Cat Water Fountains

Cat Water Fountains are beneficial to your cats health

Go with the flow: Cats will drink more healthy water with a fountain

Water fountains offer a very good way to encourage your precious pet to drink more water, which is very good for their health and well-being – not least because it reduces the risk of many medical complications that can be triggered by dehydration.

You may have noticed that your cat chooses to drink running water, and can be reluctant to drink water that has been left to stand in a bowl. This dates back to the days before cats were domesticated and wild cats chose clean, running water over standing water that tended to be brackish and contaminated.

However, some cats are put off by the almost chemical smell of common tap water.

Cat Water Fountains provide a fresh alternative to tap water

Tap tip: Some cats find water from the sink appealing, others don’t

A drinking fountain therefore becomes the best alternative – re-circulating water through a filter, and providing water with a greater exposure to oxygen to generate cool, filtered, fresh-tasting water.

If your cat doesn’t drink enough water, can lead to dehydration – especially if their diet is mainly if not solely made up of biscuits and other dry foods. Dehydration can lead to some serious health concerns – like increasing the risk of urinary tract or kidney diseases.

There is research that indicates 33% of cats over the age of eight die as a result of kidney or urinary tract problems.

Giving your cat access to a plenty of good, clean, running water encourages them to do as nature intended: to drink all they need. The easiest, and possibly the best way, to make this possible is to buy a drinking fountain.

Cat water fountains tend to be made in one of three materials; ceramic, plastic, or stainless steel.  They can look quite attractive too!

    CDPOM/ Celebrate Pets are a great bunch of people. They have been looking after our cat for just about every period away from home for the last five years, from single days to a couple of weeks. They are really great with him and no extra seems too large for them from watering the plants to putting the bins out. We always get a text from them so that we know visits have started and comprehensive reports on what he's been like when we're away. Cannot recommend highly enough, completely reliable and they love our cat. What more could you want?

    As a customer for over 7 years and a regular traveller, I have been delighted with the service provided in looking after my home and pets. Easy and simple booking and payment process, prompt responses, and never a problem to arrange care for my cats even at very short notice. I have complete confidence in leaving my home and pets in their hands. They keep me updated while I'm away and even put a pint of milk in the fridge if I'm away for more than a few days.

    We are so pleased we found CDPOM as our cat, Lucy, was so distressed in the cattery. We have been using their services for several years now and have always found them extremely reliable and we are always confident that Lucy is in safe hands. From their reports, she seems to enjoy their visits and always looks well and happy when we return home. In addition, they always ensure that the house is left secure and how we left it. We would highly recommend them.

    Louise and all the team at CDPOM have been amazing. I have used them for many years to look after my dog and the team obviously love the animals. They have helped me out at short notice and also kept Molly for longer when I've been delayed. Louise also house sits which give me peace of mind that someone is around when I'm away and less stressful on Molly. Thanks again and cant recommend highly enough.

    So reliable, I would highly recommend Louise and her Cat visiting service. Going away can be quite stressful with cats, as they don't like the disruption of being moved elsewhere, or having strangers in the house. After trying a few things, I realised home visits is really the best way. It was hard to find a reliable service at first, after a few issues in the past, so CDPOM was a godsend. Louise has been looking after my cats for over 10 years, and she has removed the stress out of travelling, as I know my cat will be in good hands with her. Thanks Louise!
