Are There Any Battery Operated Pet Water Fountains?

Short Answer: Yes – and they’re a game changer for Pet Parents.

If you’re tired of tangled cords, awkward fountain placement, or worrying about power outages, you’ll be happy to know that battery-operated pet water fountains do exist, and they’re becoming increasingly more popular. These cordless options provide more flexibility than the standard corded water fountain.

Let’s explore what they are, how they work, and whether they’re right for your pet. Plus a look at one of the top options on the market, the stainless steel battery operated pet water fountain and ceramic battery operated pet water fountain offered by PawsPik.

What is a Battery Operated Pet Water Fountain?

A battery operated or often referred to as a cordless pet water fountain is exactly what it sounds like: a water fountain that doesn’t require being plugged into a wall outlet. Instead, it runs off a battery to power a small pump that circulates water.

Many of these fountains include:

  • Motion sensors to activate water flow when your pet approaches

  • Rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries that can last days or even weeks between charges

  • Filtration systems to keep your water clean and fresh

  • Quiet pumps to avoid startling sensitive pets

What are The Benefits of Going Cordless?

When choosing to go cordless there are numerous benefits. 

  • With not being bound to outlets you have the ability to put the fountain wherever in your home.

  • Without cords, you do not have to worry about pets chewing on the cords or you and your pets tripping.

  • During power outages you have peace of mind the fountain is going to continue to run.

  • Typically, with the provided pumps they are often quieter and more compact.


How should I Go About Selecting Which Battery Operated Pet Water Fountain?

With so many options on the market, choosing the right battery operated pet water fountain can feel overwhelming. To make it easier, ask yourself a few key questions:

 

How much water does my pet need each day?

Large pets or multi-pet households will need a water fountain with a higher capacity.

How often does the battery need to be charged?

Make sure to read and review how often the battery needs to be charged as some water fountains last days while others will last weeks off of one charge.

What material is the water fountain made out of?

There are many choices now for battery operated water fountains, plastic, ceramic, and stainless steel.
