Please note: The replacement pump might take a little longer to arrive as it may be shipped from outside the UK. Drinking enough water is essential for supporting your pet’s health, which is why it is so important to ensure a fresh supply is always available. If your cat or dog struggles to take in sufficient fluids from a standard water bowl, this Cat Mate Drinking Fountain can be an ideal alternative. The constantly-flowing water is a great way to encourage your pet to drink more. This Cat Mate Drinking Fountain has been designed with a tiered system that offers your pet different drinking heights. As the water runs from the top level to the lower bowl, it acts as a waterfall, while reducing splashing water and keeping the area around your pet’s drinking fountain dry. It is particularly safe and has a quiet operating sound, as well as being easy to keep clean as the bowls can be removed and put in the dishwasher.

Note: When used with only one cat/dog, it is recommended to replace the filter monthly. When used with two or more pets, more frequent replacement may be necessary as the filter could become clogged and this could lead to premature pump failure. It is recommended to change the water contained in the fountain weekly to avoid possible limescale deposits. It is also recommended to descale the pump of the Cat Mate drinking fountain monthly. Note: If used for multiple animals, we recommend replacing the top baffle with an additional filter element (sold separately) to extend the filter change intervals. Note: While the normal replacement filter is particularly suitable for households in areas with soft tap water (low hardness), the 3-stage replacement filter is specially designed for households in areas with hard tap water (high hardness). We recommend that you find out about the hardness of the water in your area before purchasing. Recycling is a great way to help protect our environment.

Common questions
What is the best material for a cat bowl?
Stainless steel and ceramic are the easiest to keep clean and the most durable. Plastic is cheap but scratches, and scratched plastic is harder to clean. Whatever the material, wash bowls daily.
How often should I change a cat fountain filter?
Follow the manufacturer’s schedule, which is usually every few weeks and is printed on the filter pack. Replace it sooner if the water looks cloudy or the flow slows. Clean the pump and bowl at the same time.
