5 Reasons This Fountain Gets Aging Cats Drinking More Water

As cats get older, staying hydrated matters even more, since low water intake is tied to a higher risk of kidney issues and UTIs. This fountain gets them drinking more water, by keeping it fresh, filtered and free of the biofilm that builds up in a bowl.

1. Biofilm has nothing to grip onto

When you clean that water bowl, it leaves microscopic scratches that bacteria settles into and quickly forms into biofilm. So no matter how often you clean it, you are only making the invisible problem worse. An older cat is even quicker to notice and walk away.

304 food-grade stainless steel is non-porous and doesn't scratch. Nothing for bacteria to grip. Nothing to hide in.

2. The water cleans itself all day

A bowl only stays as clean as the last time you rinsed it. This one is working to keep the water clean the whole time you are not looking at it, so your cat always has fresh water 24/7. That reduces the risk of kidney issues & UTIs, so your fur baby can live a long and healthy life by your side.

Hair, dust and food bits get pulled out every time the water passes through, before your cat takes a sip.

Bacteria settles fastest in water that is standing. This keeps the water moving all day, so nothing gets the chance.

3. Three parts. Dishwasher safe.

Many fountains come with a bunch of little parts with tiny crevices that are impossible to clean. This one is made of just 3 main parts. It comes apart in seconds and goes straight in the dishwasher, or takes less than 5 minutes to clean by hand.

4. Faucet-Style Flow Triggers Her Instinct To Drink

Cats are wired to drink from fresh, moving water, not water that's been sitting still. A bowl gives her every reason to walk past it. .

I've watched this happen more times than I can count. A cat who barely touches a still bowl gets introduced to flowing water, and within 24 hours, you can actually see your cat drinking multiple times a day.

It's one of the easiest wins I get to hand a worried cat parent, especially once age is in the picture. It's why I point them here first.

5. Built to outlast the cheap Amazon fountains

Big pet chains cut corners on your cat's health because profit comes first.

You'll find hundreds of cheap fountains that all promise the same thing. But the pumps die, the plastic cracks, the slime buildup never goes away, and you are back to buying another one within the year.

KittySpout products are designed, tested, and approved by veterinarians with your cat’s health and safety first. That’s why they carefully source high-quality, safe materials you can trust.
