The experts consulted for this story do not necessarily endorse the products ahead unless otherwise noted.<\/em><\/p>\n If you struggle to drink enough water, your pet can probably relate. (They really are just<\/em> like us.) According to Dr.\u00a0Danielle Bernal<\/a>, a veterinarian who specializes in animal nutrition, it\u2019s common for pets to need a little added encouragement to get their water in. This doesn\u2019t mean cheering or bribing with treats; it means upgrading your water dispensing system to make drinking water more appealing.<\/p>\n Bernal and Dr.\u00a0Carly Fox,<\/a>\u00a0a senior veterinarian at New York City\u2019s\u00a0Schwarzman Animal Medical Center<\/a>, recommend something like an electric, stainless steel fountain bowl<\/a>\u00a0to make drinking more enticing for your furry friend. Lucky for you, this popular 7-liter option<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0which just won a 2026 HuffPost Shopping Award<\/a> for being one of our best tested pet products, is currently on sale for 20% off, just in time for spring and summer!<\/strong><\/p>\n This means there\u2019s less chance for the water to get…funky, and a better chance of it tasting cleaner and fresher. \u201cMost fountains also cool the water,\u201d Fox previously told HuffPost<\/a>. \u201cWhich tends to be more appealing to pets, similar to people!\u201d<\/p>\n This generous\u00a07-liter stainless steel electric water fountain<\/a>\u00a0is a perfect addition to homes with larger pets or many fur babies. Coming highly rated on Amazon, it shot to popularity with HuffPost readers<\/a>, likely for how well pets take to it.<\/p>\n The fountain has a multi-layer filtration system with two flow modes that keep the water \u201ccool and clean<\/a>\u201d \u2014 just the way your pet likes it. Along with the fountain, you\u2019ll get three extra filters, and you can buy multi-packs of replacements<\/span> without breaking the bank (Per the brand, they should be changed every 2-4 weeks.)<\/p>\n \u201cAll my animals drink out of it (2 cats and 1 Chihuahua) My cats love watching the circling water,\u201d one review<\/a> says. \u201cIt is super easy to clean and I appreciate being able to buy replacement filters and pump from the same seller I bought the fountain from.\u201d<\/p>\n Pet parents who live in hot areas say the fountain helps keep their pets from getting dehydrated. Others say the fountain ensures everyone stays hydrated, and more mention the positive health impacts they\u2019ve seen the fountain have on their pets.<\/p>\n \u201cPurchased this because my dog got a urinary tract infection and needed to be put on a special diet…\u201d one<\/a> wrote. \u201cWe purchased this and it\u2019s amazing. Yogi loves it and does drink more. I feel like the water stays colder and because it\u2019s filtered and constantley re-filtering itself he is getting good clean water.\u201d<\/p>\n Before you say you can\u2019t teach an old dog new tricks, know that mature pups generally need more<\/em> water<\/a>, per Paws at Home Mobile Vet<\/a>\u00a0in northern Vermont. Plus, reviewers say that mature pups like the fountain, too.<\/p>\n \u201cOur 16-year-old dog was not drinking, and our other two dogs didn\u2019t really drink as much as they should.\u00a0After my husband put this together and put it out, that all changed!\u201d another<\/a> said.\u00a0 \u201cOur dogs are drinking more water, and that 16-year-old dog has started to play more. The dogs love this water fountain! Wish I would have bought this earlier!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAmazing product and I wish we made the water bowl change earlier. We have 2 dogs over 50 pounds that would lightly drink from the old school water dish, before buying Oneisall fountain. Now our dogs routinely consume large healthy amounts of water.<\/strong>While cleaning the pump and parts do consume more time, than a basic water dish, the water is much cleaner and hopefully healthier, for our dogs.<\/strong> I had an quality control issue and the seller quickly responded via email (and phone) and shipped me out a replacement, faster then I\u2019ve ever seen an Amazon reseller send out a replacement. I\u2019m very happy and glad I purchased the water fountain.\u201d<\/strong> \u2014 JT<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cLove it! My vet recommended getting a fountain for my aging cat who was dehydrated. Well, he shares the water bowl either a Boxer and a German Shepherd.<\/strong> This fountain is a favorite of all fur-babies!<\/strong> Easy to install and had to fill once a day so far. Kept it on the bubbler since the boxer was not a fan of the spout.\u201d \u2014 Heather B<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cSo happy I bought this water fountain…and so are our 4 pets!<\/strong> We have a large German Shepard and a medium Lab\/Shepard mix, plus 2 cats and I\u2019ve never seen them drink as much water as they do now. It makes me happy that they\u2019re plenty hydrated in this AZ heat and it filters this nasty tap water, plus keeps it cooler.<\/strong> A win\/win for sure!\u201d \u2014 Debbie<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Real Deal: We use deal trackers and commerce experience to sift through \u201cfake\u201d hike-and-drop deals and other deceptive sales tactics.
