What are The Best Features?
One of the most basic features pet parents should ask themselves when picking out a pet fountain is: what type of material is best? From plastic to ceramic, knowing which fountain type is best suited for your furry friend can be a tough call to make.
Ceramic Fountains
Ceramic pet fountains are known for being incredibly stylish, able to blend seamlessly into homescapes, ceramic cat fountains are perfect for pet owners that may be looking to spruce up their cat's old drinking fountain. However while they may look nice, at times the quality isn’t always the best. As ceramic fountains can be prone to breaking more easily due to their fragile material, as well as being more expensive than other cat fountains due to the amount of time needed to craft them.
Plastic Fountains
Unlike ceramic fountains, plastic pet water fountains are much more affordable, as they are the perfect price for pet parents on a tight budget, in addition, due to the plastic’s versatile use, these pet fountains are able to come in a variety of styles and colors! The main issue however with these fountains is their likelihood to build up bacteria. As plastic is considered a porous material, this means that overtime bacteria and odor is able to build up within the walls of the fountains, making them unhygienic and not ideal for long term usage.
Stainless steel Fountains
The perfect marriage between ceramic and plastic fountains, stainless steel fountains such as the PawsPik Ultra Quiet Dog Fountain is able to combine both a modern look, with long lasting usage. As stainless steel cat and dog fountains are able to offer a more durable, and hygienic pet fountain. As well as remain long lasting and durable against multipet households.
