I’m adding another review. I bought this fountain a week ago bc of this review… easy clean up, quiet, minimal parts to clean. I had no idea how much my cats weren’t drinking until I got it…I can tell by what’s in the litter box and I’m shocked by the increase in urine output. Many cats are prone to urinary / kidney issues so getting them drink is important. And cats by nature tend to like running water. I still have bowls as an option but I see them using the fountain a lot and I can tell by the water level in the fountain how much they’ve had. I’m so glad I found this review bc every fountain I looked at before had too many parts to clean. Thanks again for this great review!!
Thank you for all your hard work, shared experiences and information regarding cats. We find your videos very educational and really do enjoy watching! Keep up the good work!!
I used to have this one, and realized that my cat was getting chin acne. I use Petlibro's automatic feeder with stainless steel bowl, so I ended up returning this one and getting their stainless steel water fountain. It may not look as pretty as this one, but I'm liking it so much more for my kitty. YMMV!
I just ordered Petlibro's wireless version of this fountain. My newly adopted cats started to chew through the wire of my old fountain and their wireless model looks like the perfect solution to the wired chewing.
We bought our cats the Catit Flower Fountain about 2 years ago. They all use it and love it. The filters on the Flower Fountain wash well so can be used several times before replacing them. One of our cats sits at one side of the fountain but stretches over and drinks from the opposite side. Very strange cat 🙄 I find ours is quiet but maybe that's because it's sitting on carpet which absorbs the humming. I like to hear the soft trickling of the water - I find it relaxing. Ours didn't drink out of bowls so much but the fountain is a great favourite with them all. We lost one of our cats at the age of only 9 to kidney failure and wondered if it started with low level dehydration, which is why we bought the water fountain. My cats are mostly fed on wet food but do get some dry food in the afternoon. I think everyone who has a cat should have a fountain of some kind.
I had that one before I bought this one. The filters were expensive $10 and only came with 2 of them. Than I found there was a lot of dirt and particles in the bottom and my cats were getting sick. I switched to this and my cats use it a lot more and the filters are cheaper and come with more!
@@amandaangelisse5612 Never had a problem with ours and we've got 2 of them. Got box of 5 filters from Amazon for £13 - about $15. Filters are washable too and last for a long time. The only thing we've had to do was replace the pump in our older Flower Fountain. The new pump cost £8 - roughly $10. Where I live in the UK we have really hard water. For us humans we don't have a kettle now, they would last less than 2 years. We have an Aurora Optima water dispenser which gives us hot or chilled filtered water. As for the cats' fountains, simply clean them out regularly. When our older fountain wasn't working for a couple of days, our cats refused to drink water out of a bowl and used the upstairs fountain. Catit were really good and the new pump was with us within 2 days. Really can't fault them or their service.
@@Mandy_39 I find it easier to clean a cat water fountain with filtered water than tap water. There’s never any sliminess or green mold in crevices. To each their own.
I keep getting IG ads for this and it's time to upgrade from a bowl to a fountain. Ty for your amazing reviews, I always come back to your channel and am now a year and three months into being a cat parent. Clicking all the affiliate links!!
Awesome presentation!🥰 Thank you very much for doing a video on this water fountain. I praise The Most High for people like you guys. 🙏 Much love and blessings.💖 Shalom.😊🤗
When reviewing products, would it be okay if you discuss more about hand washing just like this video? The visuals and commentary on this video really helped since i don’t have a dishwasher so thank you for that!
I got sick if buying filters and the slime from different fountains so i removed filter and just wash more frequently. I use reverse osmosis water also
People complaining about fountains and stuff need to realize that these things need to be regularly cleaned and maintained, they have a lot of parts and components that can harbor bacteria and whatnot, so they need to be cleaned thoroughly and sterilized.. filters aren't going to filter out bacteria etc that create films and slime.
I got given this model as my siblings cats didn't take to it. Some thoughts. It worked fine at first but the water slowed to a dribble then stopped over some weeks. I thought it was the filter, or maybe the power adapter was kaput. Before I chucked it out, I disassembled everything, even the pump housing (don't worry about damaging it, it's all obvious where it comes apart, no tools required). I found the pump inlet gummed up with a lot of nasty stuff and gave it a good scrubbing with an old toothbrush, and used cotton buds to clean the tube that feeds into the fountain. Finally I left the whole thing in hot soapy water overnight, and after an initial run which had it spewing out gunk, it works perfectly fine now. I don't use the filter in it as it seems like it is used up. I am looking into seeing if I can replace the components in the filter with third party replacements (ie activated charcoal, etc). It's not important as the fountain works just fine without the filter.
Can you please do another cat fountain comparison video? You're pretty much the only reviewer I trust and your most recent one is this one and another from 4 years ago
I use two fountains for my cats. They love the burbling and streaming water. It's the same sort of fountain as the one reviewed, but it has a stainless steel pan with it. I've never had success with just plain bowls of water.
Hello. What cat fountain can you recommend that has a great filtration system and also hygienic (not plastic) thank you! Love watching your videos. Very informative and enjoyable 💜
Your videos have been so incredibly helpful! I've been trying to figure out if I want to get the Petlibro Capsule fountain here, or the Eversweet 3. I like the aesthetic of the Eversweet 3, but the basin from which the cat drinks from seems better on the Petlibro. I also like that there are no light indicators and the water is clearly visible on the Petlibro. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Thank you!! This fountain would be perfect if it had a stainless steel drinking pool at the top. Hopefully, they'll release a replacement part one day 🙏🏻 Could you also pleaseee review the Catit Pixi smart feeder and fountain? Love your channel it's been so helpful ❤️
I would get a fountain because cats do like to see the moving water but I would just forgo the silly filters. They aren't going to do anything really and are a clear money grab for these companies to get a recurring money stream. Just keep the large one on the pump to keep the big stuff out. In that regard I think I would get the pretty much all stainless one. Earlier to clean and will prob last longer.
This is exactly what we do. If you rinse and refill every couple days, you don't need a filter. Heck, it probably keeps things cleaner than using the filter and only cleaning every 2 weeks. And I personally find it easier to maintain that way than worrying about when I last changed the filter, or running out of replacements, etc.. Been using a Catit LED Flower Fountain sans filter for over 3 years and it's still going strong. But the middle plastic support piece has SO many tiny nooks and crannies to clean, and you can't put the fountain together without it. Recently purchased an NPET fountain because it was a simpler design, but twice now we've woken up to find water in the tray under the fountain. There are no cracks in the reservoir, so it must be a design flaw with the holes that allow water back down into the reservoir. I think I'm going to pick this one up instead and hope that I can put it together without the filter tray. (I know you can leave out the filter, but I'm hoping you can also leave out the filter tray to simplify the cleaning.)
This was the final "JUST BUY THE THING!!!" that I needed... I was gonna buy it off of amazon... cause well, it is what we do... HOWEVER. with the discount code.... I kinda went nuts. lol 2 fountains and extra filters & pixie the mouse... lol I can't wait. Thank you
Hindsight I kind wish I had ordered a feeder.... but there are other things we gotta figure out first... Like possible diet changes.... oh well. will be back and follow this up with thoughts 2 fountains and the crazy mouse...
Studied my choices for several weeks. I want a simple fountain without all the extras like back up battery and WiFi. You’re review really sold me. Don’t have it yet. One ? to you. With one cat do you think I could get away doing filter changes monthly?
I am looking for a hygienic and easy to clean fountain for a cat and a very small dog to share. Do you like this capsule fountain over the stainless steel?
My main complaint was PetLibro is their customer service is terrible. You can only contact them by email and it can take days to weeks for them to respond to you. I'm still trying to get them to fix an issue with an order from the beginning of June
I found this one on Amazon that might do that. I’ve just ordered it and not tried it out yet but it might do what your cat likes :) www.amazon.com/dp/B087Q8Y37S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_MWD1N3VV44EH2VNZG71Y?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Pioneer pets has one called The Swan. It’s does need to be adjusted, though: people say it’s works better if elevated on a stool, and a couple Aquarius rocks are placed in the base to reduce the splashing sound. And other you can do is adjust the flow of the water: on the pump, there is a slide that allows you to change the flow from full to a stream. Also take into account the maintenance of this foundation: it needs to be scrubbed down with a pipe cleaner, and the pump needs to be taken apart and hand washed. The base and neck can go in the dishwasher, but not the pump parts (the parts are too small, and can be lost). It is also best to run some hydrogen peroxide or vinegar through it once in a while to disinfect.
I'm a big proponent of fountains. I switched our boys' plastic "Veeken" fountain out for the stoneware Drinkwell "Pagoda." We actually enjoy the gurgling water sounds, and the boys frequent their fountain throughout the day & night. The "Pagoda" was a tad pricey, but... nothing is too good for our little gifts from God...
It gave my one cat cat acne. Otherwise, it’s a nice water fountain. The fountain is expensive for upkeep with a multi-cat home with the cost of replacement filters. I would also mention that due to saliva build up on the spout, the top never really gets clean, leaving a white , non-sticky residue. Nothing I did could remove it. It’s best to have more than one in the home for multi-cat homes. I ended up getting rid of it despite my 2 other cats having no adverse health reaction. It’s the best of the ones I’ve purchased thus far, including the Petlibro stainless steel water fountain ( which I don’t recommend).
Would you ever consider reviewing Veretska's grapefruit litter box? It's super cute, but the reviews are pretty mixed. Or even just cute litter boxes as a whole? I know appearance doesn't really matter too much, but I'm sure a good amount of people would be interested Either way, I'm honestly new to the whole cat mom thing, so your videos really help a lot. I just wanted to say thank you and keep up the great videos! 💖
Is there a way to adjust the speed of water flow? It seems to come out pretty slow. Also, maybe a video on cat colony behavior? I think if people learn about how cats act in colonies it would help to understand their behavior better. People call themselves pet parents, pet guardians, and pet owners, but I wonder if we are all really just pet colonists; of the human variety. Just a funny thought. :)
Hi there. No, there's no way to adjust the water flow speed. And yes, I'll take note of your idea on a video of cat colony behavior. Interesting ideas!
How about a review of the Petlibro Stainless Steel water fountain? Gunk tends to build up more on plastic than stainless steel and is harder to clean. But OMG, that was one dirty sink you were cleaning that fountain in...Eeeeek.
I have the stainless steel version of this water fountain and I love it. I’ve tried many water fountains over the years (including other Pet Libro fountains). First, it’s the quietest water fountain I’ve owned. I literally cannot hear anything when it’s running. Second, I love that it’s a high top so my cats don’t have to crouch when drinking. And third and most importantly, my cats actually drink water now. I’m finding myself having to refill it very often because they’re drinking a lot of water 😊
I've been searching for stainless steel version but haven't found any that have this kind of spout which works most like a regular faucet. Can you give me details on the one you have so I can do further research? I'd appreciate it.
Help! I’ve been using tap water in my kittens pioneer water pump bowl. My coworker was surprised I’m not using filtered water. Do I need i need to put filtered water in it????? There’s already a charcoal filter installed 🤷🏾♀️
I only give my cats bottled water , but I live in Arizona. The water here is terrible. If you think the water where you live is ok and you would drink it ….. and your cats are drinking it ok, then I think tap water is fine. That’s just my opinion:)
Love your channel , my Lola is so finicky , I have to literally bring a water cup Up to her mouth so she drinks it , I really want to try a water fountain.
Hm, that's a good question. I suppose you could use a strip of waterproof tape to connect the top of the fountain to the body, and then lift it up when it's time to clean everything.
I have a weird ADHD thing where feel I need captions on anything I’m watching. Lately you have had your captions turned off, if you turned them back on it would be much appreciated. You also have a pretty quiet voice, and I can’t always have RUclips turned up loud.
Hi Lexi, thank you, and I apologize for the lack of captions on our latest videos. We've gotten behind on editing them and are working towards getting back up to date. I'm so sorry that this has impacted you. I'll also try to make sure that the volume of my voice is a bit louder as some others have mentioned that it's too quiet. I recognize you from comments on previous videos, so thank you so much for remaining engaged and continuing to watch even though the situation hasn't been ideal for you. - Mallory
@@AllAboutCatsYT I’m not gonna lie, it’s a bit of an addiction. Watching videos about the best ways to take care of my cats, there’s always more to know. You are pretty informative so I try not to just write someone off because of captions and such. Keep up the good work! You have definitely directed me to the right litter, litter box, tooth paste, cat trees, food, toys, and much more stuff I frankly can’t even remember it all.
Question please if possible, does the Petlibro fountain work as normal without a filter? It looks amazing but the added cost of filters is a bit concerning especially when I'm already filtering the water beforehand for my fluffy friend.
Bit late here, but yeah it works fine without the filter. I change the water once every day or two. I've actually been tempted to cut the filter material open and try replacing it with another filtration material like activated charcoal. Though to be honest, it's a bit over kill lol.
I've been considering getting this foundation, but I saw a lot of reviews on Amazon mentioning that when the water level is only half full, the water barely drips out of the spout. A lot of reviews also mentioned the filter getting moldy quickly. Have you noticed either of these things being an issue in your time using it? Thanks for your help!
Hey Amy, after using this fountain for a few months, I can confirm that the spout does get really slow after the level lowers, but I haven't noticed any mold. Hope this helps!
This happens to most cat fountains and usually the culprit is the foam filter. Its too dense for most filters and they struggle badly. its recommended that it be removed. You have a great three tier filter up top and if you clean it once every two weeks as is recommended you should be right as rain and not need to fear debris damaging your pump.
Hello I’m looking into getting a water fountain and I’m between petlibro stainless steel or their ceramic rainbow one they have? Do you think one is better than the other? I’m leaning towards the ceramic one but wasn’t sure.
Hi there! I haven't tried either of these newer Petlibro fountains, but it looks like it's probably going to be a matter of preference in general. The stainless steel one has a larger capacity, so you'll be able to go longer between refills, and stainless steel is probably a bit more hygienic than ceramic, but other than that, it looks like they're probably very similar in terms of performance.
I just bought mine. Is there a way to slow the speed of the water down? 1 out of 3 of my cats drink from the spout, the others I think it’s too fast for them.
So if the power goes off, is there any water left for the cat to drink? Mom of them the water does go down into the base and it is not accessible for the cat to drink. This is not good if I am gone all day and there is a power outage.
The cat fountains on amazon don’t last a month past the warranty (please be extra vigilant of your fountain and the return window with amazon pet fountains). I sadly and ironically just bought the exact same fountain, which was just delivered after waiting a week.
I loved this fountain so much when I bought it - but within 15 minutes of use, my one cat had the top off and the other cat pulled it over and emptied the water all over the floor. (sigh). It’s very light, so if you have cats that like to play with the fountain, this won’t be a good choice. This is my 4th fountain! I can’t find one that my male cat can’t take apart. Does anyone have a suggestion? The Catit one with the flower on top is another example… the cat had it disassembled within 10 minutes.
Thank you, it’s not just my cat, I got this yesterday and she knocks the lid off every time, may have to return it unless I can find a better way to secure the lid
There is 60 dollar ceramic one on Amazon that I am sure has plenty of weight to It. Its big too. I think it holds more water as well. If its heavy he shouldn’t be able to move it. Its called the ipettie tritone
I have a question: Why does my female cat pee and poop outside of the litter box I’ve looked it up but everything isn’t what I seems to be I’ve tried everything to fix this behavior but nothing worked she will use the litter box to poop the first time but won’t pee or poop in it after that and I clean the litter box 2 times a day and change the whole litter box out with fresh new litter once a week please if you have any ways to help me I would appreciate it thank you🖤
Hi there. There are a lot of factors that can play into this-have you ruled out any health issues? What about stress that could lead to behavioral problems? Do you have other cats who may be making the litter box feel unsafe for your female kitty? You can learn more about inappropriate elimination here: allaboutcats.com/cat-peeing-outside-litter-box
OMG...do not wait 2 weeks to change the water in these things!!! We dump, rinse the parts and inside the fountain and replace the water with filtered water every Tues, and every Sat morning, it is fully cleaned with unscented soap and warm water, and refilled again. Even with a filtre and movement, there is no way that water will not accumulate bacteria after two weeks. Don't get me wrong...we have two of the Parner stainless tray fountains for our boy, but the 2 week rule advertised by the manufacturers is nothing more than a marketing ploy to appeal to consumers desire for convenience. Btw, did not hear whether this fountain is BPA free.
I hated all of the fountains I purchased.. my cat just really likes drinking from the bathtub spicket she'll ask me when she needs to drink and she does drink a lot of water this way
I like your videos, but they're too quiet! I always end up turning the volume way up to hear what you're saying! (The intro/logo is a lot louder than the rest)
Quality videos for sure, but if I have my PC volume at around 20-30%, I usually have to turn it up close to 100% to hear the dialogue properly, which makes any other sounds (like notifications etc) extremely loud.
Thank you for mentioning this, @maruudn. I'll try boosting the audio the next time I edit a video to try to make the entire audio track consistent and adequately loud.
Yikes. I'm sorry to hear that, @Korall. I will definitely be working on this when editing the next video. Thank you for subscribing in spite of these audio issues.
Beware! We have been using petlibro capsule fountain for months. Our cats loved it but…….We cleaned it and put it away for a week while we were away. When we restarted it what appears to be black mold is coming out of the filter even after rinsing and washing several times!! Customer support is NOT being helpful. We have followed all instructions for proper use….so you decide.
I have the catit flower now & im waiting for something better to come along . I can't stand the plastic parts , it accumulates all this grime under the main part . I'll wait on this too. Hopefully somebody designs something non plastic which I like ...!
I can't believe that after going to all the trouble to think out and design this cat water fountain, they did NOT make it out of BPA, etc-free plastic! And for maximum health, they need to make a ceramic or glass version.
Hey, I've heard this from a few people and apologize. I'm not sure why the audio was low in this video, but I'll be sure to boost and balance the volume as much as possible while editing the next one. Thank you for mentioning this.

A tip : I put filtered drinking water into the water fountains. Saves money on buying more filters.
Either way you're buying water or a filter no?
the filter works to remove the dust and dirt that falls onto the surface of water on the fountain

Interesting. Just one thing, it is high for some cats not used to drinking this way.
This was the final "JUST BUY THE THING!!!" that I needed... I was gonna buy it off of amazon... cause well, it is what we do... HOWEVER. with the discount code.... I kinda went nuts. lol 2 fountains and extra filters & pixie the mouse... lol
I can't wait. Thank you
Hindsight I kind wish I had ordered a feeder.... but there are other things we gotta figure out first... Like possible diet changes.... oh well. will be back and follow this up with thoughts 2 fountains and the crazy mouse...
I’m still a fan of petkit- the indicator lights and burnout failsafe are a MUST for me.
Great points, snowpuppies. The Petkit is a good one.
I’ve found both stainless and ceramic both built biofilm so the plastic doesn’t bother me. The fountain works great and almost silent !
Studied my choices for several weeks. I want a simple fountain without all the extras like back up battery and WiFi. You’re review really sold me. Don’t have it yet. One ? to you. With one cat do you think I could get away doing filter changes monthly?
The website suggests that you can change the filter every 2-4 weeks so it should be fine for one cat to change it only monthly!
One of my cats can't walk by it without drinking from it & sometimes just sits there & stares at it. I think they like it & its easy for me to clean.
I am looking for a hygienic and easy to clean fountain for a cat and a very small dog to share. Do you like this capsule fountain over the stainless steel?
My main complaint was PetLibro is their customer service is terrible. You can only contact them by email and it can take days to weeks for them to respond to you. I'm still trying to get them to fix an issue with an order from the beginning of June
Yikes. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
My cat loves drinking out of the sink where the water drips on his head, I can’t find a fountain that’ll do that. 😹😿
I found this one on Amazon that might do that. I’ve just ordered it and not tried it out yet but it might do what your cat likes :)

There is 1 at a store called Mounds. It has a bigger then normal fountain on it & my cat loved it & she will only drink out the faucet.
Pioneer pets has one called The Swan. It’s does need to be adjusted, though: people say it’s works better if elevated on a stool, and a couple Aquarius rocks are placed in the base to reduce the splashing sound. And other you can do is adjust the flow of the water: on the pump, there is a slide that allows you to change the flow from full to a stream.
Also take into account the maintenance of this foundation: it needs to be scrubbed down with a pipe cleaner, and the pump needs to be taken apart and hand washed. The base and neck can go in the dishwasher, but not the pump parts (the parts are too small, and can be lost). It is also best to run some hydrogen peroxide or vinegar through it once in a while to disinfect.
Would love some advice on cat insurance! Very boring but important imo!
It's your lucky week-we plan to publish a video on cat insurance next Friday. Stay tuned!
@@AllAboutCatsYT hehe can’t wait! Thank you!
@all about cats yay!
I'm a big proponent of fountains.
I switched our boys' plastic "Veeken" fountain out for the stoneware Drinkwell "Pagoda."
We actually enjoy the gurgling water sounds, and the boys frequent their fountain throughout the day & night.
The "Pagoda" was a tad pricey, but... nothing is too good for our little gifts from God...
It gave my one cat cat acne. Otherwise, it’s a nice water fountain. The fountain is expensive for upkeep with a multi-cat home with the cost of replacement filters. I would also mention that due to saliva build up on the spout, the top never really gets clean, leaving a white , non-sticky residue. Nothing I did could remove it. It’s best to have more than one in the home for multi-cat homes. I ended up getting rid of it despite my 2 other cats having no adverse health reaction. It’s the best of the ones I’ve purchased thus far, including the Petlibro stainless steel water fountain ( which I don’t recommend).
Would you ever consider reviewing Veretska's grapefruit litter box? It's super cute, but the reviews are pretty mixed. Or even just cute litter boxes as a whole? I know appearance doesn't really matter too much, but I'm sure a good amount of people would be interested
Either way, I'm honestly new to the whole cat mom thing, so your videos really help a lot. I just wanted to say thank you and keep up the great videos! 💖
Review the new Petlibro dockstream fountain!
Doing it now. :)
Is there a way to adjust the speed of water flow? It seems to come out pretty slow. Also, maybe a video on cat colony behavior? I think if people learn about how cats act in colonies it would help to understand their behavior better. People call themselves pet parents, pet guardians, and pet owners, but I wonder if we are all really just pet colonists; of the human variety. Just a funny thought. :)
Hi there. No, there's no way to adjust the water flow speed. And yes, I'll take note of your idea on a video of cat colony behavior. Interesting ideas!
Can you please review the new Catit Smart Fountain and Smart Feeder?
How about a review of the Petlibro Stainless Steel water fountain? Gunk tends to build up more on plastic than stainless steel and is harder to clean. But OMG, that was one dirty sink you were cleaning that fountain in...Eeeeek.
Thanks for the request, Dan. I'll make note of it!
My cat gets scared by the moving water. I was soooooo confused…. I’m going to order this and hopefully it would work if I remove the top thingie!
Thanks looks very useful.
I have the stainless steel version of this water fountain and I love it. I’ve tried many water fountains over the years (including other Pet Libro fountains). First, it’s the quietest water fountain I’ve owned. I literally cannot hear anything when it’s running. Second, I love that it’s a high top so my cats don’t have to crouch when drinking. And third and most importantly, my cats actually drink water now. I’m finding myself having to refill it very often because they’re drinking a lot of water 😊
I've been searching for stainless steel version but haven't found any that have this kind of spout which works most like a regular faucet. Can you give me details on the one you have so I can do further research? I'd appreciate it.
Just bought the stainless steel version. If I clean the pump regularly I expect to get at least a couple of years out of it.
Good information, your voice audio was really low.
Help! I’ve been using tap water in my kittens pioneer water pump bowl. My coworker was surprised I’m not using filtered water. Do I need i need to put filtered water in it????? There’s already a charcoal filter installed 🤷🏾♀️
I only give my cats bottled water , but I live in Arizona. The water here is terrible. If you think the water where you live is ok and you would drink it ….. and your cats are drinking it ok, then I think tap water is fine. That’s just my opinion:)
Great review.
Glad you think so!
Love your channel , my Lola is so finicky , I have to literally bring a water cup
Up to her mouth so she drinks it , I really want to try a water fountain.
I have noticed my cats do knock the top lid off very easily. Besides this they love it. Any tips to secure the top or prevent them from doing this?
Hm, that's a good question. I suppose you could use a strip of waterproof tape to connect the top of the fountain to the body, and then lift it up when it's time to clean everything.
Can i use the coupon for buy more filters? I see your video but I didn't see your coupon 😩 before buy it!
What type of rubber mat, etc. do you guys use under the water fountains?
I have a weird ADHD thing where feel I need captions on anything I’m watching. Lately you have had your captions turned off, if you turned them back on it would be much appreciated. You also have a pretty quiet voice, and I can’t always have RUclips turned up loud.
Hi Lexi, thank you, and I apologize for the lack of captions on our latest videos. We've gotten behind on editing them and are working towards getting back up to date. I'm so sorry that this has impacted you. I'll also try to make sure that the volume of my voice is a bit louder as some others have mentioned that it's too quiet. I recognize you from comments on previous videos, so thank you so much for remaining engaged and continuing to watch even though the situation hasn't been ideal for you. - Mallory
@@AllAboutCatsYT I’m not gonna lie, it’s a bit of an addiction. Watching videos about the best ways to take care of my cats, there’s always more to know. You are pretty informative so I try not to just write someone off because of captions and such. Keep up the good work! You have definitely directed me to the right litter, litter box, tooth paste, cat trees, food, toys, and much more stuff I frankly can’t even remember it all.
Is this good for dogs too?
Question please if possible, does the Petlibro fountain work as normal without a filter? It looks amazing but the added cost of filters is a bit concerning especially when I'm already filtering the water beforehand for my fluffy friend.
Also which fountain did you choose to use yourself? 😀
It would work, yes, but you would likely have to change the water out a bit more frequently.
@@AllAboutCatsYT thanks for the response appreciated
Bit late here, but yeah it works fine without the filter. I change the water once every day or two. I've actually been tempted to cut the filter material open and try replacing it with another filtration material like activated charcoal. Though to be honest, it's a bit over kill lol.
I've been considering getting this foundation, but I saw a lot of reviews on Amazon mentioning that when the water level is only half full, the water barely drips out of the spout. A lot of reviews also mentioned the filter getting moldy quickly. Have you noticed either of these things being an issue in your time using it? Thanks for your help!
Hey Amy, after using this fountain for a few months, I can confirm that the spout does get really slow after the level lowers, but I haven't noticed any mold. Hope this helps!
This happens to most cat fountains and usually the culprit is the foam filter. Its too dense for most filters and they struggle badly. its recommended that it be removed. You have a great three tier filter up top and if you clean it once every two weeks as is recommended you should be right as rain and not need to fear debris damaging your pump.
I agree with Paige Falcon 🐾
Thank you for this info
Hello I’m looking into getting a water fountain and I’m between petlibro stainless steel or their ceramic rainbow one they have? Do you think one is better than the other? I’m leaning towards the ceramic one but wasn’t sure.
Hi there! I haven't tried either of these newer Petlibro fountains, but it looks like it's probably going to be a matter of preference in general. The stainless steel one has a larger capacity, so you'll be able to go longer between refills, and stainless steel is probably a bit more hygienic than ceramic, but other than that, it looks like they're probably very similar in terms of performance.
I just bought mine. Is there a way to slow the speed of the water down? 1 out of 3 of my cats drink from the spout, the others I think it’s too fast for them.
So if the power goes off, is there any water left for the cat to drink? Mom of them the water does go down into the base and it is not accessible for the cat to drink. This is not good if I am gone all day and there is a power outage.
Yes. There will always be water remaining in the top tray, so your cat will have something to drink if the power goes out for a few hours or a day.
@@AllAboutCatsYT Thank you for such a quick reply!
The cat fountains on amazon don’t last a month past the warranty (please be extra vigilant of your fountain and the return window with amazon pet fountains).
I sadly and ironically just bought the exact same fountain, which was just delivered after waiting a week.
Thank you!!!!
I loved this fountain so much when I bought it - but within 15 minutes of use, my one cat had the top off and the other cat pulled it over and emptied the water all over the floor. (sigh). It’s very light, so if you have cats that like to play with the fountain, this won’t be a good choice. This is my 4th fountain! I can’t find one that my male cat can’t take apart. Does anyone have a suggestion? The Catit one with the flower on top is another example… the cat had it disassembled within 10 minutes.
Thank you, it’s not just my cat, I got this yesterday and she knocks the lid off every time, may have to return it unless I can find a better way to secure the lid
There is 60 dollar ceramic one on Amazon that I am sure has plenty of weight to
It. Its big too. I think it holds more water as well. If its heavy he shouldn’t be able to move it. Its called the ipettie tritone
@@matthewb.1687 - thank you 😊 I am going to check it out!!
How does it compare to their other models?
Good Job!
Thanks, Ruth.
I have a question:
Why does my female cat pee and poop outside of the litter box I’ve looked it up but everything isn’t what I seems to be I’ve tried everything to fix this behavior but nothing worked she will use the litter box to poop the first time but won’t pee or poop in it after that and I clean the litter box 2 times a day and change the whole litter box out with fresh new litter once a week please if you have any ways to help me I would appreciate it thank you🖤
Hi there. There are a lot of factors that can play into this-have you ruled out any health issues? What about stress that could lead to behavioral problems? Do you have other cats who may be making the litter box feel unsafe for your female kitty? You can learn more about inappropriate elimination here: allaboutcats.com/cat-peeing-outside-litter-box
OMG...do not wait 2 weeks to change the water in these things!!! We dump, rinse the parts and inside the fountain and replace the water with filtered water every Tues, and every Sat morning, it is fully cleaned with unscented soap and warm water, and refilled again. Even with a filtre and movement, there is no way that water will not accumulate bacteria after two weeks. Don't get me wrong...we have two of the Parner stainless tray fountains for our boy, but the 2 week rule advertised by the manufacturers is nothing more than a marketing ploy to appeal to consumers desire for convenience. Btw, did not hear whether this fountain is BPA free.
Thank you! Yes, it is BPA-free.
ik this a dumb question but is this just for cats or dogs too?
Dogs could use it! My only concern would be that they may go through it very quickly.
Have you tried the Petgugu Cat Water Fountain yet?
No, not yet! Thanks for mentioning it.
@@AllAboutCatsYT if you decide to please let me know! I have been looking for real reviews and haven't really had any luck.
I hated all of the fountains I purchased.. my cat just really likes drinking from the bathtub spicket she'll ask me when she needs to drink and she does drink a lot of water this way
I like your videos, but they're too quiet! I always end up turning the volume way up to hear what you're saying! (The intro/logo is a lot louder than the rest)
Quality videos for sure, but if I have my PC volume at around 20-30%, I usually have to turn it up close to 100% to hear the dialogue properly, which makes any other sounds (like notifications etc) extremely loud.
Thank you for mentioning this, @maruudn. I'll try boosting the audio the next time I edit a video to try to make the entire audio track consistent and adequately loud.
@@maruudn253 i think so too! Even on the highest setting on mobile It's still too quiet to hear what she says clearly
Yikes. I'm sorry to hear that, @Korall. I will definitely be working on this when editing the next video. Thank you for subscribing in spite of these audio issues.
😎
How to train them not to play with the fountain is the challenge. :(
My fountain doesn't work ?
Beware! We have been using petlibro capsule fountain for months. Our cats loved it but…….We cleaned it and put it away for a week while we were away. When we restarted it what appears to be black mold is coming out of the filter even after rinsing and washing several times!! Customer support is NOT being helpful. We have followed all instructions for proper use….so you decide.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
Thank you
would this be good for kittens?
Dose it leak or spill on it own?
I have the catit flower now & im waiting for something better to come along . I can't stand the plastic parts , it accumulates all this grime under the main part . I'll wait on this too. Hopefully somebody designs something non plastic which I like ...!
I can't believe that after going to all the trouble to think out and design this cat water fountain, they did NOT make it out of BPA, etc-free plastic! And for maximum health, they need to make a ceramic or glass version.
Hi there! I should have mentioned that the plastic is BPA-free, so we at least don't have to worry about that.
I used to have cats that drank from the toilet
Better price on amazon
That is very sad. Thank you for sharing.
Ionic is really bad, but nice video
audio kind of low
Hey, I've heard this from a few people and apologize. I'm not sure why the audio was low in this video, but I'll be sure to boost and balance the volume as much as possible while editing the next one. Thank you for mentioning this.
Jackson galaxy doesn’t recommend plastic cause it can hold mold as it is porous. No thank you.
You’re beautiful I just gotta say
You lost me at, “it is made of plastic”
Just two times per day a fresh waterbowl and my cats are happy.No need for this..
If your such a " CAT EXPERT "
YOU SHOULD NOT EVER RECOMMEND
PLASTIC OF ANY KIND FIR ANY REASON
NOT FOR WATER NOT FOR FOOD
NOT FOR ANYTHING
my kitten is so stupid, I got this for her, and she just splashes the water everywhere and doesn't actually drink it lol
It's pretty good, yeah-Purina Pro Plan is one of the more reputable brands, and their kitten food looks decent.
usb plug fucking no
It's plastic! No thank you!
