ARISTOPETS suffer from the heat as much as we do, and in these months when temperatures rise, it's very important that we, as ARISTOPARENTS, make sure they are drinking enough water.
Eversweet Automatic Pet Water Fountain for Dogs and Cats
For this, automatic water fountains are a great way to keep your ARISTOPET hydrated and cool at the same time, and it will make them more inclined to drink water.
With them, you ensure that the water in the fountain is always fresh and clean. There are models that even alert you when they are running low on water, so you can never be caught off guard. The filters remove bad tastes from the water and capture any impurities or debris it may have, such as pet hair or dust.

Keeping your ARISTOPET well hydrated is essential for their health. If you have an ARISTOCAT, you need to pay special attention to this issue because these animals generally tend to drink little water, especially if they are very young. That's why, as we discussed recently, it's highly recommended that wet food be part of their diet.
But both cats and dogs can be very picky about drinking water. They are likely to prefer drinking if the water is moving rather than in a bowl. Plus, the water will be fresher, cleaner, and more oxygenated.

Automatic water fountains encourage pets to drink more water. To choose the best automatic fountain for you, you need to consider:
Capacity
Depending on the size of your pet, you will need a larger or smaller fountain. A medium-sized fountain will suit almost all breeds, but it's also good to have a fountain with good capacity. Since the water is filtered and always in motion, there's no risk of it stagnating or tasting worse.

Water settings
There are fountains with a fixed flow, but you can also find others where you can adjust the water flow. The latter are highly recommended because they adapt 100% to your pet's needs, allowing you to regulate the speed at which the water comes out or its quantity.
Filters and cleaning
Most fountains or drinkers have integrated carbon filters that are responsible for purifying the water. They are also usually dishwasher-safe (separating the pump and electrical parts, of course). It's important to keep the container clean, because if you let the fountain get dirty, it won't be attractive to your pet.

Material
You can find plastic, stainless steel, ceramic water fountains... the options are almost endless, but always make sure that the material of your water fountain is of good quality. In addition to being much more durable, it will be 100% safe for your ARISTOPET. If your water fountain is plastic, make sure it is BPA-free, an organic compound harmful to living beings.
In ARISTOSHOP you can find an endless number of water fountains, with different sizes and designs, so whatever your needs, you'll find the perfect water fountain for your pet.
