ARISTOPETS handle the heat as poorly as we do, and during these months when temperatures rise, it is very important that we, as ARISTOPARENTS, make sure they are drinking enough water.

That is why automatic water fountains are a great way to keep your ARISTOPET hydrated and refreshed at the same time, and will make it make drinking water more appealing.
With them, you can ensure that the water in the fountain is always fresh and clean. Some models even alert you when they are running low on water, so you never forget to refill them. The filters eliminate unpleasant tastes from the water and capture any impurities or residue it may contain, such as pet hair or dust.

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

Automatic water fountains encourage pets to drink more water. To choose the best automatic water fountain for you, you need to consider:
Capacity
Depending on the size of your pet, you will need a larger or smaller water bowl. A medium-sized water bowl will suit almost all breeds, but it is also a good idea to have a water bowl with a generous capacity. Since the water is filtered and always moving, it will not become stagnant or taste worse.

Water settings
There are water bowls with a fixed stream, but you can also find others where you can adjust the water flow. The latter are highly recommended because they can be adjusted 100% to your pet's needs, allowing you to regulate the speed at which the water comes out or its quantity.
Filters and cleaning
The vast majority of fountains and water bowls have built-in carbon filters that purify the water. They are also usually dishwasher-safe (after removing the pump and electrical parts, of course). It is important that you keep the bowl clean, because if you let the water bowl get dirty, your pet will not find it appealing.

Material
You can find plastic, stainless steel, and ceramic water bowls... the options are almost endless, but always make sure that the material your water bowl is made of is high quality. Besides being much more durable, it will be 100% safe for your ARISTOPET. If your water bowl is made of plastic, make sure it is BPA-free, as BPA is an organic compound that is harmful to living beings.
At ARISTOSHOP, you can find countless water bowls in different sizes and designs, so whatever your needs, you can find the perfect water bowl for your pet.
