Why make the swap

  • Why switch to steel fountain

    A 304 stainless reservoir is smooth, scratch-resistant and dishwasher-safe.

  • What's the concern with plastic pet fountain

    Same scratch-and-bacteria problem as plastic bowls, with water running over those surfaces all day.

  • General information, not veterinary advice. Ask your vet before changing what your pet uses.

  • Good to know before you buy

    The pump, filter and water-level window are plastic; there’s no plastic-free fountain yet. Clean weekly and change filters on schedule.
