Pet Water Drinking Fountain
The Freshflow water fountain can help prevent serious disease in your cat. By ensuring that your cat has access to a clean, flowing water source each day diseases like cystitis, kidney problems and tummy upsets can be avoided.
Since its introduction, this fantastic product has become a best seller at our clinics and is set to become an essential, but fun, way to keep your cat healthy for years to come.
What's Wrong with an Ordinary Water Bowl?
All cats need water. That's a fact. But most cats seem to drink from anywhere but their nice clean water dish. The dripping tap, a muddy puddle, even the toilet bowl - Eeeuch!
Although this behaviour seems insane to you or I there is method in your cats madness, as Sarah Heath, vet, feline behaviouralist and author explains:
"The cat's instinct is to seek out running water rather than still water in order to ensure that the water is fresh and to avoid the risk of drinking from stagnant water supplies"
She also adds another reason cats may choose alternative water sources that:
"When owners are constantly replenishing water bowls there is a theory that the high levels of chemicals in some domestic water supplies may be the problem. If the water is allowed to settle then the effects of the chemicals on the taste of the water may be lessened but constant replenishing to ensure a fresh water supply may mean that the water is always tainted from the cat's perspective."
You and I know that the water in the bowl is safe but your cat doesn't and if that stops it from drinking adequate amounts it can make a cat that is susceptible to urinary problems much worse.
A Solution your Pet will Love
Although we introduce the water fountain as part of a treatment for sick cats, the fountain is strongly recommended in the prevention of these diseases as well. So your cats can benefit from the clean, running water source as well.
Since its introduction the fountain has become a huge hit with clients, staff and of course the animals themselves!
