TRENDS: Five Smart and Stylish Pet Drinking Fountains

Just like with humans, a hydrated pet is a healthy pet. Modern ‘dry’ diets and warmer weather make it even more important for pets to consume plenty of H2O – and cats in particular can suffer from kidney problems due to lack of water.

Unsurprisingly, pets aren’t too keen on stale, stagnant water and are naturally drawn fresh flowing sources instead. To encourage lots of guzzling, we’ve rounded up some of the best pet drinking fountains to quench a big thirst.

DOGIT DESIGN ALFRESCO DRINKING FOUNTAIN

Dog bowl or water feature? This Alfresco dog drinking fountain ticks both boxes. With an enormous 10 litre capacity, it’s perfect for big dogs that spend more time in garden or homes with multiple dogs. Designed to be used both indoors and outdoors, it keeps water fresh, clean and flowing for panting pooches.
