What a dog drinking fountain does

If you're a new dog owner, you'll be forgiven for thinking that a dog-drinking fountain is just another strange gizmo.

But whilst caring for pets, it only makes sense that so many canines prefer clean, fresh and odourless water to drink from to keep them hydrated instead of water that stagnates in one place, in their water bowl. And we're the same - everything's better when it's closer to the source.

A dog water fountain lets them get cool and aerated water. Most fountains also recycle water to minimise water use and have a filter to keep the water your dog drinks clean.

Choosing the best dog drinking fountain for your dog

So what's the best dog-drinking fountain to get your dog drinking? Like most canines with their unique personalities, it depends on the dog!

For dogs who love drinking from the hose

Sprinkler dispensers are the best dog-drinking fountain for pooches who love chomping on some water in the backyard. Teach them to step on the lever and your dog can control the water to get fresh water when they want to. (As it operates in a spray, it's best you leave this one outside.)

For indoor drinking

A fountain bowl provides a less messy way for your dog to access fresh and clean water. They can drink it as it runs down into the bowl or take the regular approach of just drinking from the bowl below.

For outdoor drinking

Outdoor dog water fountains are perfect for active dogs in the summer months. Sprinkler and fountain bowl-style fountains are both made for the outdoors, with a design that connects to your hose.
