Stainless Steel Pet Fountains

If you are a pet owner and in the market for a pet fountain, you have probably been shopping around and trying to determine which one is the right fountain for your pet and your home. Most people want a fountain that is not an eyesore, but they also want one that is functional and will serve the purpose of getting their pet to drink water, even when he might not want to. There are many pet fountains on the market, and most of them are made from some form of plastic. Some are very light weight while others are fairly heavy duty in their construction. But if you want something a little nicer in the looks department, you might be looking at either ceramic or stainless steel. Both are nicer looking, and more expensive, than most plastic fountains on the market, and they offer a healthier choice in material. Both ceramic and stainless are harder surfaces for bacteria to gain a foothold on, but when you get right down to it the stainless steel pet fountain wins hands down in both the looks and health categories.

There are two stainless fountains currently on the market. One is made by Pioneer Pets, and is their famous raindrop design pet fountain. The other is the Drinkwell 360 Stainless Steel Pet Fountain, and is made specifically for multiple pet households. If you have a single dog or cat and want a stainless fountain, you would probably stick to the version from Pioneer Pet Products. But if you have more than one pet, the Drinkwell fountain could be just what you are looking for.

The Pioneer stainless fountain features the raindrop shape, and is a very stylish looking fountain. the water comes up through the top of the fountain in a small river of water. It then runs down a ramp and into the main bowl of the fountain. this gives your pet a few different speeds of moving water from which to drink, and any pet will find something about this fountain that they like.

The Drinkwell stainless fountain is round, with a tower in the center that offers adjustable streams of falling water. The overall round shape makes it possible for pets to approach this fountain from any direction, and that means 2, 3, or even 4 pets can drink from the fountain at the same time. of course that all depends on the size of the pets involved.

Whichever pet fountain you choose, the thing that matters most is that you do make the choice and get one. these fountains are proven to get finicky pets to drink more water and that is always a good thing that will keep them healthier and the result of that is they will live longer. No one can argue that that is worth the small price of a pet fountain.
