Product Description
The New Drinkwell Platinum improves on the widely-popular Original Drinkwell Pet Fountain, and adds many new features. Like the original, the circulating water attracts pets, encouraging them to drink more water, which in turn reduces the risk of diseases like urinary tract infections and kidney disease. It has a falling stream, like the original, but this design reduces "braiding", which in turn keeps the stream from splashing outside of the bowl while still providing the benefits of aeration. The new spout is 8" from the floor, providing easier access for those pets that want to drink straight from the stream. The new pre-filter keeps debris like hair and food particles from entering the chamber where the pump pushes water back up into the tower. This reduces cleaning maintenance, and wear and tear on the pump. The new 3-Layer Filter now removes impurities even better than the original. The new design is even more kind to sketchy cats - the new flow control will not startle them and the new pump is even quieter than the original - some would say nearly silent. The new design also incorporates a built-in reservoir putting the capacity at over 1 gallon, which makes refills less frequent, and giving owners with multiple or large pets relief from frequent refills. And, best of all, the entire unit (including the reservoir) is now dishwasher safe, so you don't have to worry about melting down parts when cleaning like the original version. The Drinkwell Fountain is designed, approved, and recommended by veterinarians, particularly for pets prone to urinary tract disorders. This fountain will save trips to the vet by giving your pet this innovative constant access to running water.

After my cat ignored basic rules of survival (aka - drinking water), we bought him a fountain (can't remember what kind), which he turned his nose up at. So we gave that one away and tried this one, and now my cat has found the will to live! In all seriousness, both my cats love this, they drink water and it actually keeps them pretty entertained. I would definitely recommend it.
I actually have the Big Dog fountain because it holds over a gallon of water. I have 4 cats and 4 dogs and they love drinking from it. The cats love to drink from the stream of water as does one of my dogs. It keeps their water oxygenated and clean from slobber, food particles and fur that can get into their water supply. The water stays fresh and therefore, your pets drink more which is vital to good health. Just remember not to put the reservoir in the dishwasher, I melted our first one (oops) Hand wash only. Make sure to also change your filters regularly and the water stays nice and clean. You wouldn't want to drink dirty water, so why should your pet. I'm sending one to my Mom for Christmas because her cat loves to drink out of the bathroom sink. Cats love moving water. I would recommend this product to everyone who has pets.Drinkwell Platinum Pet Fountain
This water fountain was bought for one of my cats that has problems with getting crystal's in his urine and was recommended by the vet to buy a fountain to encourage him to drink as much as possible. I was a little hesitant to buy one because of the expense and for one more "to-do" to clean and look after, but it really easy to pull apart and clean. I put a full jug of water in the filter area and in the back section before I place the water reservoir on it so the water will last even longer.
My only complaint is that I wish the reservoir had a flat top. As it is right now it has a curved top, so I have to hold it while it's being filled up and then make sure it get's placed on the fountain right away since I can't place it on it's side. This is not a big deal at all, but sometimes with having a busy household (2 kids under 3, 2 cats and a dog) I can't always stop to take the time to fill up the reservoir and get it right back to the fountain since the fountain is not in the kitchen, it's on a different floor and not near a bathroom. It would be nice at times to let it fill up under the faucet on it's own and then I'll place it on the counter ready to go for the next time I go downstairs.
