to drink but would not touch the mat. I removed the mat and he immediately started drinking. Hence the name we gave it "Catit...Dogit." The cats were still avoiding it. I was frustrated and ready to get rid of it when I looked over and 2 of the cats were drinking from the dome! The cats love drinking off of the dome and the dog prefers the bowl. The pros are: They LOVE it and therefore drink more water. I do not have to change the water every day. The water is aerated so it is cooler and healthier for them. The cons are: I have to change the filter frequently because the filter fills with hair (I have long haired cats) and food particles, I have to fill the dome with water every other day (wish it was bigger)and clean the unit every 4 days. (Remember, I have 3 animals using it.) My local pet stores said it is a slow mover so they are no longer going to sell it or the filters so I shall have to purchase the filters online. I have one old cat that still refuses to drink out of it so I also purchased the Drinkwell. He won't use either of them. He hated the water bowl too! He insisted I turn on the faucet before and insists I turn on the faucet for him now! The other cats look at the Drinkwell, one drinks from it occasionally. Between the two systems, the Catit is by far the favorite of the people and the animals.
Really works July 28, 2008
This company uses the finest quality components. The end result here is a well thought out and executed product. The fountain has been enticing my two cats to drink for over a year now and it works as well as the day I bought it. If you have hard water and wish to not have to clean it as often, use bottled water. The filter inside does remove cat hair and and other debris but you will still have to disassemble and clean the parts every week or two. Remember to snap apart the motor shell and rinse the motor intake well. Also, keep the unit filled with water when in operation. You can easily fill it by pouring water into the dish portion. All this will be well worthwhile in keeping your pets hydrated and healthy.
Innovative Product! July 16, 2008
From the minute I filled the unique bubble shaped water container, put it in the tray and started it up, my cats were drinking out of it!
They NEVER drank the water that I put into their little dishes. and now they actually BEG for water!
This product is very unique and the designer must have really known what he/she was doing, because my cats totally use it.
It's really easy to use, and clean. The little filters DO get dirty quickly and have to be re-ordered, so it might be a good idea to buy a few extra's when first buying the fountain. But other than that I've been completely satisfied with this product! And my cat's are drinking more water and i'm sure are healthier for it!
Terrific product with totally reasonable maintenance requirements June 1, 2008
I bought this for my very finnicky cat and he has totally stopped drinking out of the tub and sink since then. I have had it for about 5 months and it operates perfectly. The motor is very quiet and the water flows beautifully over the dome. I actually forgot to change or even clean the filter until I just read the prior reviews, and I still have not had a problem. Refilling is easy and only takes a couple of minutes. Also, I just rinse out the plastic parts and do nothing else. In the meantime, my cat is very happy and that makes me happy! Do not hesitate on this product, it is an innovative solution to making cats drink enough water to avoid urinary tract problems.
 Will be throwing it away today. =-( April 5, 2008
I'm sad to say that, after 3 months of ownership, this product will be going in the trash today. My cats LOVE this thing so it does break my heart that it has to go but it is just unsanitary. I've cleaned this thing thoroughly more than the instructions say are necessary. There's just no way to get in all of the little crevises it has. I've tried soaking it in vinegar and water but to no avail. It still smells like a fish tank! I may try puting it in the dishwasher today and see what happens. Like I said my cats love it and so I really do want to keep it but if it smells like fish tank then the water can't possibly be good for them to drink. If it could be cleaned more thoroughly and easily this product would have 5 stars. =-(
